The Earthrise team at Masthead Studios has sent us a brand spanking new screenshot from the game's ongoing beta. The screen shows a soldier in front of some type of structure that appears to be some sort of transport device perhaps? What do you think? Let us know!

Looks to me like a mech... is that where you would suit up into one, maybe?
Could just be my imagination... or hope...
First thing that struck me was a 'rez point'...
Like the sound of one guys comment in the chat window, reminds him of SWG.
Clealry not a mech. Its a resurrection point or a teleport pad.
Or the teleport pad that puts you into your mech? That design just looks an awful lot like a mech to me.
Maybe it's a futuristic outhouse?
A very skinny mech then.... I think it is a teleport pad though.....
Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
Probably a rez point. I really hope it's not a form of quick travel.

Future: The Repopulation, ArcheAge, Black Desert, EQN
Okay, a fantasy game not having quick travel is one thing, but a sci figame not having quick travel... well...
If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1000 MPG - Bill Gates
If you look at the mini map you can see yer curser avitar and something right next to it that appears set stationary. I'm going with Teleport. It's been awhile since I read about the game, but I think they have them.
You're right. I guess I need to see it in action before passing judgement. I'm just worried that having a form of quick travel at launch will make it too easy to skip content, or lessen the feeling of being in a full-blown world.

I agree. With all the focus on streamlining that has gone on over the years in MMOs, fast travel streamlines the "virtual world feel" right out of a game.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
If it ruins the emersion, don't use em. The question is , do you have the disipline not to?
No radial flora? Looks kinda flat..

Sad but true.
The 'openness', fantastic. Im sold.
wow, one whole screenshot - and rather dull at that
is this game like one of those old adventures where you get static screen after static screen and you click around the screen to play?
Looks like an exosuit.
Im also interested in Earthrise, but a news post for a single screenshot ? Seriously ?
And they didnt even tell you what you see on it?
"Come and have a look at what you could have won."
what i was thinking
Housing?

whompahs in ao don't change the feel of the world to me, so i guess it'll come down to how they implement it
One thing I always find funny about this company is they release 1-3 screenshots a year. (Take that how you will).
