Mine story. I like solo frig pvp in low sec I deployed next door to it and when i go on patrol 30 Jumps and die in fire save mine pod
i need to go back to staging system 30 jumps away its like 30 min at that point i self destruct to save time.

Is it posible to give egg like 20 AU warp speed ? in low sec only

And no im not whining about 20 mln i must pay to upgrade clone becouse trade isk for time is not good game mechanic anyway.
You pay or you fly 30 min for new ship.

Then how do you ever catch a pod?

I don't think he's on about the pod's agility, more that he wants the top speed in warp to be higher.

Which is all well and good but it won't shave as much time off your trip as you might be thinking it will. Having flown a leapord quite a bit, I can tell you that that fancy top speed only really helps when you have to cross egregiously long star systems (like the 100+ AU warps that seem common in Amarr space). In short systems, you never even reach the top speed. I don;t really think capsules need to warp any faster than they already do, and if they did, I'm not sure it would help much anyway.

Will I get banned for boxing!?!?!

It would be nice if it warped faster than a cruiser....

Considering everything else small warps faster.

Its also fair to say a Pod warps slower since it only has basic capabilities.

Its an escape pod after all.

Why wouldn't you just bring a hauler full of frigs out before starting to fight?

Or just buy a shuttle on the way back...

your warp speed also affects warp acceleration and deceleration. You don't need to have big system to benefit from leopard.

No. If you want to roam solo in losec (or anywhere really), you have to suffer the consequences of possibly traveling home in your pod, which is not supposed to be fast. Dock and get a free rookie ship, or buy a shuttle (which are almost as commonly available).

Show us on the doll where the ebil piwates touched you.

There is no benefit to having your pod outwarp covert operations frigates or interceptors. Interceptors are meant to do just that. Making a pod, which essentially is a lightly armored fishbowl with a rocket booster strapped to it outperform ships that are designed to arrive before another boat with the intent of violencing it would be both game breaking and ****tarded.

But then the rigged-cloacked-stabbed T3 would warp slower than pods and couldn't pass them in warp to smartbomb them on arrival.

But yea pods are so slow it's quite annoying, at least make the noob ships warp faster.

NO in general.

But here is the real question, why only in low sec when some players in high and many players in nul suffer from the same problems?

To me this is just another I want "my part" of EVE buffed but I do not care ho it affects anyone else in the game topics.
