If someone actually uses up another player's last life, and a bounty hunter captures them and brings them to justice, could they have to pay reparations to the victim's next of kin out of their own UEC?

I guess the only thing I'll say is that if you get captured, we're talking about having a mechanic where you'll either have to bribe your way out or you're going to have to escape from a space prison. It will be sort of like a mini FPS level. So I guess you kind of already have the payment part of it. The only thing is it's not really paying it to the next of kin. It's going to the state right now.

Well, if you're going to model it on the real world, it always goes to the state. That's basically what happens.
