"Tip: suicide immediately after fights if you lose equipment. When you respawn, you will have all your mounted items back (granted you haven't docked anywhere..) "
sorry to say that - but thats a horrible example of good roleplay. personally, i very very much dislike people that planet/sundive cause they lost equipment. its a RP server... if you fear the repair bill - don t get into a fight. if you got into a fight, suffer the consequences and repair the ship.
thats why i would always support it when suicide or death in general left the ship with only like 10% health on all components and equipment when you respawn. - a REAL punishment for dieing since we don t "die" anyway.
i know that loosing a fight by being shot down can come cheaper than winning with half your equipment blown off - but .... are we seriously roleplaying? or just pvping.....
