ED doesn't have a hardcore mode, although there is nothing stopping you resetting your save each time you are 'killed'.
The problem with that suggestion is that anyone you meet in open is playing softcore while you are playing hardcore.
Indeed it is - but is the only option currently if one wants 'dead=dead' in-game.
Although adding the option could be amusing - although to make it fair it would need to be a seperate mode otherwise it would be pointless. (and with the lack of sensible modes already, what is the likelihood of another being added?)
I did this a few times. It was fun until the X time you had to open up engineers.
I much prefer Isinona approach of loosing the ship you are in when you die (i.e. not using the insurance).
But yes, it's all self imposed rules.
The option at launch to start a ‘hardcore’ character where dead-is-dead would be interesting, and I might even be inclined to try it once. But please no survival mechanics beyond managing suit power/O2 supplies, they’d be jarring and damage immersion to me at least, having not been a concern up to this point in game.
Been asking for it since 2015 myself so I do not expect it anytime soon™
More than a Hardcore "mode", it would have to be a Hardcore "character" option, which you set on commander creation and, if you do, you would be instanced only with hardcore characters in any mode you play (in addition to true death i mean, or whatever it'd be supposed to happen).
You can't disable it, or maybe you can, but you can't set it back once disabled.
I think it's the only way to make it simple and fair.
