what about the trade slave griefers? how will the new system affect those? wasnt there some rule put in about weaps disconnecting if a gg wasnt used or somesuch? I'm talking about those players that just kill trade slaves with no real losses, using NB weapons, wont they lose even less in this system? they will be able to get back in and carry on killing TS

I don't know any use for GG at the moment.

Gear Durability and Repairs:

On death, all equipped gear is reduced in durability by 5%. A fraction of that 5% is dropped in the form of scrap parts. The value of the parts will always be less than the cost of your damage on death.

If your gear durability drops below 50%, it's attributes will be reduced by half. Furthermore, if your gear durability is below 10%, it will once again have it's attributes reduced to -90%.

To repair your gear, you can either use scrap parts from the wrecks of other players, or use credits. You are only able to pay for ship repairs at an AI base. Additionally, if you attempt to repair your ship without being docked at a base, you'll be subject to a lower repair efficiency, effectively requiring more parts to repair your gear.

I'm glad I quit this game before you guys started doing this stupid stuff. Really, what where you guys on when you thought of this?

You quit the game, your opinion is invalid. The new system is far superior to the old gear glue system, if you read about it for more that 5 minutes you'll clearly see the benefit.

And buzz, I think you'll find the system will be balanced to not work like that -_-
