I am tired of fighting someone and then they self destruct in the fight because they can't run away or have a chance to win.
Is there some way to make it so SD in a fight would cause more pres lose then just doing it out in space?
Comments? Concerns? Replies?

I don't see why in any reason it should make them lose more prestige. A death is a death. The person got caught by (probably) a bad move, and could have survived (maybe). If I was in the same situation (IRL) I would probably try something like crashing my ship into the enemy.
It would be plain dumb to make you lose more prestige if you SD while in a fight than not in a fight. Both have the same consequences, your ship dies.

You didn't get my post quite? What's the goal of SD? Just popping your ship in space for fun? No. It's to stop an enemy from trying to capture you or your ship, nothing more. I don't see why in any way you would lose more prestige from SD than getting killed. In both, you die. Nothing different, except one was your choice.

one word..kamikaze
it either demoralizes the enemy or pisses em off.in the first the enemy gives up...in the second they get pissed off and make mistakes.either way they end up getting losing or get killed instead.

i use it to either damage enemys so my team can finish them off, or kill them directly ( and its more controlable that waiting to be blown up)

If you get ganged up on by several (K'Luth) ships, and you cant escape, just self destruct and deny them (The K'Luth) the prestige and the pleasure of killing you.
And then log off so they get bored and quit.
Or switch to kluth and bomb their shipyards. >_>
The aspect of getting ganked by a dozen mandibles really inspires me to play.

FYI, self-destructing loses you slightly more prestige than dying in other ways.

"line up and fly directly at the enemy death cannons so as to clog them with wreckage.",
oh and dont forget to
send wave after wave of your own men knowing full well that eventually the killbots would reach there kill limit and shut down.

The only thing someone SDing deprives you of is +1 kill. A kill itself is worth nothing, you get pres by causing damage, so you really don't miss much unless they SD at full HP or something.

Correct. Self Destructing adds 1 point to your Self Destruct stat which in turn reduces your total prestige by 10 points.
