POD killing in null:
-all the time, no drawbacks and sometimes nice tears to collect, however in null 99% of these dudes don't give a dam about pods, it's just a fast travel ticket rather than a real loss.
-30 sec timer for gate jump or dock but no sentry or station guns
-no security status hit

POD killing in low:
-all the time but you get a concord hit unless it's wardec targets, interesting for tears, very often those dudes use expensive implants because gate/station sentry makes some feel in relative safety.
Remember that you have 3 timers in low:

-30sec for jump/docking

-15min red (global)

-15min target corp/alliance/fleet aggression same timer than global (silly yeah but it's like that)

For this time, gate and station sentry WILL shoot you on sight. Also jumping from low to high sec during this time will trigger concord and you'll get killed. Wait untill timer is over before jumping back to high sec.

High sec:
-wardec targets and red pirate pods are free to kill pods with no consequence other than give kill rights

-every other pod you shoot will trigger Concord response and security status hit, however Concord will only kill your active ship and will keep doing it if you ever undock with a new ship until the 15min timer is over.

-the 30sec timer rule for gate jumping or station dock is the same

I've probably forgot some stuff but this is essentially the important stuff you must know

Thanks for this well written response. Some people here really have either no clue about the
mechanics, or about how to word things properly. Anyway, i have to add something.

Killing a pod that carries a GCC wlll only get the ship blown up,
but not give GCC to the podkiller.

Took me quite a few pods to realize why i sometimes didn't get GCC for podding somebody.
For some odd reason, he wasn't blinky ... which is kind of stupid.

Tbh, it's also idiotic to lose a ship when killing a GCC'd pod ...
i'm still waiting for that change to happen. :)

i'm fairly sure that not being able to kill GCC pods by virtue of being GCC alone is intentional fyi

When I've posted this I was assuming people would understand that in high sec everything that isn't in the post means you get killed by concord with following drawbacks yadayada.

Of course it's intentional. I didn't question that it's intentional ... I didn't argue that it's intentional ...
... it's just idiotic. Maybe i misunderstand you, but you "sound" a bit snotty.

I'd rather have people be able to kill pods of those that (try to) suicide them/somebody,
although those committing the suicide aren't flagged as outlaws.

They are criminals and people should be able to pod criminals without any form of punishment.

Yeah, like when people refuse to pod you because the 2 min timer becomes 20mins with TiDI. Come on, we're just gonna reship and come at you some more...

If you can get out of the tidi then yeah you'll get back a bit faster. But being podded is instant.

Nah, they'll pod unless they've been given specific orders.

And if it's in the middle of a fight, you don't want to be distracting blues by asking them to pod you back either..

you can pod anyone at any time, but there will be consequences. If someone ask, tell them to man the f*ck up and do it & quit asking stupid questions.

You can podkill anyone anywhere, there aren't any rules against podkilling people.

It's just if you podkill people in highsec and you aren't at war with them you get concorded and if you do it in lowsec you take a heavy sec status loss.

People don't understand the difference between the actual rules of the game and "crime" based gameplay apparently.

This is correct.
