I'm not a fan of dying in Disco. But it's a game. I don't care if my pixel ship gets blown up, on a grandiose scale. I might get a little miffed if, say, the Metropolis goes boom, but that's just reason for me to not do whatever I did to make the Meteropolis go boom.
Thankfully, I don't take the Metropolis into combat zones a whole lot. It's a great leverage stick for scaring the crap out of people, a cloaking Arbiter is.
