 All disables should count in your stats!

Instead of "Deaths from Players" it should just be "Deaths"

It has come to my attention that players will "suicide" on bases or elites in order to protect their stats. They go on killing sprees, then just disables themselves and log off, letting them keep extremely low stats and also preventing others from getting kills or that ever satisfying revenge. I think this is unfair.

No. If people want to suicide then they should. It means that they can get raided so much easier than if you have to dissable them too ;)

No real point. It's pathetic, but they have nothing to be proud of. It won't last long, anyway.

I don't want to raid him, nor can I with our disparate crew sizes. I want to disables him and get his deaths up higher. But I can't because he is always disabled when I go to attack him, but never increasing his deaths in his stats.

This player does have something to be proud of. He has over 2k disables and only 40 deaths...

and they'd have more deaths if they didnt suicide on random to nerf their stats.

Too bad. This change adds nothing much to the game in my opinion and If people want to preserve their stats then they should be allowed to. You should try to take him down when hes online if its such a big deal.

Are you kidding!? It disrupts the mechanice of the entire pvp system!! Go read through all the posts about people complaining about halcs. This technique is like a super halc! Players can invade a planet, then suicide themsef and hide for 48hrs and end up not getting disabled a single time. Sure, you can raid them, but its not near as significant as being able to disable someone. They don't even have to stay disabled, they can just repair whenever they are one, then kill themselves again before they log off. And as far as disabling people when they are online... that gets significantly difficult mid-rank and up, if its a fair fight at least.

I think being able to "suicide" like this and preserve their stats is an unfair technique, and fixing it would add a lot to the game in regards to the players who take advantage of it.

Who cares if you have 0 deaths or 10,000? It has no effect on anything that actually matters (ship strength, production).

You don't disable ships who steal your planets?

Only if its one that I want back. Usually I thank them for opening up space for a more productive planet. My important ones (15x+ artifact) are cloaked beyond most people's ability to scan.

Planet was fluxed. What do you do? Just move on?
