I think we should try your idea Dizzy. It waters down the risks/consequences for individual players in pvp, and I think the 1.5:1 kill ratio is attainable enough to be useful (though I suspect it's at or near the upper limit of what a side could pull out)...to be honest though, with my limited play time I had this week and going into mid next week, I find the prices for a replacement ship more a factor of whether I'd stick around and fight out something I figured to be a losing battle (whatever happened to your idea of 1 pp ships
).
