Been reading a lot of these DP threads and it seems the general consensus among those that want a death penalty want it because they do not care for the way other people play. ... ok fair enough if you spend that much time worrying about other people and insist that they have a time sink when they die how about this?
When you 'die' in space it means your ship is out of commision for whatever reason. We carry around all the bridge officers that do nothing but push buttons, pet tribbles and eat our Gagh. How about some minigames involving each type of bridge officer?
Say you have structural damage that needs repaired you have some on ship misison with your engineer to repair it. Same for science officer to fix computer/sensors or even fight off a boarding party with tatical.
This would take place after a pvp session or a completed mission. But this way your ship is out of commsion while you actually get to play.
Oh and of course this being Star Trek and all the captain should get to take a green woman to the prom on the holodeck every once in a while.
