Ship Suicides

[skoko]

Well i am not for it and not against it ... few examples :

For it :Three days ago I logged on my merc (Taiidan) in New York, after some time in end up in the fight with one Falcata, then another Falcata and one Sabre enters the fight against me... one of them is missile Falcata. No problem , i continue to fight, after a while 1st Falcata is retreating , I kill Sabre and only missile Falcata is left, i think : YUUUS! He is mine , i had 2 Debis mines and SNAC left ... so i continued the fight , and 10 seconds after 3 indy Rogue GBs packed with dragonflies with same tag as Falcata came to support my enemy. I thought : okay they are new on server let me thrust away for a few k maybe Falcata will follow, and he did ... but i thought Gbs will figure that and stay out.. but no , and when they engaged me again, and damaged me... I thought ... wait , why would i let them kill me? they didn't show any respect and any fair play why i should reward them by letting them to kill me? And i thrusted away with only SNAC on board and committed suicide in nearby sun. If they let me and 3rd Falcata to finish business... i would stay and die if necessary, i have nothing against that.... its normal in this kind of game. I didn't have strength to flee cause battle was long so thought about thrusting to another system wasn't appealing to me and docking without my guns and mines was not an option. Is it ooRP, maybe... yes it is but in that way I think i have done less damage both to me and to my enemies. I don't have to buy new guns, and they might learn how to conduct in battle.

Against it: Yesterday in Omega5 I fought one corsair from one official faction. One on one, battle was long and hard. Both of us were in same class non vanilla ships. After 30 minutes enemy was left with only nuclear mine on board and he started to fly towards neutron star in Omega 41. And when i told him you will be soon dead corsair. he said to me : But not by your hand. In fair fight ... (It wasn't fair it was 5 - 14 against us) but we were 1 on 1 this kind of behavior is totally unacceptable and it is ooRP. He committed suicide in heavy radiation system without anyone around but me and when escape pod would be destroyed in matter of seconds. I followed him for a while and then i let him go.


Yeah it sounds like this : When you committed suicide it was okay, but when other guy committed suicide it wasn't. Well you know why? It is because my number of committed suicides in fight in year+ on Discovery = 1, three days ago. And i experienced behavior like one from corsair at least 5 per month. This one is newest one so i took it as example. My point is : If you feel you have been beaten fairly (2-3 same class as you vs. you) you have no right to comitt suicide, i am not talking about fleeing from battle. If you have just a bit sportsmanship and fair play in you .... committing suicide will not be an option, until you escape from battle in different system as Del said. Is it so hard to say to another person : Oh mate you are better than me, gf , you deserved it. If it is then grow up! Or play single player games, where you can be god!

I have to agree with concept of ooRP if you do it in battle. But if you do it in another system or your guard system then i suppose it is okay, because guns, mines and money.
