Punch yourself in the face every time your ship 'splodes.
I'm being facetious of course, but there are people who prefer a quiet trade run and lots of RP to a fight - lots of them.
This doesn't seem to be a benefit to portions of the community who do not like to PvP, much more of a punishment.
And don't tell me "space is dangerous", if we can't make room in this mod for multiple types of people and players, we're doomed as a server.
I don't see EvE having a problem with that and there are tons of players there. Also, back in my time when we played on Vanilla FL servers, there was this penalty thing too, but it didn't decrease the amount of players? So what's your point?
1st EVE is totally a different kind of game.
2nd. "Back in your time?" In 2003 ~ 2004 the game launched and was very known around that time. So, many players were giving it a try or even playing it because it was the "trend" at that time. You don't compare the year when FL was launched with 2014.
Your whole paragraph makes no sense. It's like wondering why DOOM game series doesn't have the same amount of players nowadays comparing to 1995.
