Borticus the tipler Cylinder has a little problem, it's not OP, it's balanced and so on.
BUT if activated just a moment before death (in pvp a moment before death = 20% hull), you die because there are still enemy cannon or torpedo shots that are reaching your ship, but after dying you rewind time and resurrect.
It's very nice but the kill is counted like you really died, so after resurrection you are still at the center of the map, still at 20% hull and if you die a second time the kill is counted again.
Suggested fix for Borticus: rewind also the kill counter when resurrecting using this ability.

ah i guess this explains what happens when weapons fire is inbound and you use it.

does it actually reviive you though?
Yes, you see the respawn button like you were dead, but then time rewinds, the respawn button disappears and you are still alive.
Kill is still counted.
You DID really die. They get the point. Get over it.
Well, you're not dying. The point shout not be rewarded. But as it sounds like fiddling with the PVP mechanics, maybe we could stick a penny in it?

Whatever happened, the ability should not be enabled once you are dead. I bet it's another client - server glitch, similar to counting a death 2 times (score 15-16) or when you take damage and heal and you stop at hull 0, then go up.

Absolutely hilarious getting p2w except its a loss when used badly. I find this extremely amusing.
So... the Tipler Cylinder is not a big, red Panic button, eh?
I say, good.
There are plenty of other Last Ditch powers available. Use one of those before kicking off the Tipler and it might work out pretty good.

No, in his scenario he did die. If you rewind BEFORE you die then they get no point.
It is your own fault for not pressing the "I payed to win" button before dying.
