When you go bankrupt

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

How about a Life Pod/Emergency Escape Component, Which is much Cheaper and smaller than a self-destruct?

If it is possible this component does not work in combat mode(?) and/or only works when the ship is 50%(?) damaged.

If this is feasible, it gives you a component that enables you to abandon crippled ships and doesn't have the cost or tonnage of a Self destruct device. It also cannot be used to deter boarding parties if it can be made not to work in combat.

I have yet to dabble in mods, but am continually amazed by what people have done.

Is this feasable?

You don't want a ship any more or can't afford it? Then you can: destroy it (SDD or fire on it), mothball it, scrap it (both requiring a shipyard), or send it on a suicide mission.

My reasoning: can I tell a crew to commit suicide? yes. Therefore can I tell them to crash their ship into a sun or do some other stupid things to commit suicide? I should! There you go. If I can't afford a ship, (never happened to me before but still...) I don't see why I can't choose which ship I want to keep.

The other thing is, if the game doesn't behave like what people expect, then challenging it will be, but no FUN! (A lot of frustration though)

[Suicide Junkie]

In tactical combat, you can give orders to ram a star, planet or wormhole. You still require movement, but your ship does explode and require no further maintenance...
In any case, you'd need engines to suicide your solo ship, otherwise you'd stay in orbit.

If you've got engines, you can fly into the nearest black hole or ship-damaging storm, but you could also just return home and get repaired/resupplied/scrapped.

Okay, but still there are times when I might want to stop sending the ship ANYTHING right there right now.
