Or add a small uncapturable base for each side into the other sides home areas. Can be kept flat, but not captured.
Another option is when you fly off the map it turns you around and points you back at the map so you fly right back on and can't fly around outside the map. (which seems to be a favorite for some)
If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.
That would be ok, I'd also be ok with an orbital death ray obliterating you.
Or just engine failure.If you get turned back around into the game area before crashing, you could restart successfully.
I just think it'd be funnier to see a white line coming from the sky, then a pulse comes down it and a loud "GZORTCH" sound is heard throughout the arena. With 3 "So-and-so was killed by HT's orbiting space laser." messages.
Or the Claw.

From that flying saucer HT had flying around one time.
