My Mechwarrior should not be killed :-)

[StriplingWarrior]

I find it somewhat of a question of semantics, however I do agree with the sentiment. The point of Mech combat is not to kill the other mech pilot, but to destroy his mech or make it combat ineffective. Killing the pilot is not a requirement for either of these objectives to be achieved.

I thought of this too. You should only be killed if the cockpit was destroyed.

agreed.. if we were dead.. youd have to reset the xp

This is an excellent idea.

[Koningswulf]

Albeit not important it is still a excellent idea!

How about Incapacitated? A bit fancier with getting the point across. Now taking a head shot might give us the DEAD at the end.

[Corvus Antaka]

funny no one thought of this before.

Good idea! Since all of us live to fight another fight, we shouldn't be declared "dead".

[ZefNinja]

Great idea. You could even impose a skill gain penalty for that match if you were cockpit'd. You can't learn jack if you were/are in a Coma
