When your ship is blown up, it will go into deep stasis. The image below on the left is in deep stasis. You will eject out of the ship as an escape pod (if you purchased and equipped one), or as a spirit. More on those two later. Your ship will remain in deep stasis until the shields fully recharge or in five minutes, whichever is shorter.
Now your ship enters light stasis. The image below on the right is light stasis. Your ship can now be reclaimed. To reclaim your ship, simply fly over it with an escape pod or your spirit. Beware that whatever killed you, if still in your sector may try to kill you again when you jump back into your ship!
Also upon entering deep stasis, your ship will drop any unequiped items and possibly other items. Equipped shields, engines, and energy sources will never be lost. Items with a tech level higher than your ship's hull have a greater chance of coming loose. There are expensive items available to help protect valuable rare gear aboard your ship.

If your ship does not have an escape pod, or your escape pod is destroyed, you will come out as a spirit. When you go into a spirit, you will accumulated an experience debt (death debt). The debt is equal to one level of experience. You must climb out of debt before you can resume levelling and gaining skill points. There is a maximum debt that you can carry. Anything past the maximum is ignored. Additionally, you will drop half of your credits. Using an escape pod is highly recommended. Only players above level 5 will incur the death debt penalty.
