Pod killers are one reason I won't sign an Organ Donor Card. (Just one of many reasons)...

Everyone is always repeating the mantra "Don't Trust Anyone" ad nauseum... If I can't trust the guys I play with, why bother playing with them at all? Fly Solo...

That's a crapton of bubbles!

I think the most I've seen when protecting a structure bash was like 15 bubbles, and even that was pretty much overkill.

The guy's pod is effectively dead already... but CCP forces you to go through a 32 second lock time to get his pod.

Waste of gameplay and really not helping anyone.

Suggestion: Have bubbles do "pulsating" damage to pods, so after 3 or 4 second they explode while in bubble, granting a kill mail to the folks who killed their ship.


Another alterantive would be to greatly increased the sig radius of pods, they are insanely small, 400m sigrad would solve the problem and not really affect the pod's survival much at all.

Finally, it takes lots of effort to anchor 60 bubbles on every gate you camp, and too much effort to take it down every time.

I suggest buffing the T2 Large Disruption bubbles to cover the full 250km radius so one could cover the whole grid.



Terrible idea, I can only assume you have suffered some sort of tragic event that has forced you to make this post. I suggest you just adapt and move on. Maybe take an interceptor next time.

Here's what you do:

(1) Get on voice
(2) Shout "Hold the pod!"
(3) Your fleet mates will rep the pod up if it's already damaged
(4) You can jump half way across Eve to get to the pod, taking say, 48 minutes 25 seconds
(5) Arrive at the pod
(6) Point it
(7) ???
(8) You're on the KM!

Gate campers don't need any more of an advantage than they already have.

Done my time in null sec, now I'm just a Privateer wandering around High and Low Sec.

Best option: Have mechanic in place when your gate camping that your damage is divided by both the number of bubles and the number of ships in fleet then divide that number by 10000 to get the final damage done.

Unless there is a killright on the pilot, or you are selling implants. Why bother killing the pods?

If my pilot is certain to face death... I want full ramming speed towards the enemy ship...

Because of the way it makes the other pilot feel, if I can make him feel loss, then I have done my part in the player driven community.

Null-Sec is all about losing, and making the ISK to cover your losses, if we don't extract as much ISK from potential enemies at all times we'll be effectively handing them ISK to buy blob fleets.

Nobody ever won a Sov war by handing their opponent a Nyx fleet.

GRRRRR! I'm a ******* Tyrranosaurus Rex. What do you mean I'm not good at killing a fly? GRRRR!

CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting off button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.
