A certain hi-tek culture coreward of the Union (but not so far that you are tripping over Aurorans), the Kellis, have a dirty habit of removing dead soldier's brains and putting them in weird ceramic modules. These modules have life support and neuro-interface sockets. They build robots with compatible hardware (they built some others that weren't compatible. I can get those for you cheap). Now, a Kellian warrior doesn't just die for his world once... but over and over as maintenance schedules allow.  When not actually hooked up to a battle-bot, hover-tank, or neuro-fighter, Kellian Warrior Modules live in a semi-simulated world with just enough bad news to keep their minds busy. When needed, they're transferred to a new robo-form and sent out to inflict as much harm as possible before getting snuffed again. 
 
A Mostly Dead Kellian is very like a creature with the Possession Power. He has EGO, INT, PRE, OMCV, DMCV and some Skills. Everything else is sitting on the Battle-Bot's hard drive. To upgrade, he or she (or eir, for that matter) need only plug into another cyber-shell. 
 
Is this an abuse of the Possession power? I think with the right Limitations on the Possession Power (Limited Power - Only With Compatible Hardware), this could work very well. Especially in a military or espionage thing.  
 
My apologies if this has been discussed before and I've missed it. How does this compare with just having characters use sleeves as vehicles?

Lady P just discovered a series called Mom, starring Anna Faris and Allison Janney. So I've watched a few episodes as week. It's twisted and irreverent, and pretty darn funny.

I've been in meetings like that.

I had grilled elk before the opera last night.

Planet's in a 33-day orbit; this is a star from the extended Kepler mission (from which it was a habitable zone candidate) with subsequent observation & analysis from other sources.
 
That link is to the arXiv preprint so it'll be a thick read, but it shows the transit lightcurve as a function of wavelength and the reconstruction of the planet spectrum.

The technical preprint is linked in the Star Hero "Space News" thread.

The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the Sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy-bitsy spider was never seen again
