Oh hey, Ferox guy! What are the odds.

I live in wormhole space and will ALWAYS try to pod a pilot if the opportunity is available. The main reason has nothing to do with isk, implants or ransoms. It is purely as a means of denying the pilot access to our part of space for as long as possible.

Although I must admit that we do own a cargo container which is kept purely for frozen corpses.


I think wormhole dwellers have the most compelling reasons to pod people.



haha yeah its me, hope u have gotten some easier kills man ^^ taking on a ferox in a frig was indeed ballsy when the dude u where attacking had a negative sec standing

All my buddies - low sec pirates are trying to pod everybody whom they can.
Reason: EGO

There is nothing more satisfying that tell buddies in team speak: "we just landed him... and podded!". If there is no pod it looks like job is not done. Some people have tendency smack talk in local and once they caught, podding them with Raven's torpedoes is extremely satisfying. Yes, I know, it is rotten mentality, but it is the way of life in low sec.

It was not difficult to catch pod in low sec before, but with Incarna it very, very easy due to lagish GUI and server responses delays.
Don't listen to anybody saying that loosing pod is impossible in low sec. Even if you survived alfa hit, pre-aligned and rapidly hitting warp button like maniac, your chances to escape are slim in Incarna.

check this guys KB for low sec kills:

Look at this from the point of view of a playground bully. Do I want that little brat in the first form to give me his dinner money each week or do I want to give him a hell of a thrashng and humiliate him so much that he gives it me to once and he changes schools?

Back in the day most pirates never podded but rather ransomed pods. These days everyone has killboard fever. Its all about kill board stats and epeens.

The CSM XI Election are now open until March 25th, 2016. Consider Niko Lorenzio for CSM XI.
