It's a perfectly legitimate, and widely used, mechanic. Fight fire with fire or get used to being burned.

If u see ur losing and align towards a warp out point. Mash warp so when ship blows up pod warps out. How high is the risk of losing ur implants then?



Smart bombs, lag and client/server glitches can all lead to lost pods in low sec, even assuming pilot does everything right.

Doing everything right is not as easy as it sounds either. Lets say you do spam warp out to a gate. Lets say you correctly know that won't be able to dock right away due to aggro so you bounce and then "warp to 0" on a gate or station. Well did you know "warp to 0" doesn't actually mean "warp to 0"? "Warp to 0" might mean "warp to 3k away". Then you have to travel for a second or 2 before you jump or dock and can easilly lose a pod to an instalocker.

That said after you learn how not to lose your pod I think pirate implants can be worth it if you do allot of solo and very small gang pvp in low sec. They aren't worth it if you blob.

For me the main difference between implants and links is the fact that links require you to multibox an alt. For me that ruins all the immersion and changes eve from a game to a chore.



QFT. When I PvP solo, I actually PvP solo.
