A request regarding tracking deaths in co-op

[migmadmarine]

Hey pat, would it be possible to make an option for co-op where it keeps track of how many times a pilot has been killed (or ought to have been killed/captured)? Currently, if we are playing full death, the host must create a new pilot each time someone is killed, which can be a pain for them, but it would be nice to keep track of the number of times someone ought to have died if playing with fatalities turned off.

It's possible, but I would need a better idea of where you wanted to go with this.  I can add a parameter to a record and increment it when I see a death in the logs, but then what?  Having a number buried in the campaign's JSON files isn't doing much for you.

I think the implimentation I'd like to see would be to have a death/capture category on the pilot board along side kills and missions flown (though I can understand why some playing in more hardcore ways might be bothered by having this in the main screen UI), or alternatively have a thing on the front page of the pilot journal that would track number of deaths/captures. Basically, what I'd like to see is a place to look in the UI to be able to easily work out someone's kill/death ratio, if we are not going through the steps of creating a new pilot each time someone is killed. 

Another alternative would be to have an option to re-set someones kill and flight count when their pilot survives being "killed", so that the campaign host doesn't have to generate a new pilot for them to continue on the next flight.
