Quote:You know, if we actually didn't have this respawn thing, traders would be much more afraid. I mean, if they'd die, they loose their ship (it's transformed into something smaller...such as starflea). I'd totally be for that. We could have insurance companies then, escorts would be more used, no more silent traders, no more AFKing in space (I'm looking at you reav!!), no more "killz me, iz cheeper" , probably less UAU8 spam, more retreating instead of "pvp? 1v1? kk pew pew" and it would take longer to get to 'endgame' part where you just powertrade so you could buy every capital ship in game. More of it, it would probably discourage lolwuts from lolwutting around.
I mean, those ships are not that expensive to buy a new one after killing.
yes, a very good idea to not only let a trader loose his cargo but also his (far more expensive) ship. tell me, how would you eliminate the lolwutz pirates that shoot ayway? i mean, yes, sanctions and all are very nice, but they dont help the one who was destroyed.
and how many players would play as traders/miners when they get a major kick into the crotch everytime they are killed by a pirate? as example, loosing 5000 cargo is bad enough (all the time and money) - and then i have to rebuy my 150 million freighter too? come on, dont be ridicilous.
and its not like ppl get pirated 1 time/day... more like 3-5 times. lets say you are destroyed 2 times a day... thats 300 million alone to get the ship back. no one earns so much on his own, and no one has enough credits to make a profitable insurance with that sums involved.
