So, upon death, along with the cargo hold items, the player drops an object with an escape pods icon and model "K% 's escape pod" or "The escape pod of K%" where the K% is the died players name.


Rp ideas much?

Too easy to exploit by pvp whores, would be a bad idea for RP:P

And pvp whores apart? The server is not only pvpwhore.

The item has no effect, its just a commodity you can sell. Or something. 1k for selling it on any base.
no aditional coding.

I see the powergaming coming around the corner.....

"bwahaha ive got your POD no return for you!"

But a cool idea, when respect comes in place. I want to tractor Udo in again!

Same what Malexa and Titan stated, its inviting bad rp. Since, large amount of players does not use things they are intended for or in way they are.

Pods would end up in series of scenarios were battleship strolls in, blows up 2-3 figters and then claim they are aboard his ship and he aint letting them go. I agree there are roleplay ways to get out of situation like that, but seriously, it will invite bad form.

Dont be so quick. Its a good idea! Brainstorming, now!

Ok here I go:

Get a message like "drop contraband cargo, YES, NO"
"Do you allow XY to get your pod? YES, NO"

Needs source code

Rules of Brainstorming: Toss in what comes up your mind, without early criticism:yahoo:
After that, go through all sugguestions and cross out the bad, or not possible ones.

Nobody will blame you if you say "Auto-Kill the one that dares to tracktor the pod in, without authorization"

would mean it was possible to 'arrest' smugglers....

would be good if they spawned on the place where you sell the pod... that could be funsies
