Ok, lets assume repurchasing lost equipment is good rp.
How about when somebody gets killed, but do not lose any equipment? In rp he has lost the ship and everything it had.
*imagines red catamaran with 4 excaliburs, nuke mine, snova and mini razor*
So this person has a pvp and dies. Respawns in Kyoto.
Since he has lost catamaran, he should buy dragon or gb there and sell all equipment bomber had... Dragons hate him for this failure - so he should shoot npc until they go red. After that he should make them green again. Now he can go to guard system ( and ask permission from NovaPG before that on forums) and
buy catamaran and armor again. Now a trip to some weapons dealer for excaliburs, mini and mines and repeat this after next destruction of ship?
And what if someone with Cap armor 8 dies?
I could afford this kind of rp only if my ships had no armor at all and only usual guns like Vengeance, Splitters, no nuke mines; in torp slot - cds or sunslayers or nova torps. I am not even sure if bomber would do any good with two novas.
So - all should type *ejects and grabs all equipment*... before rebuying the ship.
