EVE General Discussion

Killing pods in a so often not mutual consented pvp and you call them cowards? Now they should fit for you to be satisfied when forcing an unwanted combat? Haha I see.

I believe your question has been answered in the first two posts; you're now trying to convince a disagreeing public, and are getting heckled.

CCP has removed drone grades, thereby reducing the penalty of losing your pod by quite a bit. A pod without implants loses nothing, and implants are a choice.

Personally I'd make the system even less confusing: when your SHIP explodes, you wake up in the medical bay.

No more mumbo jumbo about a 3 meter pod having a full rocket engine inside (for movement), a full warp drive (for warping), a full autopilot system (for getting across the galaxy), a rather large computer system for scanning ALL your neurons in a millisecond to "save" you, and a communications array with enough bandwidth to send all that data to your medical station, again within a couple seconds. A full-fledged life support system (including oxygen, water, temperature control, and waste reprocessing), a graphics processing system for interfacing with the external cameras, armor and shields similar to a ship, a capacitor and energy system capable of powering everything indefinitely, an IFF identification beacon and running strobe lights, and so on the list keeps on going. It's rather ridiculous.

I agree with that and the pod can be the bonus premium but if your ship falls inside a warp bubble of whatever kind your pod has no chance at all and no bonus should be given that easy to anyone. The petition of a interdiction nullifyed pod instead does not come for free as using one of your slots that cannot be used for faster shot or anything else. That gives a choice.

In order to be fair you need to see things beyond your alignment, playing style or convenience.

only if its a slot 6 so you cant have an omega installed, but still you dont want to lose a shiney pod then dont fly a shiney pod where bubbles are ie nullsec, thats the risk.

its pretty obvious where this rant has come from, who even goes to nulsec with a bil pod? how long did you expect it to last?

Yes, actually with too many. You newbies dont remember when podding was seen as a bad practice among best players and rarely occurred. Anyway it would make no sense to ask fro things would perjudicate me, but the rule would affect everyone and I also kill pods.

Absolutely not. Eve is a game that has attracted people due to its risk. Take away the risk and slowly people start to not enjoy it.

While I lived in lowsec, I was not willing to go to null with a clone I wasnt willing to lose.
If you're willing to lose High grade slaves with 5% hardwirings, then cool.
If you arent willing to lose 12m in implants, then dont take that clone.

tl;dr: Dont travel to PVP areas with anything you aren't willing to lose.

Just give it a full 5 second align time after a full HG snake set or whatever the agility one is and I'd be alright with it. Nullification at a heavy align time cost.

problem is they can warp 100% of the time before even the fastest locking ship can tackle them. simply select a warpable object and spam warp before your ship blows up.
