Once zero has been reached you are dead, the nanites are there to repair the dead cells/tissue/armor it doesnt prevent your death, nor does it erase the past The health bars represent shields and armor, so no, you're not dead. You're mortally wounded, but not dead. |

Your performance would be conveyed just as well if there was a separate counter to keep track of how many times you were downed. It simply doesn't make sense that being downed counts as a death. Also, the way the death statistic currently works makes it difficult to calculate ISK efficiency. |

If you get dropped by an enemy, that is recorded as the fact that YOU lost a fight. If you take that away, how are corps supposed to grade you? This wouldn't be a problem if a statistic was added to keep track of how many times you were downed. For example, there could be a kill/knockout ratio in addition to the kill/death ratio, and recruiters could find these by scouring the leaderboards or looking up a player's profile.
The current kill/death ratio is misleading because it doesn't tell you how many clones you lost, and it shouldn't be that way. There is a similar problem with kills: you can't tell how many clones have been terminated by each player. |
