Player respawn and penalties?

[Wardog00]

I was curious how players would respwn after death in both space (ship destruction) and ground based combat? This may have been addressed and I just missed i

Will your ship just respawn at the nearest Starbase or Faction Planet? Seems logical so you can not just respawn right back into combat or get spawn camped which everyone knows is annoying. The travel back to the spot of our death would be a penalty alone.


Perhaps after ground battle-accident death you respawn back aboard your ship in sickbay..(like being revived)

I know many MMOs which I have played all have their own death penalty (no pun intended)

Cryptic's own CoH gave the debt meter..(which I hated by the way)....Blizzard (WoW) had the spirit percentage penalty to gear and damage given and received. ..just to name a couple.

Please give me your thoughts on the issue or information if it has been presented by the development team.

The only thing that has been said is that there won't be harsh death penalties. Everything else is just guess work.

Probably depends on the situation. Dying in an episode will likely have a different respawn option than dying in pvp in the middle of nowhere.

And odds are, like in many games, there will be a different death penalty for PVP, or none at all.

Yeah, as Truth said, there won't be harsh penalties.

Most likely you will immediately respawn at a starbase you were bound to, and perhaps do a quick repair job before setting out.

If you died on the surface without a medic, I hope you will be revived in sickbay.

I'm sure Cryptic will come up with a good way that makes it flow in the game. I was just curious if anyone knew or heard something from an interview I missed.
