Or you can just keep track of your Con...

You play with your character sheet opened all the time?

How are you getting your con to drop low enough your HP go negative? I've played barbs with blood tribute, I've played warlocks with Staunch and I've never manager to push my con low enough to die from this effect.

Getting knocked below 0 hp you lose rage so -4 con plus possible fatigue so -2 and if using Hardy Rage -3 and at least -1 from using Blood Tribute or more likely -2 or -3 and -2 for losing ship buff... it's a lot of loss. It's like when you die and port to ship and hit amenity bar and die again. It happens a lot as anyone who plays on hardcore knows from death messages. It has never happend to me but i understand exactly how it happens.

Don't have to. You know your character, you know your abilities, you need to keep track of timers. If you let your HP drop low enough so when your abilities drop your CON, then you die. Same as any character not keeping track of their HP and dying.

I would leave it as is. Con 0 doesn't kill you. Its the combination of damage and Con reduction to reduce you overall (max) HP that kills you. It seems to be WAI. They could change the ship buff to not remove and reapply con bonus so that grabbing the buffs doesn't kill you. That seems reasonable.
Take the death as a reminder to invest to increase your consciousness range.

You have to be really close to death already, then the few lost HP put you over the line. Especially in public areas, where you cant fall unconscious.... 0 HP is immediately dead

I think I"ve had this happen once? Not nice, but I think Ahpuch's suggestions are on point.. And yeah... I need to work on this as well...

It was on an alt I play not so often. I dont know the limits so well as on my main.
It happened during fight. Wasnt raging.

Allowing unconsciousness in public areas would also be a reasonable request. Is there a reason to disallow it in public?

Wait, when was it changed that you can not go into Uncon range in public zones? Previous experience (not too long ago) suggested it was still possible (was testing fall damage at the time). Has this been changed or just I was not testing in the primary public zones?

I went into unconsciousness in public spaces 5 times last week (kept jumping off guild ship spire after releases on a new vet char without feather fall). It still happens.

Don't know. I just assumed Droid knew something I didn't. Now I feel the need to test it...

This used to happen that way, but it was changed subsequently because undead players could not benefit from extended Uncon ranges otherwise. Testing it just now shows Undead can go to Uncon range in Public too.

Just checked. You were not mistaken. You can still go incap in public areas.

There are a number of ways to increase unconsciousness range so that when your CON suddenly drops you likely will just go unconscious.
I think 0 CON used to mean instant death and 0 any other stat was the brief stun followed by unable to do much. Of course that was back when helpless meant autocrit.

SCOTUS just heard arguments like this and they are likely to rule that sleeping in public is illegal.
