Multiple Accounts and Hardcore Server Mode

[BL1P]

I would like to offer up this suggestion.

Have the ability for players to buy Multiple accounts (New Cmdr Saves) from the store as a collection of packs.
The packs could be ranged from 2 New commanders upto say 10 New commanders and be priced as Frontier see fit.
When the player starts the game he gets to choose which one of the existing commanders to use or to start with one of the unused new commanders.

With this it would also be a perfect time to add Hardcore Server Mode, Which could be an official Private group which has no rebuy option. As a new mode in the start Menu.
Only New CMDR Saves can play on HardCore Mode or Existing HardCore CMDR saves.
No going from Normal to HardCore, to prevent griefing.
Instead of the rebuy option you would get an option to "Continue with this CMDR on the Non HardCore Modes as a rebuy" Yes or No.
Yes removes the Hardcore flag for that CMDR meaning they cant join the Hardcore Mode with that CMDR anymore.
No basically means reset that CMDR save. Stick a "Are you Sure" message there too


I think introducing those two features at the same time would be very good.

I like the idea of a permadeath server, but only if it has a time limit, so it'll periodically start from scratch. I'm not sure I like the multiple accounts. You can already do most things in elite without locking other things, I'm not 100% sure why you'd need others. But as long as there's no possible interaction, fund sharing, multilogging, it wouldn't really affect me so meh.
