Some times I would like to just auto destruct my ship when I am caught moving stuff I shouldn't be where I shouldn't be. I don't really know how this would show up on kill mail but I would like to destroy everything VS having some of my stuff get looted.

2 Minutes is far to long.

Why should you be able to hide your incompetence?

How about a "scorched earth" low slot module that reduce your tank and prevent drops? A tank penalty akin to expanders because you pack the cargo hold with active explosive that will detonate on a hull breach?

Killmails are still generated if you SD, as long as someone did some damage to you. You cannot run from your mistakes. You cannot hide from the meta game. We will all know what you have been doing in space.
Forever.

That said an instant self-destruct module would be pretty funny. P.s CCPls remove insurance for self-destruct.

One solution is to fly with an escort with an extra freighter to scoop the disaster area.
I mean, even the Titanic could have used something like that, and they could afford it too!!!

I still want a jihad jeep option of rigging your ship with enough C4 to take out everything in radius. Carebears think code & miniluv are bad news now, imagine the tears proper suicide bombers would generate.

Just allow bombs in high sec, let the tears flow! X'D

You can just jettison your stuff and shoot the can.

Also denying other players a reward for catching you isn't good gameplay.

I would like industrials to have a tank.
Many of them are paper bags with nothing but a cargo space.

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

True, but not nearly as powerful as bombs. They would just warp away.

No, they don't need any more tank, your 'tank' is a 0 SP scout alt in a pod, its not too hard. Believe me, moving a Tayra through Syndicate pipes is a B*tch.

OP is a perfect example of why KBs will always create more risk aversion than high sec ever will.

Want more fights? Get rid of KBs.

KBs are worse for giving players a reason to go after easy kills.

The majority of the haulers can fit a good tank. Even the 4 that can be classified as paper bags can be fit to be 99% immune to gankers. They are very well balanced right now assuming you are not greedy and/or ignorant. If you are either, you should be punished.

This is the best method I heard of and read about in my 3 years + of gameplay.
And yes, that also includes the 4 more years before, back in 2008 and 2009 when I only played 1 piece of EVE Online music on my MSN site.

I didn't think there was any way to move there.

I built a t1 hauler for my alt the other day and just threw scrap from my hanger on to it as a tank. With no rigs it had 20k EHP in the fitting window.
