Put a 60s weapons timer on people who go suspect. People shouldn't be able to scoop somebody's loot and then dock up with zero risk.

Edit: You could call the timer something other than weapons timer and have it do the same thing, since some people are having a hard time with the name.

Edit: This guy pretty much says it all.

My sentiments exactly.

I have been thinking about posting this since before I joined marmite, and I have only just recently joined. I have actually never lost any valuable loot myself this way, I just think it's dumb that there is 0 risk for them stealing stuff. I'm guessing you guys aren't going to take this seriously though because you don't like marmite.

Ok, well try not to think about the station campers for a minute then. Think about the 2 guys dueling on the undock. Just two people brawling in t1 cruisers, no links or neutral reps, just as fair as it can get. One of the guys wins with just %5 structure. Then some guy undocks in a badger, loots the wreck and docks back up before anybody can do anything. Thats the kind of people i want you to think about when you consider this.

Or I could consider the far more likely situation of station campers and people who want to alpha suicide gank industrials off the undock.

I give as much weight to your demands for weapon timers on people who loot your wrecks as I give the demands of mission runners who call for not letting anyone loot or ninja salvage their wrecks, or the highsec carebears who demand that they be exempt from wardecs or that wardecs be made 1 Bil isk base fees, or miners who demand suspect timers for bumpers.

Suck it up and deal with it.

Right, so it seems most of you guys acknowledge that there is a problem, but just just don't want it fixed. I'm guessing it's because you like people taking station campers loot?

So, the OP wants people to get a weapons timer for an action involving the use of no weapons?

What's next? Jump fatigue when not jumping? Or random booster side-effects without using boosters?

Do I need to explain to you why all of these are horrible ideas?



Learn to scoop yer loot and you won't have this problem.


tl;dr: HTFU.


EDIT: And I say this having recently flown with the OP on a POS Busting mission.

So that neutral repping nestor parked in the middle of the station isn't a problem? Or the bands of logi cruisers that rep a station baiter that actually bit off more than he could chew aren't problems? As soon as you think about aggressing a neutral rep on a station they already know they can dock anytime they want. So they take a couple hits while in shields, then dock up to prevent dmg, then undock again with full shields and keep on going.

Not sure if there should really be a timer just for going suspect but there should definitely be an inheritance of a weapons timer for repping someone with a weapons timer.

The only situation I can think of for being suspect having a timer is keeping the station baiters from undocking in something shiney and tanky, getting shot at, then either re-docking immediately or once they have a soft enough target they use their Orca or Bowhead to immediately change to a high dps facemelt Vindicator and demolish the poor sap that was until 2 seconds ago engaging a regular Omen.

I see no reason for this proposal. The loss of loot in this context is a natural and very minor consequence of that most pointless of activities, station games.
