Dying and dying - how does it work?

[Epo]

Most people go for escape pods inrply. A few impose "sanctions" on themselves for dying, which can reach from losing credits for repairs/buying a "new ship/insurance up to permanently deleting the entire character (death).

Think the "escape pod way" is a good RPable option.
Also the new ship can be explained by inssurance things, may with some sanctions like you mentioned.

I'm not sure if this pod is a good idea. There aren't that many ships in fact. Amount of required ships would be bigger than amount of avaible ships. Trying to survive seems to be the only and best solution. Maybe the doesn't happen strategy could work as well

Also the cloaking device is quite too popular for me. Lets say it was very rare technology at first time when infested Rheinlanders were using them. To be honest, I can't imagine how it has became that popular through this 20 years. Maybe I can a bit understand house forces due to their possibilities and so on. However cloaks are too common nowdays for me, but it's just a personal opinion. Well I know we've got a huge advance in technology: bombers, a lot of new ships, battleship shields, carriers (which are arguing with battleships a bit imho) snacks. There's probably an explaination to my questions but it's too fast for me
