No one would risk dying and planetary entry and sundiving - at least for me - would end in death, in comparison to ship destruction in open space, where the powers that destroy the ship are much weaker.
The RP could be that the Escape Pod was ejected before the ship entered the Planet's Atmosphere or entered the Sun's Corona. Hence all you witness is the destruction of the ship and not the Escape Pod or the Pilot?
Just a thought?

Yus! Just delete your character every time you get shot down. Kay? Hey, maybe, rather than introducing new death messages, we should just lobby for a script that does this, anyways. Would prevent all those "oorp noobz" from coming back with their "lolcaps" as though nothing had happened. Amirite?
I get mixed feelings, when the mod itself has to be changed, because of attitude issues in the community.
All things considered the suicidal tendencies are sure annoying, but the easiest solution is to include some extra info in the suicide death messages (as well as selfkills), that show which opponent had the highest damage impact before death.
i.e.
Sad.Clown suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression while fighting [XTF]Venganza~[E]
[XTF]-Gaban sufferd a self-administred loadout error while fighting Ragequit-Holidays (Mine)
