Is it possible to not die or lose your ship?

[shambles1980]

my motto was die lots at the start figure out what im doing and then work from there.. seems to work ok for me. been known to willingly fly without insurance for a while "i know the risks and accept the possible consequences"

As for bounty hunting i find high intensity combat zones to be far more productive and safer "believe it or not"
Just drop in to one go to the right hand pannel select a team to join in the factions list and have at it.
pretty much 500k and then go back to re load the old frag cannon. Unless some one gets a lucky shot on your cannopy the only reason to leave is because you ran out of ammo. its just red vs blue (technically speaking) don't have to worry about wings. and theres always as many of your team as there is of theirs.

i do realize that you are more allong the lines of "some deaths whould always be perma death restart"
but i do think a lot of people would start screaming about that.

i actually came on the forum now to see if there is any combat zones that also incorporate PP undermining (although i dont think there will be)

I've never been killed in PvE in my FDL, which is a very safe ship. I've spent virtually all my time (something kike 800 hours) RES farming with it and earned about 1.8 billion with it. There's no reason to be killed unless you're extremely unlucky. As soon as you start taking hull damage, you can run off the field until your shields come back. I've had wings of three clippers, a wing of 2 FGSs and an FSA and other things like that after me, but as soon as I realise I'm in a battle that I can't win, I scoot and come back when they're gone. I'm not a good pilot, but maybe a sensible one. There was one time I got back with 14% hull and no canopy, when I lost my shields in a difficult battle, so I decided to turn and run - straight into a rock in the dark.
