Solarwind, how many times have you been podded?

I believe Dan indicated that having your ship destroyed/captured with you winding up in your escape pod counts as a "death" for some strange reason.

What I'm not sure about is if having your ship destroyed and ejecting your escape pod counts as "being blown up" -- I think it does, but I'm not sure. I do know that if your escape pod is destroyed you have to wait a day to get back in, and I don't think this is really related to how many times you're "blown up", it seems more like an anti-cheating mechanism.

As I said, the game doesn't have a log on "deaths" per se, it just uses the "Times Blown Up" field to check if you should be in the game or not.

So it seems that we need to change that criterion next time.

to be precise, it checks "times blown up" before it decides whether or not you deserve a new ship when coming back into the game. My "I" lists 3 times blown up, as a result of my cross-podding adventures earlier with solarwind, but I am still in the game because I haven't actually had my #ship destroyed# yet so it hasn't had reason to check "times blown up".

if that made anything clearer...

As long as you are alive in an escape pod you're fine. The check seems to be at the reinitialisation stage as aeturneus said.

Oh, and, nothing personal, Solarwind, but the next time we catch you in our little trap, I'm just going to pod you and be on my way.

At least I'm learning...
