yeah hi i was wondering wether eject or self destruct could be removed as although ive heard pirates like to web and scramble you and force you to eject so they can take your ship but whats the point of self destruct i think it needs to be removed from the game or atleast add a pincode that some other games have for logging into a character but to make sure you dont accidently blow up your ship or eject while rightclicking your ship to stop or orbit or somethin the pincode could be a way of atleast stopping you from doing something stupid as i get the temptation to click it which makes me avoid getting anything big and/or expensive although its not a big issue for some it would still be nice for those that get an itchy finger for doing something stupid like the ocasional drunk player

I think it needs to be removed from the game or at least add a pincode that some other games have for logging into a character. but to make sure you don't accidentally blow up your ship or eject while right clicking your ship to stop or orbit or something.
the pincode could be a way of at least stopping you from doing something stupid, as I get the temptation to click it which makes me avoid getting anything big and/or expensive. although its not a big issue for some it would still be nice for those that get an itchy finger for doing something stupid like the occasional drunk player.

FYP as best I could.
and I don't really see the reason for self destruct either, other than maybe something for the few RPers out there. no need for the pin, just make sure there is some form of conformation box there. a pin number would not save your ship from drunkenness, it would just get in the way.

Or "someone" needs to sober up first, then the fat-finger problems disappear on their own.

And yes, self-destruct actually serves a purpose, regardless how much gankers and wannabe pirates whine that they won't get any killmail and loot just because they cannot operate under a given time limit.

thats about all I saw before my eyes crossed and I got a migraine from reading that novel length run on sentence.

And I was right, new week and another self destruct whine but including an eject complaint. BUT!!! There is a request of "Are you sure? {yes] {no}" *OP slaps no* followed by a second request "Small manhood ? {Yes} {Affirmitive} "and bob is your uncle as to complaining unecessarily for no reason other then to hear your own voice (in the sense of typing and hitting post is the same as enjoying your own voice when you b*tch about something).

You got 2 minutes to kill it, its not like its deep into structure with no idea what was going to happen and suddenly local fills right after a pretty explosion with "OMG YOU F[censored!] A[censored!]! FIGHT ME! IF YOU DON'T I AM GOING TO F[censored!] YOUR GIRLFRIEND IN THE [censored!]OOPER WHILE SHE SCREAMS MY NAME YOU B[censored!]" Its not like the ship got away to fight another day Roll, prior to it you had 15 minutes where it wasn't destroyed so the end result is either by your guns or the person's own hand the ship goes POOF!!! (and in the comming months, more cap ships will be going POOF!). Forget the KM you so want or think the person should have to show his shame (lol pride and shame, in a video game FFS what is this real life Lol ?) as the ship is gone.

For everytime someone complains about self destruct, CCP has to kill a kitten and Hilmar swallows a large stein of beer. As you can see, up until 2 months before and just prior to Crucible Hilmar was pretty sober. With the recent flood of tears justification to make it more fair (lol fairness in EVE Lol) I can only say...

Hilmar! Leave him alone!

Kittens, nobody cares about them. But the poor drunk Viking makes us all a sad panda Sad

Ejecting has a valid purpose, especially in POSes. ESPECIALLY with capitals/supers in POSes.

Self D is also working as intended.

Before posting in Features and Ideas, please remember that Eve is in no way obligated to change based on your stupidity, ineptitude, or well honed sense of personal butthurt.

While I admit that self-destructing while drunk can be an issue, posting while drunk is obviously the bigger problem evidenced in this thread.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

This happens.

You're now trapped in a wormhole, with no blues, no probes and no way out. Good luck.
