[Punisher]

This thread is so long I've forgotten most of the posts from the beginning, but since I believe this idea was mentioned before I want to prop it. Make hospitalizations cost full energy. They should get the full time as should zerks. Both should cost full energy to do so. To increase the risk involved maybe after a number of hospitalizations have them more likely to be caught in combat. Decreasing times is pretty much ridiculous since a person losing will only be hurt more in actual combat rather than less. Since both zerks and hospos take full energy after a while they can get very expensive and without credit refills are already limited by the energy refresh factor. With refills, after 10 as you know the cost increases very significantly making most people think twice before hitting that button.

As said before, if someone wants another to be put in the hospital, it will most likely happen, whether it is by that individual, a friend, gang mate, or hired gun (loki excluded - from the first part of this statement ) . Limiting hits on one person doesnt sound like a good plan to me.
