1. When you self destruct your ship, everyone on grid gets a message about it, wtf? why should everyone know what im doing to my ship? bullshit

question regarding self destruct, if you self destruct before another player pops your ship does the player get a kill mail?

2. why no commas on the in game calculator? wtf?

for anyone who cares to respond to non important post,

You're safe. Nobody cared.

Pretty sure he does if he got a shot off, yes. I never self-destruct. Go down like a man dude! But really, nobody cares.

Nobody cares. (What's a calculator?)

1. Lots of people self destruct to avoid killmails, after all K:D... ...so I suppose having that on grid message might be there to inform other players that there is a coward attempting to avoid being killed.
2. CCP would prefer it if we used an out of game calculator? I don't know. Maybe the coding is a bit tricky.

Hello bitter guy wearing a hoodie. Nice to see you in this thread. Which of Christ's apostles was the most cynical?

1. because self-destruct is mainly used to deny a kill. So if you're shooting someone who cannot escape, and he engages self destruct, you know you have that time to kill him or you won't get the kill-mail. Also, if you spot a Goon freighter and you see that freighter is about to self-destruct, you get a fair warning to escape before the insuing ****-storm is created.

2. There are commas on the in-game calculator because EVE uses periods instead. So move your hand up a few inches. Why EVE uses periods instead? No idea... Why is the sky green?!

He does appear in a kill-mail but nobody posts it =) No idea who gets the mail when a ship SD but its not a player person.

I am waiting on CCP to allow trading of aurum between players. Still got enough accounts rolling to get a decent: Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. outfit.

1. T3 skill lose. Great ships for WH work due to low mass and strong flexible fitting options, but the hull/fittings cost should be enough of a penalty when you get popped. I so want to use them, but a 5 day lose of training on something I’ve already done and should be on something else is just plain costly

2. The Lycra mafia and their poor special awareness thinking bikes are as big as a car. I will continue to strive on the perfectly timed block past the parked car a la Tron. They only just surpass KAI owners

One of the reasons it will maybe never be tradeable... To prevent the farming of it.. and exploitation of the NEX store..

If you're under fire and low in hull, why doesn't the pod automatically emergency warp off when you eject?

Because like for so many other things, in the game, that should be, CCP are griefers.
