An idea to encourage PVP on a large scale - let players loot loaded skill injectors from pod kills.

I think this would be a great way to encourage pvp, as players would now have a real reason to go out and kill each other. And active players should be allowed to gain skills faster than passive pveers.

Actual SPs would vary. Pods from players with less than 5 million SP would grant nothing - no bonus for griefing nubs. After that, maybe 1% of the podded player's total SP.

I'm undecided whether the victim should lose the corresponding SP, but since players didnt seem to enjoy it when that used to happen before, its probably a bad idea.

Still, looting injectors from pod kills. I think that would be a good idea. And start massive fights.

But this could be farm without end with alts and corpmates no ? Maybe only pod with certain types of implants ? like the expensive ones ?

Or - more likely- It would have the exact opposite effect..

Why would CCP kill the goose that lays golden eggs by letting players farm skill injectors by killing each other?

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

CCP: Hey guys and gals, here's a new item you can buy with real money and convert into ISK.
OP: Hey, let's propose an idea to totally crash the injector market.

That would probably be a good reason for podded players to lose corresponding SP, to prevent this kind of farming.

'players would now have a real reason to go out and kill eachother'
You mean players would have a reason to duel their alts and farm them for free sp?

Glad you took more than five minutes to think about this idea...

I'm always a little impressed the way an F&I OP will fervently defend their horrible idea, even long after every other person in the thread has pointed out why the idea is completely unsalvageable.

Skill loss on death is a dead mechanic. If they ever get around to giving T3Cs a real balance pass, I'll be shocked if it survives even there. Your idea is bad, and has no chance of ever seeing implementation. Move on.

Supposedly it's happening after the capital balance. Could it be that at this time next year they will be balanced?


Or just underpowered jokes...

How would that encourage PVP at all? It'd just stop people going to nullsec, or taking fights they wouldn't be guaranteed to win.
