I was thinking you know some people like me cant be bothered to wait 2 minutes for my pod to self destruct. I think it would be nice if instead of have to wait the 2 minutes you can click self destruct then it will give you a pop up saying something along the lines of "are you sure you want to self destruct?". then you click yes and then you blow up.

if you don't want to wait two minutes, just pod express through a gate camp.

You should be able to warp to the star at 0 meters to burn-up a naked pod.

Do you mean self-destruct as in death-cloning to another station? There's a station service for you that does exactly that. Or do you mean on grid in a fight? Well, you shouldn't be so selfish and deny other people a pod mail. They seem to be the most important thing in the world these days. Besides, when I am in a pod, I usually do not survive longer than a minute if the enemy is truly after us. For the other fights, you might want to use these 2 minutes and be useful by providing field information about stuff approaching your fleet that should be dealt with (dictors, ceptors, warp-in stuff, wrecks to destroy, etc.) or watch dscan if the FC asks for it.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Should be a 10-second timer with Aura counting down, and telling you to have a nice day at the end before exploding. New explosion sounds based off of ship size would also be epic.

It should just allow you to immediately self-destruct any time you aren't being targeted and don't have a weapons or combat timer.
