EVE General Discussion

that's the very essence of the problem, that the pod is included

it doesn't make sense because an alpha clone character is wayyyy more fun just because you know you can fund ships all day long and die without worrying about getting hit with a 21 million ISK tax

I have -WAY- more fun traveling with my covops cyno character than -anything- else. you don't see the problem with this huge lack of fun with a fully skilled character?

there is literally no fun way to frigate. are you just always bad with your ISK? do you even skill or undock? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, so please tell me how you make it work for you:

-don't undock
-don't skill
-skill and undock and have spent X amount of ISK on med clones to do it
-only undock in ships that are way more expensive than the pod to care
-undock but avoid PVP at all costs

do you even play, broski

here's another thing... the presentation at EVE Vegas said the ISK sink was 4% of total ISK sinks. how far do you want to bet now that suicide travel -won't happen- because it doesn't work, the med clone sink will drop to more like 2% or 1%.

and in that case, the sink only affects people who play. so basically, med clones are an undock tax that players in their right mind have no choice but to pay. a robbery at gunpoint.

you want to undock? you should pay us to protect your SP. it would be a shame if something bad happened to it.

this is the litmus test of whether it belongs in the sandbox: another player will never see the transaction for med clones because it goes straight to CCP, and it affects no one else but you. bro, that's a subscription.

Cannot see these costs being a huge issue except for regular suicide gankers like CODE people.

if your going to suicide gank your targets are pathetic anyway so do it in a cheap low SP toon. That way you can just underinsure it and work the 5% loss backup in a few days or so anyway.

the SP subscription fee should be accompanied by an undocking fee.

Back about... 2 years ago, we had a uni that went out to Jita and did nothing but pop and pod gankers. They harvested a HUGE amount of outrage and had mass quotes of ticked off gankers for them getting lossmails and getting podded (they did this in an interceptor).

The point being: Suicide gankers don't get podded. They lose ships to CONCORD.

Such a change would not effect them.

Considering CCP is finally making the real changes that need to happen (see Phoebe travel), I am very optimistic. Everyone knows my position on this subject. Will it be too revealing if for you to tell me if I will be happy or not?

Replacement medical clones should be added to the killmail imo1

I'm bad with days. :(

I used a mega, two guardians, and a damnation to clear gate rats yesterday. is everyone's ego satisfied now?

do you plan to read the thread now that you posted, or

Isk sinks are fine, isk sinks that are punitive to specific player types (WH/null/and the heros of my heart, dictor pilots specifically) are just bad.
