They ' ve never confirmed any plans to do that at all as far as I know it ' s nothing but a rumour . <| sep |> Commit permadeath rather than let them take your ship ? When you die you lose a major chunk of credits , and that happens to everyone on your crew when you self destruction . I think scuttling will happen a lot less once death consequences are put in . <| sep |> I agree , nor it is the only extra cost once you ' ve put solicitor ' s fees , surveys , underwriting , mortgage advisers costs , conveyancing , valuations , arrangements and transfer fees on top , you ' re looking at another 35 grand on a 250 k house . You might be able to roll some of these costs into the mortgage but not all of them . Any potential buyers can get this information and more with a 5 minutes search on the internet . The whole housebuying procedure is a total money grabbing shit show let ' s not even mention that you ' ll end up paying back somewhere in the region of 380 k from a 250 k mortgage and needs a massive overhaul .
