Yes, just remotely open your inventory once you get killed and start tossing.

Welcome back, SwiftEagle.

cute.

Is there going to be a way to make a profit from PvP? Such as dropping commodities on death equal value to the repair cost of the items, that can be sold to an ai base or something?

Swift

No, unfortunately. You drop stuff that repair your stuff that are broken, but that's about it.

So eager to return to pvp

Once repair costs are hiked (and Jey says it'll be soon), when you die you will have credits/commods worth some percent of the repair cost drop off your ship. Setups with tons of T21 gear are looking at 200m+ per death, so this will potentially be quite lucrative for pirates. On the other hand, it won't be lucrative to camp scoutships anymore since those won't have much to repair.

I still find killing scoutships is worth it since those dumbasses drop billions in credits ;D

you still cant make 20b off of someone dropping gear though

Once prices rise, it's going to be worse than C1 where u could stack 10+ GGs. Moreover CG was helpful alot.
Now u can only die 10 times in an oly runs. Afterwhich it reduces ur gear stats =/.
Give us some relief!

OMG DE! U mean u do?
Devil'sEye: No but in general.

except with the repair being fixed, you can repair mid oly run for twice the credits cost of docked repair (so long as your not actually in fight).

y u force me to use colo's!?

This is a truly great thing if it works out. Will make the game far more challenging, credit hoarding will be much more difficult and items will increase in rarity/cost. Just get it right and you will be taking out a lot of birds with one stone.. Just get it right..

I have an idea!
How about making the commods dropped be able to be sold on the ai bases depending on the ship tech and gear tech? Like level 50 - 200 cost around 400 credits per each and level 250 - 400 be around 15000 credits per each or something like that.

there wont be any scrap dropped anymore, they will be directly as credits. You can grab the beta client and suicide once if you want to see how much it will cost you with the new formula (client will tell you the price it will cost after patch, but once you press yes, it will still only cost you what the server charge currently).

For instance, my main ship is about 240mil per death (480m to repair without docking)

Although if your not alone/not too many ai around, you can scoop back part of what you lost, so it shouldnt affect PVE THAT much but it will give some money to pvpers.
