Player Features and Ideas Discussion

CONCORD doesn't take kindly to it.

Therefore not only does the ganker get podded, but CONCORD will also execute a random clone of the high-sec pod ganker.

It could be an implantless jump clone, or it could be your fully max-fitted primary clone. You never know, but in any case you'll want to max-out your jump clone installations.

And they're going to get my clones in deep nullsec, in a station owned by my alliance, by...?

And this is needed because...?

And this is balanced because...?

And this is, in any way, a positive change for the game because...?

How about...

"Players should be responsible for dealing *extra* punishments against other players... not rely on NPCs to do a job they don't want to put effort into."


Also...

- clones don't cost money anymore. Podding suicide gankers won't affect them.

- NPCs destroying a player's random clone somewhere in the game is FAR too much of an overreach. Even players can't do that to each other in 0.0 space (where players can own stations).

- I suspect the OP is an alt of this guy here.

Ha ha. Ha. Ha. No.

If I can get my pod out of a fight on Brave newbies home station in Null sec, you can get your pod out of a gank in high sec. If I can burn my -security status self across high sec and not get ganked along the way, you can get your pod out. Pick a celestial and spam warp.


The 'Police' are there to Enforce the law, not exact vengeance. The 'Law' is you shoot someone in high sec, you get your ship destroyed. Concord fulfills this role. It's not up to them to carry out your vengeance. That's your job.

Agreed - except for one point, which is CONCORD was introduced with this purpose in mind, else they would not have been introduced, no? (not arguing whether it's "acceptable" they were introduced, but the role of CONCORD in hisec) That said, if they're going to do the job- albeit with conditions (as I stated previously, it would be dependent on the severity of the "crime") they should be doing the job entirely. Unsure whether it's the best solution, because likely game mechanics would need to be changed drastically (CONCORD does not currently destroy pods, for example in ANY case)

Money cost is irrelevant to the pod cost itself- but implants are still a viable argument here. If you spent money on implants for increased training time reductions, it's an investment. The only reason this would even be an issue is if the ganker is also wearing implants when they're out "hunting", yes?

Agreed with the "overreach" as well, it should be limited to the current engagement of CONCORD with the ganker in question- and they should have the same ability to evade said engagement as they would any other against a player (such as warping to another location once ship is destroyed) I don't under ANY circumstances think they should just be able to destroy a pod outside of the engagement area.

No idea on OP alt status, etc. I think anyone can only speculate.

I think the OP is referring to people specifically ganking pods, and not destroying the pod after a gank. It happened to me once, but it was just an empty clone. I know its happened to other people, especially on traffic controlled gates.

Which, if that's the case, I just say get something that provides a LITTLE more protection than a tritanium bubble filled with goo. Get an Assault Frigate and use that to fly from place to place. Still fast, provides better protection for your capsule, and not a lot of gankers care enough to bother with every AF that passes their way, so long as you're not autopiloting.

Which, if you're autopiloting in your capsule... You get what you deserve.

No the op says ganker gets podded and concord executes a random clone

As much as I would love to see the tears of the gankers in local, I'm going to have to disagree.

my ONLY issue with this is, im pretty damn sure the EMPIRES own those cloning facilities, and dont take too kindly to CONCORD overstepping boundaries. whats in space is in space, but once you start trouncing about in stations your under someone else's rules

And yet you can still and all ways will be able to b attacked anywhere for any reason by anyone, with no warning. I think the system is still working just as well as it used to.

Edit: No to the OP don't fly in a pod if you don't want to get podded.
