I used to do it just for pod squish but there is no more pod squish.

If I can catch the pod, why not? That's like asking if I want cheese on my nachos.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

You forgot the "IRL" specifier.

A couple months ago during the Fall of Delve I was in a big battle with about 1600+ in local and 10% Time Dilation©

My ship died, I forget why and usually I would self destruct myself and reship. The 2 minute self destruct takes about 20 minutes in heavy Tidi. It was suggested that we jump out to a different system to self destruct faster.

The enemy had a blops gang on the otherside of our out gate and were holding pods, webbed and scrammed. So they couldn't get to 'faster' systems to self destruct. That seemed like the longest 20 minutes of my life because I wanted to get back in that fight really bad.

Personally, I couldn't be assed to try and do something like that, the faster you reship, the faster you can lose that ship again. If I see a pod, I shoot it, out of plain and simple spite. Smile

It's more fun when you do it to someone who's defenseless.

Even a pod can act as a warpin or give intel to someone. Remove it from the equation.

Because nothing says "Begone insignificant one" like popping a pod and seeing them dissappear out of local.

...because there's a good chance their clone is at least a few more jumps away, which gives you a bit more time to get all the phat lewt before they come back.

In a game where nearly all wealth is player controlled, it is easy to defend the idea that reducing my enemies' wealth increases mine in a relative way.

If I could burn all of everyone's assets, my Stabber would make me the king of space.
