Not like I said 'it can't' though...

Do you really think such things wouldn't end being mandatory for battles? Just like all the drugs and stuff which are "forced" on the players if they wan to compete with others.

In this case death is bad enough punishment. Being killed while mining is pretty punishing already. What's not punished enough is dying after bluesuit proxyscouting, killing yourself to proxytaxi your pals, stealing, suicidebursting and such.

Probably only the weaponskill, doc and fa books.

Those books could give you boost to non-combat skills.

Yup. But it's already bad enough. Or do you really enjoy having to gather so much stuff (aquire items through farming, buying, crafting, whatever) before you can actually engage in a competetive fight and might lose it in a glimpse of a second? I don't know how it is for you, but I don't want some additional thing I need to take care of before engaging combat.

I know, I know, but somehow it feels artificial.. Now there aren't only drugs, no I "need" to craft/farm/buy books aswell if I want to compete with others who will produce/get them anyway through mass producing/buying? It's just an additional hassle, IMO this is not the way this issue should be solved.

If it's only non combat skills, explain me how it makes sense to "compete" with the others about your repair skill. And in a RPG allowing a wide range of combat technology, the richest will obviously always have an advantage.
