Ship Cripple on Death

[75th Mosquitos]

oh wow, nice post McNeo.

everyone saying that the damage should be made to be 50% or 40% is having a laugh, your ship just exploded, like KABOOM, its gone, nothing left, you would not find a part of the ship with only 50% damage, especially since all your guns also explode from your hull when you die.

so that arguement is just void. everyone else moaning about "having to grind just to fly the ship" seriously, how often do you get killed?? by the sounds of it you just are planet diving for the fun of it, just undocking and heading to camp in the nearest star.

if you die that often, you are doing it wrong.

and normally, if you save up to buy a dread or whatever, a battleship. you dont save to get that single exact amount of credits, you will save to get a little more for repairs and guns and armour, unless you purposely calculated it so that you have the credits right to the decimal point, seriously stop moaning.

Bombers would find themselves paying around what.. 4 million for repairs on death, if not more including all the mines and CD's and CM's you just lost. im sure a more experianced bomber pilot could tell you how much a snac is to repair.

Fighters also as McNeo said, mini razor repairs... ouch, codename weapon repairs... ouch, cheeta thruster repairs... ouch!! people with think before they enguanage, and if they are engaged they will be more inclined to run away, rather than fight to the death because well, you wont lose anything.

If you fly a cap and lose it, you are gonna lose alot more than 4 million, because you should be much more intelligent as a character in charge of a possible 1bil credit attack platform.

sometimes you may get caught with your pants down by bombers in a capital ship, its gonna happen, RP it out and just do your best. its happened to me many times.

this idea also incourages TRADING, and we all know the cycle of trading in this game

Trader > Pirate > Police/bounty hunter > Merc > Terrorist > Millitary
