What are the consequences of dying on foot?
Solution 1:
The main consequence is wasted time. If you die on foot, you are respawned back to your ship, that gets sent in orbit. If your ship is not nearby, like you took Apex to land on the planet, you respawn at a station. You then have to proceed to land on the planet again to proceed with what you were doing.
Additional items
- The mission you were working on is marked as failure.
- You lose any loot that was on your person
If you were just on a conflict zone and die during the "match", it's just a very long delay to get back into the action.
