PREPARE TO DIE
by Hazed
The code that kills you when your ship gets blown up during a fight will be put into the game on Wednesday.
This is your notification that fighting will have consequences. Consider this your “danger of death” warning.
There’s not much to say about how it works. All you need to know is that if your hull strength reaches zero, you die. If you’re insured, you will wake up in the nearest hospital; if you don’t have insurance, then you are dead-dead and your character and account get wiped.
So don’t start a fighting without checking your insurance, and if you do wind up in hospital, reinsure before you leave.
The insurance package takes care of replacing your ship with a brand new one in tip-top conditions. Of course, you’ll need to stock up again on missiles, and if any of your sensors and jammers got shot up they will need replacing. Otherwise you will be ready to leap straight back into the fray.
