What I would like is a Kamikaze module to "self destruct". Yes I know you can SD (self destruct) now. But what I would like is 90% or more guarantee that all of the ship, its modules, and cargo is gone. Also, maybe a 5 second timer other than a 2 min timer. Your running stuff from point A to B and jumped, you know and they know your tank will be gone in lets say 1 to 3 min. You SD they (the gankers) know its time to get ready to lock down the pod. This way you can choose when you want to go. Or if it just bothers you feeding pirates, deny them the kill and spoils. Make it a relatively expensive module and once activated there is no way out of it.......kaaaa booooom. A cool side effect would be if there were some splash damage, think of the fun 10 t1 firgs all equipped with the Kamikaze mod could be fun.

No. Self Destruct is already balanced as-is.

Or I will quote you and post on every thread on the forums, it doesn't matter what the subject is.

Self destruct is fine as is. Get a scout...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Well try looking into this from the other player's view. When somebody attacks you, they risk their ships and they want profit from such a risk (I know there are always some jerks who do this just to see you cry). If you would have a more or less instant loot denial tool, lot of small scale pvp will end. Use a scout, dont fly over-expensive ships/modules, use stealth, use transport contracts. From real - if there is a valuable convoy, it always have a numerous escort - organize this as a corp op. You have a lot of tools to your disposal. Just need to learn how to use them efectively.

CCP really please dont use Upgraded, Limited, Experimental and Prototype in item names. It sounds like the item is actually worse than basic meta 1 item. Use Calibrated, Enhanced, Optimized and Upgraded. Its really easy to understand that the item is better than meta 1 and its also in alphabetic order.
