EVE General Discussion

Hello

Self-destruction, sometimes useful thing, but not during a fight!

Needs to be changed to stop the paranoia that exists in EVE, where the fleet carriers or dreds, doing self-destruction and the KB is perhaps 1-2 ships, but in fact fell in 10 times as much.

In most cases, when a small gang, attack carriers or dreads it ends in self-destruction, because in 2 minutes are not able to kill him.

This spoils the statistics KB, but also causes doubt in the sense of the game among players.

My proposals for changes:

When the vessel is lock target, or in a bubble, it is not possible to attach self-destruction.
If self-destruction was included earlier, in the meantime, the ship will be lock target or in a bubble, self-destruction turns off.

Significantly improved by all the fun.

Another option is when the ship will receive some DMG and it will activate the self-destruction is the killboard (auto api)

CCP what you say?

Ps. sorry for my English

People actually use the self destruct feature so they don't appear on a killboard? That's kind of pathetic, really

Did you get loot?

Did you get a wreck?

Just screenshot the fight, save it and quit whining.

You care way, way too much about killboards is the issue, not self-destructing.

It's another form of PvP OP, stop whimpering you lost.

Can´t wait to be stuck somewhere until dt because they wont kill my pod and I can´t self destruct.

I don't think anyone wants self destructs removed entirely, however two minute SDs for both rifters and wyverns makes little sense. SD timers should scale with ship size.

The fact that fights don't happen because people just self destruct is kind of sad, plus it just encourages blobbing. I know quite a few people who have just hit self destruct instead of crying for help or trying to get people to save them. I mean its just a carrier, you can grind out the ISK for a replacement in under a day, there is no real reason not to self destruct.

No I think CCP should improve self destruct and make it an actual tactic.
Self destruct should do damage to ships around it like a smart bomb except a lot bigger depending on the ship size.

I could care less if it is on a kill mail but if people want it I don't see any reason why not.

But definitely make a self destruct an actual tactic if need be.

Self destructing is a tactical choice and should not be removed or result in a kill mail. Being able to destroy your ship to deny your enemy loot, salvage, and killmail/intel is a valid tactic.

the only change that i could understand is the length of timer based on the size of the ship. also, the message that all players on grid see when one initiates self destruct should be removed and damage should be dealt to any other ship near an explosion from self destruct or combat.

Edit: remove insurance pay out as well
