Most multiplayer games have bugs.

I honestly wouldn't suggest perma death mode playing online.

Ive logged about 600 hours in nms. There have been many encounters where I was killed by weird bugs or something.

More than once I died while trying to fly a ship into my freighter or into the nexus or even a space station. It would get caught on something and then just sit there. Stuck. Taking damage until I died.

Very frustrating.

But these kind of things happen.

Perma death is a big risk.

I don't know if you are aware of the full scope of the main story and side missions that unlock your ability to use the star gate. To get all the cool gear.

That takes a hell of a long time to unlock.

Like. To complete all of the current quests , I would say probably 60 plus hours.

Just to unlock all the things.

Perma death.- I don't see the appeal for a game like this.

You so take a penalty with death as it is.

Maybe that should be enough motivation to not die. ?

I just personally wouldn't risk it but people play the game differently. And maybe it fits your gameplay more than it does mine.

I mostly just do the missions, expeditions, and like building stuff.

But you said already you are restoring old saves when you die.

So why are you even playing in perma death ? Like what is the value if you are just going to restore a save when you die. ?
