Player Spawn / Respawn
There are several options for setting a respawn point
1. Survival Tent
You can respawn at your nearest Survival Tent
2. Clone Chamber / Medbay in friendly stations
If you are on a friendly reputation level with an NPC faction, you can respawn in a nearby POI, if it is equipped with either device.
Of course you can also respawn in your base or a vessel, if close enough, as long as it has a Clone Chamber or Medbay.
3. HOME
You can set a HOME destination for respawn in the control panel of your bases or capital vessels. This requires at least a Clone Chamber to work, though.
When dying, the respawn menu will give you all the respawn options that are currently available, including..
4. ..spawning in the area you died.
This will always put you outside a station, if you died inside. In space this might be problematic.
5. ..start fresh
This will initiate a full restart on your starter planet. You will lose all your stuff, but your bases and vessels are still in the game. You can find and recapture them.
