death on the RP server

[Jinx]

i m not asking for hardcore pvp. and i certainly do not want a dead pilot to delete himself. that would be carried away too much - waaay too much. but as of now, there s no penalty for dieing - hell, there s even a sweet little bonus ( shiny new ship ) when you die. so when dieing becomes such a good alternative it can t be right.

loosing codenames: i do not have codenames, the reason for that is - i m dead lazy when it comes to farming, i can do a traderoute for hours ( for that i m not too lazy ), i can safe up millions of credits to burn them on a battleship just to sell it 10 min later, but sitting at a wreck waiting for a serverreset - nah. i do shoot wrecks when i happen to get close anyway - but other than that, i couldn t care less about them.

are they really that awesome? i wouldn t really know - i m flying a zoner jug, and there s no cap ship codename, as far as i know, and a behemoth freighter which is able to own pretty much any npc fighter anyway, no matter what weapon i use as long as they sort of match the level. ( not like there are codename turrets anyway )

however, it appears that exept for morrigan, everyone would dislike to give a "death" more weight. - i find that a double ended morale though. people make a hell of a fuss about when someone has a weapon equipped that might or might not belong to the faction, and a second later, they fly into the sun to recover their codies.
freelancer IS roleplay "light" no problem with that and its pretty nice as it is sort of - i can chill there. but there are just some discrepances that get on my nerves ( not much, just a bit ) - i just think that especially those that put very much emphasis on what is called "roleplay" should at least not suicide ( too much ).
for the insurence idea - nice idea - but i wanne see the insurence that recovers your credits when you voluntarily fly your ship into the sun.
