Death & buying ships

[budd308]

I don't recall where I read this, but supposedly your supposed to lose half your credits when you die? I don't loose any at all, this is slightly annoying because when I kill and destroy someone, I expect them to lose their money so that way they don't just buy another mothership right off the bat. I would like this bug to be fixed in the next update so I can destroy motherships without having to deal with the same one 5 minutes later.

Another bug I have noticed is that even though when you go to buy a ship from your catalog it says that you are not near a shop when you aren't, you are still able to purchase ships. This allows for people to get into a fight and bail their ship and buy another to fight, causing me to either flee or deal with more than one large ships in the same fight. This also causes lag if their ship is massive.

Hopefully both of these bugs will be fixed very soon! I would really like to see the catalog bug fixed as soon as possible!

Pretty sure that was in the tutorial. A lot of text in the game refers to planned things as if they were already implemented. The tutorial also talks about prices depending on supply, but that was only readded back today. Another text mismatch is shields:they have no grouping effects yet the in-game text implies they do.

Losing half your credits would be pretty severe, that\'s probably why it\'s not in right now.

yeah the loss of half your credits as well as your ship would be more likely to make you quit the game then continue. im only just playing sp till i can figure it all out and having pirates remove half my ship after eating through 10k of shields in seconds is frustrating as it is with out the thought of losing half my money.

Half your money might be a little high, I was just restating what I read, therefore I don\'t entirely think half your money is reasonable because then if you don\'t have enough money to go get supplies, you basically can\'t play anymore. There should be a minimum amount you keep, so if you have 1,000 and lose half, you aren\'t left with 500, you should only lose half if it will leave you with more than 25,000 credits or so. These are just random numbers I am using to display my point, schema can come up with his own numbers to make it more balanced.
