Would be nice if there would be some type of real world type of "recovery" from a destroyed ship.

Hey there! This is Erik, from the video.
First off, major shout out to u/HazzyDevil tackling a lot of questions through Reddit. Absolute champion sir, thank you.
Alright, now for the response pertaining to "recovery" options after dying:
EVERSPACE 1 took place in a roguelite loop because the main character being a clone could easily respawn and start back at the cloning facility for another attempt at completing his objective. As such, it made sense gathering the wreckage and recovering your past dead self in order to build yourself up.
EVERPSACE 2 is the continuation of that story, and (without spoilers) some things have changed about the clone you're playing as. The most important one is this: You no longer respawn. The body you have is 100% yours, with a full lifespan ahead of you. What you choose to do with it is permanent, including death.
As such, it wouldn't make sense to pick up your wreckage after dying in ES2, because it breaks the lore. Instead, upon death, you'll resume from a checkpoint as though your character never died to begin with.
Hope this makes sense. If you think we should incorporate some type of recovery element, is there a way you think we could fit it in to the lore of having one body left?
