That's a sticky spot as far as I'm concerned.  I want to see it realistic enough that people can't get shot 3 times in the face and then pull out a rocket launcher and kill you (not that that has happened to me in unnamed FPS games before), yet don't want death to happen too often.  

Perhaps there should be a strong police presence (automated turrets?) on lawful planets so that if you try to hurt someone, you get knocked out by tranquilizer darts and thrown in jail for a while (can't play except to look at a static picture of a cell?), and if you actually manage to kill someone in a "law zone", you are forever in danger of the above in any "law zone" on any planet.  Oh, and make the death penalty mandatory for murder universally.

Now, we can see that most people aren't going to try to kill other people.  Unless they go outside of the law-abiding areas of space, in which case they damn well better be prepared first, cause they're risking thier lives and they know it.

whitelynx:
Good idea. This also brings me a few more ideas about law enforcement. For example, if you're in an unoccupied system or in deep space and you're attacked, that's not to say you can't get help... you just have to wait for help to get there. There should be a way of alerting the authorities through standard communication methods. Depending on how close you are to a law enforcement base and how fast your best method of communication is, there will be some lag time before the authorities get there to help. Also, if someone jams your communications, you can't call for help. (although communication jamming will probably be detectable, so if you are within a certain range of a law enforcement post or vehicle, they will notice and come to look at the situation.)

Of course, once the war hits, law enforcement will be heavily disrupted.

Sssh! I don't know if they know about the war yet ;) (And when it hits is debatable... and even if it happens might be. Keep in mind the war isn't a part of the game.. it's part of the gaming experiance... aka it's something we'll do on the servers... not cod into the game itself...

whitelynx:
yes, i'm just saying we have to make sure our coding allows for it. ;-)

Morgul:
Back to the actual discussion... yeah, I like that idea.... We also need to define who's the law enforcement.. keep in mind Terran police will likely arrest any League citizen they get thier hands on.


Oh, and while we're talking about it.. how should we handle death?
