You go back to the last station you were on, but lose all the cargo and other items not equiped on your ship. I think you might lose some money also, but I didn't notice (only died once cuz stinger had us do a super hard mission )

You just come back alive at the last star base/planet/jumphole/jumpgate you were at with everything you had at that point.

So all the stuff you mentioned are basiclly save points?

Im quite used to that type of gameplay but not on mp. Is it the same for SP?

you respawn with everything you had @ death... same number of all types of ammo, nanobots and batteries as well. So if you have an empty cargo hold and KNOW you are gonna die, save on countermeasures, etc. and just wait for respawn option to come peacefully... hehe

That's weird, when I died a number of times in a system that will remain un-named I lost the nanobots and sheilds that I used and had to buy more each time...

There must be some penalty or it becomes too easy to take suicidal (for your weaponry at least) missions on the chance that you may actually make it through, just to stop someone else getting a good whack from it.

My idea of an OS is one that operates the system, not a self contained package of every piece of software ever invented.

You have to lose something imo, otherwise you won't fear death.

yeah that sounds right.

I can hear the lamers now shouting "YES"

Oh no - just hope setting can be changed to give some kind of death pentry

Yeah i agree. Death should be really unwanted. Maybe comparing your level and your gold, and subtract an amount of gold from that. This way people with lots of gold and a high level would be affected by death too.

I dont think you should loose your guns when dying. If you can't afford any new you'll be kind screwed. Maybe you could be equiped with some crappy guns instead? Dunno

That's a good idea Lass, JumpGate had the same kind of thing where your ship, and some basic equipment was insured. So when you died you lost your 'ModX' which were special ship add-ons that helped with speed, armour etc..

So when you died you ended up with your ship, all newbie weapons/equipment. But you also got back about 90% of the value of your equipment back not counting the ModXs. But also your insurance rating went down, and so next time you died you would get less money back.
