Lets say :
10 M for BS,
9 M for BC,Liner,Battletransport and Super Train,
8 M for Cruiser and or medium transport,
7 M for Gunboat and small transport/Freighter,
6 M for Bomber/SHF,
5 M for VHF/Hf,
4 M for LF.
What will that do?
First, there will be no more "kill me, it is cheaper", couse it will NOT be cheaper, pirates victims will have to role play this time,
Second, even badly damaged, is it still cheaper to repair then to crash, so people will suicide less,
Third, in conn crash respawn will be free, so practice will still be free, maybe even in newbie system (penn or if we get newbie only system),
It is quite easy to earn some 30-50 M in 30 minutes or far less, thats quite a lot crash money, nobody will have reason to nag crashing is to expensive.
Don't make other people suffer for people who don't know what roleplay is.
-Stop development for a month.
- organize the devs team, and have them create a series of tutorials for all aspects of freelancer nodding.
- resign from lead dev, stating " you know what's best for you fools, now go make it".
Any kind of penalty for death is only going to be a threat to new players anyway. Most long timers have enough cash that nothing could really hinder or cause problems. Ignoring the needs of newbies and only catering to the addicts is never a good idea.

Not if /restarts gave you a fitted VHF or 1k transports and this is a way of balancing the addicts down to the same level as newbies. It also means that Jorm spams wouldn't have ever been a thing

Then what'd be the point of having the penalty in the first place?
If I can get a ship in 2 seconds. I'm not going to care if I lose it. So what's the point of me even losing it in the first place?

Everything below that basic is just a barrier to entry for new players, we've all seen newbies flying a few hundred cargo ship and drop a few mil to help them out. This effects anything other than starter ships, you'd be taking a bigger risk when flying a bigger transport, capital vessels will be more sparse but mean a hell of a lot more to the player piloting it and their allies.
I'm not saying that this will ever happen or should happen to disco, but that wasn't the question, the question is "what changes would you do" and that's my answer XD

I'm well aware the changes aren't taking place because it'd be a death sentence for a terminally ill mod.
I was just using your points to reinforce my points of catering to the addicts of disco isn't the best of ideas.
