If you have the time to do that, your opponents did something very wrong and deserve the loss of a shinier kill-mail.

this.....

pod lock and pop is no time at all compared to pulling a set of implants. Especially with the target trying to spam warp out at the same time until scrammed. WHoever fast locked for the scram should be pressing f1 and finishing this quickly.

Sounds like op's crew is doing the ole hey everyone run a train on the mail thing (which is why imo isk efficiency one of the most useless stats in eve....its easily padded to be of no true value).

If they'd just pop the pod this a non issue. Waiting for the slow ass targetter not sebo scan res'd....there goes the juicier km. Solution there real simple, tell the slow targetter to run sebo scan res'd, train elec. skills, or just tell him he is SOL and pop the pod.

I just had some PVP action on my alt.
She had 5 +4s in and she was in a catalyst so easy target.
I started yanking implants when i was in a bubble so that the killmail purposefully would show an empty clone.
got podded, showed an empty pod on the mail, and i feel like i won the isk war.
took me about 5 seconds to unplug it all and i feel slightly dirty for skewing the killmails out of that fight.

Stats... lol

Clearly pods should not have killmails. Suddenly it goes from the statistic whoring and moves on to something more personal..

Who cares,,, sounds super tryhard. and a wast of dev time.

the isk war is won (edit: for the person who popped you) if you can't keep up replacing stuff chief.....not a stat on a killboard.



Example:

Goons vs Test.


Goons broke test's wallet. They could not run FRP/SRP well and as individuals many could not keep up personal replacements. towards the end test could not man fleets full strength due to lack of isk. This an isk war win.


Now lets have you decide to hunt down I don't know, lets say chribba. Your goal in life is to pop him every chance you can get. If you kill him 3 times a week with 1 bil implant sets....you still aren't winning an isk war with him. He probably makes this on just a few mommy 3rd party holding transactions. Amongst his other ventures. YOu see...you made him lose 3 bil in one week. He made say 6. he is still positive isk flow and you haven't even chipped away at his wallet.

really is it that hard for you to kill a pod ?

I fail to see the problem here. considering one volley from any ship will destroy a capsule, the only time you would destroy your implants is when you have been tackled, but your aggressors are holding off on destroying you. In which case, they are giving you time to mitigate your killmail value.

The onus should be on the attacker of whether to stall the kill, and lose implants on the mail, or to just kill you right away and get them.

No fix needed.

I have always laughed at the very notion of reducing the value of the kill mail. Implant unplug being the less daft of the two cases i've encountered, jettisoning cargo being the worse.

As far as implants are concerned, I mean, how does it matter? You have lost the set, the opponent has won. Whether you deny him the intel / bragging rights, you've still lost. Or if you are the one who caught that pod - your opponent isn't keeping all those implants hidden somewhere. They're gone!

The extreme case is the cargo jettison, where you allow every single item to go reliably in the hands of your opponent just so it doesn't show up on your kill board.

Now, comparing this to bailing out of strategic cruisers has no ground to step on. You can't bail out of a ship as a consequence of people using that to avoid skill loss - an intended balance feature of strategic cruisers.

So, think about it! Cant you just accept that you've won?

Lat them remove their implants, they will not hide it from themselves.
