Ah, hello number 661. You've got a long way to go.


Let's get down to podding, to defeat the carebears!

Generally speaking, it's bizarre that standard lowsec gameplay (shooting stuff) has a near-zero effect on your lowsec experience (except fairly rare gate/station crimewatch mechanic games), but instead has a huge effect on your highsec experience.

Not that lowseccers care much about highsec, but please remind me why facpo discouraging them from occasionally roaming through highsec is good game design?

^-- this, cause lol sec status. It does....what? Make you blinky...egad, now you are KOS to other players in high sec but those same blinky -10 dudes where going to shoot them anyway so it goes either way. NPC and gate guns....align faster to escape, swear that glaciers move faster....CONCORD don't give a sh*t, CCP didn't institute lock out/tax penalty. It does....nothing. Calling OP troll for attention, cause podding is an option for killboard padding and erection length measurement, you don't actually have to pod people.

Clone tags allow you to buy back your security status, so it's never been easier to return to high sec than it is now. If you don't want the sec status hit, no one is forcing you to shoot at pods in empire.

disco a bunch of pods in jita I went from +5 to -10 in about 10 seconds Twisted


Yet 1 podkill in a .4 (lowsec) will take you from positive sec status to like -3.6 boom 1 second

Seems OP

Clone/med costs GONE
Skillpoint loss. GONE
Npcs podding players. HERE

Crimewatch even allowed the legal aggression of pods after fights a couple years ago

Time to rebalance the harsh podkill laws?


No.

Most 0.4s border high sec, the entry points for newbros and first-time lowseccers. One of the reasons many lowsec areas such as Khanid are so dead and empty is because people like to gatecamp those entry points, despite the penalties already, for easy killboard padding.

How about you balls up like a real lowseccer and go -10? No real lowseccer needs that sec status anyway, and then you can stop begging on the forums for cheaper kills with less penalties, because you won't care about the penalties anymore.

You do realize that eveboard has a hair less than 1% of all characters on it, right? ;)

I'd be the 39th richest person in EVE by wallet balance if eveboard were anything to go by, but I doubt I'm even in the top 1000. :)

Probably more like "hello number 15,432".

So with skillpoint lose gone and medical cost gone, and npcs starting to pod people even in highsec, Why is there still such a Super Atomic Massive Negative securtiy penatly hit for podding?

Even in lowsec.....?

Now if you commit criminal agression, you lose secstatus, makes sense
It is also relative to the systems sec status (ie you gank a venture in a 1.0 you lose more secStatus then if you did the same in a .5)
Also makes sense...


Yet in LOWSEC in a .4 system, if you pod someone, your sec status is NUKED!
Shouldnt podding in a .1-.4 be the same rate? Also way less than current?

Why is this like this still after all the changes to take away podloss negatives/loss/risk?






There was a time when -10 was something folks ran around as a badge of job well done.

Now days I see more and more whine on "hey why consequences"

Lowsec is Empire space, so yeah it should have the same security hit formula as the rest of Empire space (including the highsec bits). Lowsec's entire uniqueness is that it isn't lawless space, it's just Empire space with no CONCORD response.

You want a place where security doesn't matter? That's out in nullsec, which is not Empire space.

If you fly logi boats, getting too low can be a major pain in the butt especially in frigs where your fleet won't be able to hold against the potential gate guns if they try to help you because you were a random target. It all depends what you are doing/looking for.

Lowsec doesn't mean that it's lawless space. Of course your sec status get's nuked when you commit murder in empire space.


It aint bad in a .1, but .4 is too severe sec hit.

It should round .4 DOWN!!

1 podkill in a .4 shouldn't make u like a -3.7 right off bat. Its lowsec for gods sakee


How is this even logical?
If it's a poding in low sec it's a poding in low sec regardsless of arbitrary numbers on systems sec indicator.

yeah no penalties for kills that wont increase ganking at all.
While we are at it lets make it so when you die or kill someone they don't lose a ship and only a percentage for gear.

personally I see killing the ship as more of an evil ... the pod is free, implants easy to refit and acquire, plus it give you a free ride back to your base to get the next ship ...

Podding is so not evil at all.


(it used to be a little more evil when there were clones, and you actually lost skill points ifyour were cheap enough to not update your clone, ... but now, pods are pointless and worthless. Might as well get rid of them.
