Thread: Alternative to this insurence crap.

If we MUST have a death penalty then why not remove cloneing and insurence all together? Instead you spawn in the cloneing facility of your choice (closest would be a choice) With the wounds and BF as if you had not cloned there (because you didn't). This would give the entertainers and docters more exp and more use because right now, the cantina and doc office is just an annoying stop once every 300 missions. This would also help reduce the clone wars thing, wars fought outside a cloneing facility that everyone has cloned at so no one gets major wounding from dieing, thus they pop right back out and fight on.


This would also save our equipment from magical death goblins that tinker with it after someone smashes our unconcious heads into a street curb. It makes sense, it helps players in the community, and its not something that costs hundreds of thousands of credits to merely reduce rather then avoid. Maybe change cloneing to "reduce" the wounds you take rather then prevent them, but I'd rather they just took out the cloneing thing all together. Also people who have to hurry to work or hurry offline and don't want to camp in the middle of high aggro area can suicide without potentially loseing a great deal of money. And still be hampered from running strait back out into the world.


Any other possible side effects I havn't thought of? Comments welcome.


(PS: MasterSynn if you read this PLEASE pass the idea to the devs! Not the trained monkeys but the one who actually makes the choices)

Meh...I always clone with wounds anyway. I hold no hope what-so-ever that they will come-up with even a half-decent solution.



Where are these magical death goblins you speak of and where may I obtain one?

Grimlins from the crimlins sell them for trimlins.

I see a problem with this.


If you can pick your cloning facility on death then people would start using it as a quick taxi ride around the planet. Even suffering wounds is not a greta headache when you have some decent wound packs.


Just what exactly do you think is wrong with the current cloning system? Why do you want it changed? Please extrapolate your reasons and define the problem to which you propose a solution.


The only real negative in your original post regarded the item decay, I'm wondering if it is your dislike of the decay proposal that makes you want to change the cloning system? If it is then this post is just another anti-decay post dressed up as something else.
