I was wondering if anyone knew how to kill a player's pilot right after a) completing a mission, failing to complete a mission, c) refusing a mission or d) accepting a mission. I know of some indirect ways, ie a self-destruct weapon, having a special ship kill them or get them into an empty system and switching to a syst with no outside links. I wasn't sure if you could directly kill a pilot. I haven't found a mission flag or the like yet but maybe someone has some kind of work-around?

Nope, you can't.

You can make a dozen or so hostile warships follow him forever and ever. That should kill him soon enough.

Too bad, it would be cool if you could have the player blunder into a fire-fight in a bar or on a mission and get knocked off. It's kinda unrealistic to say you got shot but somehow came back to life long enough to take off and get blown to dust in space.

It is too bad, really. Being able to detonate the player's ship as a consequence of some misstep or mission failure would be, uh, pretty cool.

Heh. It could be endlessly amusing to here complaints from players that it's unfair to be killed like that. Maybe I should have a quiet word to Matt...

Perhaps, but for those brave souls playing on strict play it'd be really annoying.

That's the whole reason for strict play, no?
