Okay, thanks to your feedback, we are adding an optional "Hard Driver" mode to the Omniframe's design.(thank you, @Tommaso Renieri )!

Default look is still open cockpit. You have to enable "hard driver" mode.

For those pilots that wish to be fully enclosed, you can toggle a hard shell to cover your character, or have it set to rez automatically if you are in combat mode and de-rez while not in combat. It's fully under your control.

Please let us know what you think!

Hi Guys!, I'm glad you like the solution. To help the undertanding the character position inside the gloves, live from here, a fast sketch for you :) Sorry for the bad presentation :D

Well, people know I don't go on a whim. This was a small change that does not compromise the original intent, and is defaulted to OFF. So people coming into the game will see it as we envisioned it. You would have to enable this mode manually.

That was very nice of you, and the design is great, but now the "whiners" will think if they can bitch loud enough and for long enough, they'll get what they want.
Some folks may jump to such conclusions but the truth remains the same.
The ember team will listen to feedback and offer options when possible but ultimately it will come down to what the team itself thinks is best. It's as simple as that. And we are all (Dev team and community) better off for it.

Please note, the DEFAULT is still open cockpit. This mode is for those who enable it.
I was totally fine with open style but I must admit the new hard driver options is just so dang sweet.
The idea of seeing it auto close when I enter combat. woo... I gotta use it. You and @Tommaso Renieri friggin nailed it. I think a lot of people are going to love it.
