Deciding Death
There are three choices available to you. What you and your team decide for the game is entirely up to how you prefer to play. The options are:


OPTION 1: DEAD BUT CAN REVIVE ( DBCR )
Should a player character die, then they are simply removed from the game, until the rest of the team find a way to revive them. Once revived, they will start with the following handicaps:

50% life support
All stored xenosuit cargo items lost
50% of all currency ( credits ) must be removed
The player cannot talk, interact, or provide any help / support to the other players until revived.



OPTION 2: DEAD IS DEAD ( DID )
The character is killed off immediately and cannot be revived. the only option available to the player, is to introduce themselves as a new character from those available to them. Should they rejoin the game then the following applies:

They will start the game as a new character of their choosing
They will start with the baseline character stats.
All items and currency that they owned are to be removed fully from the game. Only quest items can be kept.
It is up to them, and their team, to get up to speed.



OPTION 3: DEAD BUT RESURRECTED ( DBR )
The character, if resurrected will suffer the following, unless the method of resurrection states otherwise:

Return to life with 1 Life Support
All xenosuit cargo items are removed from the player
50% of the players credits will also be removed
For the cargo and the credits, the following applies. The items then become a free-for-all and can be picked up by any other player(s). A vote can take place over who gets what, but of course, the person with the highest leadership has more votes. The items CANNOT be gifted back to the dead player. Any items that can't be carried by the other players are to be discarded. You must have the space in your inventory to be able to carry said item.



Which of the three methods of death you wish to employ, is purely down to you and your team. However, it is best to agree on a method before beginning the game. My personal choice would be " Dead but can revive, as there are perks available within the Shakra perk trees that allow other characters to resurrect players who have passed on.


The ultimate challenge would of course be Dead is Dead. ( not advisable for first playthrough )
