An Idea

[leonidos]

Today this idea came into my mind.
May be someone before me have already discussed this but I didnt saw anything about this so I sate this here.
I see people dont care about lives as they respawns back to base. Huge caps fleet disoriented goes to raid. They die and get back to home.. Loose nothing.

How about a death toll. It will depend upon classes/ships. So that people can value thier lives. For example:
Battleship/Carrier : loose 15-20 mill
Battlecruiser/Cruiser dies : loose 10-15mill
Gunboat : 5/10 mill
Transports/Liners : 2-4 mill
Fighter / Bomber : 500k - 2 mill.

If they have cash onboard penalty will be charged by lower limit. Absence of cash will charged by equipments and that will be by upperlimit.

For training there will be submission to avoid death.
For battle you can surrender(if accepted by both) and leave as per rules.

Advantages:
1) Attacks / Raids / Battles will be coordinated/ organised.
2) Better play environment.
3) As the pirate demand(in most cases) are same as the death toll for transports they will have to pay insted of saying "Go ahead and Kill me, I wont pay"
4) For transports they will(i think) travel organised.

Disadvantages:
I dont know. Yours to find out.
