So we can deactivate our shields now.
We can turn on/off our docking lights.
But there's still something missing.
The red button of doom!
I mean it serious. I'd use it. Would you?
(Or is there already such command, but nobody ever asked.
And yes, I know, that you can kill yourself with mines, but what about transporters and capital vessels?)

It could be useful. But I'm uncertain if it would be used 'properly'.

There is one already.
Unfortunately, the original implementation allowed traders to commit suicide and retain their cargo.
Instead of fixing it so there was a loss of cargo, Cannon decided to re-write the code so it would be exactly the same as typing /restart, but with an added death message.
Go figure.
So yeah, feel free to use /selfdestruct and then follow the prompts, but you'd better like the taste of Starflea.

Self-destruct shouldn't be a restart to me, death yes but larger restrictions for a respawn.

Hm yes, already tried that one.

Not without ship loss on death otherwise we end up with a suicide rate higher than 100%.
