Assgiggles Relentless Heroes Pandorum Invictus 0	Posted - 2013.02.06 08:40:00 - [1] - Quote I think in eve death is too forgiving and not very realistic. When a player gets podded they should have to start a new character. It would be more fun that way. Thank you for your support.
Destination SkillQueue Are We There Yet 4444	Posted - 2013.02.06 08:46:00 - [2] - Quote This feature already exists in the game and it's called biomassing your character. You should go biomass yourself immediately, so you won't miss out on all that fun you were talking about. Glad to be of help.
Sasha Khaine Dr. Wolfgang 102	Posted - 2013.02.06 08:47:00 - [3] - Quote It might be fun for the brand new players but I'm sure the people who have been playing for like 10 years might get a little upset. Welcome to EVE "The entire British empire was founded on cups of tea... and if you think I'm going to war without one, mate. You're sadly mistaken"

No. it is only if he is podded oh I see what you mean. well. there is insurance

Kogh Ayon SUNDERING Goonswarm Federation 95	Posted - 2013.02.06 09:09:00 - [10] - Quote I agree the profile of OP looks like a troll
Freighdee Katt Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 135	Posted - 2013.02.06 13:10:00 - [11] - Quote HARD. CORE. Seems like a good idea. I can't see the downside. To all the bittervets that will run to this thread to whine about losing 10+ years worth of SP and trillions of ISK every time they have a little oopsie in space: ADAPT OR DIE. Or die, then adapt. To starting over with nothing.
Domanique Altares Rifterlings 0	Posted - 2013.02.06 15:31:00 - [12] - Quote Yeah, I don't think this foolish idea has been even half thought out. Have fun with your 'death penalty' when station campers realize they can just blap you into total reset the first time you undock your shiny new character. I hope you like playing Character Creator Online.
Omnathious Deninard Extrinsic Operations 504	Posted - 2013.02.06 15:42:00 - [13] - Quote Have fun flying frigates with meta 4 modules, oh and never seeing a person in null sec again. Ideas For Drone Improvement Updated 11/30/12Catastrophic Uprising is Recruiting
Rroff The Xenodus Initiative. Ministry of Inappropriate Footwork 197	Posted - 2013.02.06 15:44:00 - [14] - Quote I agree, never had so much fun as training half a dozen alts upto semi decent skills can't wait to do that all over again... and again... and again oh the fun.

Niveuss Nye The Advent of Faith 15	Posted - 2013.02.06 16:26:00 - [16] - Quote Obvious troll is obvious... But, there is some lore for this. I remember reading somewhere of pod pilots being "murdered" by intercepting the brain signal to thier clone. ....and nothing is ever said about these NPC schools that basically enable immortality of a sort. What is thier agenda for keeping folks alive that they can not control or may even do things against such agenda?
FoxFire Ayderan EVE University Ivy League 25	Posted - 2013.02.06 20:08:00 - [17] - Quote Clearly the OP is being facetious. However, CCP could make the death penalty more harsh. Instead of simply losing 20% of the difference in Skill Points from how many SP your clone has and how many SP you died with, they could make it so that you lose 100% of the difference. Have 20 million Skill Points and you didn't upgrade your clone after your last podding, so you only have an Alpha (900,000 SP) clone.... well you lose 19,100,000 Skill Points.

And this is why the skillpoint loss mechanic is largely an irrelevant penalty. It only affects the ones who forget to update their clone, so almost no one even knows the actual penalty of dying in an outdated clone. There simply is no reason to ever not use an up to date clone and it brings nothing good to the gameplay, so the payment might as well be automated. You don't lose 20% of the difference in Skill Points from how many SP your clone saves and how many SP you died with. You lose 5% of the difference at maximum and it will be taken from the skill you had the most SP in. It's also capped so that you can't lose more then 50% of your SP in the skill that suffers the penalty. The thing is this almost never happens to anyone no matter how much they die. That's why it's not really a death penalty, but more of a penalty for forgetting to do a routine procedure.
Rroff The Xenodus Initiative. Ministry of Inappropriate Footwork 197	Posted - 2013.02.06 21:11:00 - [19] - Quote ^^ Yup SP loss is pretty pointless, incidental amounts are at best a minor frustration the rare time they happen and if someone did die and lose 19,000,000 SP you can pretty much guarantee they'd quit the game and that doesn't work in anyones favor.

If you feel that would be more fun, feel free to delete your pilot anytime you get podded. There is a backstory and design for why we have clones. If we had hardcore mode for Eve, nobody would PvP...all you'd have is gankers/griefers that do nothing but destroy the game for everyone else. The only change I would make, if I was trying to make it more harsh, is to only allow the clones to hold the skillpoints that you had when you last refreshed your clone. Even then, I think it would severely limit PVP.

Pretty much.

You must be from the States to use such an analogy.

Please do go on with your analogy. I'm curious to hear where you're going with it, since it doesn't seem to actually have anything to do with what I said or the medical clone system besides the medical theme. Or did you just want to say something mildly humorous for no particular reason?
