It would make the multiplay anarchy much more energetic. We already have the limits that limit how much you can HOLD. Plus those that die would have a chance to move up to a reasonable attack level. More then once ive become discouraged because there is one person who is packed to the brim and slaughters everyone and you cant get new weapons quick enough. ALSO maybe powerups that increase the capacity of the ship??? Time based? So if the time runs out the extra's are dropped?? Or maybe just till you blow up?
