Quote: Linkero, if you'd actually seen the stuff happen, E.G. people in RL blowing up and blood going everywhere, you would be offended. Try not to be so careless of other people's feelings. I was in a bloody humvee a year ago when I got hit by a roadside bomb. Killed my best friend and damn near killed me.
Does a car in an accident ~10 metres blowing up next to you and the body parts spraying around to you count?
I wouldnt be offended by it; it's a game. Pixels don't die, they just change shape, colour, and either move or stop moving. Sometimes they teleport.
And a simple solution? Make it a simple flying shell bomb that is controlled by an intelligent computer. There you go,a <Insert hull rating for 4x damage> hull, unshielded, slow turning, smart bomb that has no human pilot. You're just killing your wallet.
To solve the respawning thing just so someone doesnt just undock and kill someone again, make it expensive to rearm the 'weapon' that activates on contact, or whenever you please by pressing the trigger. So thus its expensive, and mostly to be used for roleplay.
And please, leave your drama about your friends and family dying to carbombs at the door; we've all probably experienced it, and I know I've gotten over it. I carbomb people in games to this very day. No one wants to hear it
