death on the RP server

[Firebird]

I think you'll find most people will oppose an idea where their weapons and such can be taken away after death. Otherwise, I wouldn't be surprised if some group decides to gang up and go on a rampage through the server taking equipment from every single ship they encounter without any concern.

Now one idea (albeit not sure if possible or desired)...currently respawn after death has you appear with all your weapons again at full health and intact, might it be possible to respawn them with only 1 hit point. This would mean a ship being destroyed would have to repair itself heavily to return into action, while the victor would be less damaged. This "solution" would not deal with the main issue though which is that once a weapon is blown off and you dock the weapon cannot be recovered, so...unless there's an option for solving that, this idea isn't admittedly much use.:(

Added thought: Building from the previous idea, could equipment be made indestructible but instead inoperable when at 1 hit point?

Cash drop is one idea, but not keen on the idea of the sudden appearance of cash (call it magic money) since some will use that as a means of obtaining funds. Player A keeps killing Player B and taking the magically appearing cash. We could make the amount low enough not to be of value but then that defeats the point. We could make it as a steal from the other person's cash, but how much? is that approach wanted? and what happens if the player doesn't have enough? :unsure:
