Why do we use our ghost as a flashlight?
This always bothered me, seeing as the Iron Lords actively defended each other’s ghosts during resurrection while in firefights. I can’t remember where, but it’s also flat-out stated that one of the ways for a guardian to actually die is for their ghost to be physically damaged beyond repair.
So why do we just have them sit on our shoulder? (more or less) That seems really dangerous seeing as a single stray shredder bolt would probably do a fair amount of damage to a little robot.
I don’t know. That’s just my thought.

Edited by Lyrro: 8/17/2018 2:14:36 AMThe answer to that question is simple. Destiny 2 takes place hundreds of years in the future, after human kind has hit rock bottom shortly after achieving a technological paradise. In that time, we have lost and then recovered and improved upon space ships, a wide variety of weapons, even reaching the point that we can reverse engineer alien technology for re purposing. Even after all this regrowth and continued growth... we have yet to recover any golden age blueprints for flashlights and because of this we do not posses the knowledge or capability to build flashlights. Spotlights for space ships, neon lights to decorate armor and weapons, yes. Flashlights, nope. :P Come to think of it, as often as I've heard the phrase "it's smut" from Rahool when I'm in the tower, when he's talking about his latest "recovered golden age encrypted data" I'm entirely convinced that the "Golden Age" was not the age of technological wonder we've been trained to believe and may have been a little more... less about technology.
