So i been thinking, what is the use, or even why we even have pods in the game anymore?
With things like Instalocking ships, client server lag after ship gets blown up, smartie gate campers, bubbles and eve a statement from GM Homonoia
Quote:My only advise is: do not fly what you cannot afford to lose. If your ship gets caught, your pod is in dire straights as well. It may get out, but it may go squish all the same if your attackers are paying attention.
Stating your pod is toast anyway. So whats the point of the pod? Its like having a second ship that's going to die anyway..
Why do we even have pods in the game now then? They have no real purpose anymore... Ok there are times it will save you but meh if someone is out to specifically kill you they are fitted out to get your pod. Especially now the killmails have a certain kudos about them.
Also dont tell me its for your implants etc. It just an unnecessary expense now as its going to die anyway. |

I have no idea what you are talking about.
Jump clones make implant costs nullified.

Uh, as far as I'm aware the lag situation is just about as good as it's been in the 7 years I've been playing...
Also, there are plenty of situations your pod can get away, especially considering they 'instawarp' and all.
If you're complaining that you got caught in a 10v1 situation in a static bubbled gatecamp without intel or scouting, or that you lost your pod in a 500+ man raging inferno of a fleet battle, then too bad.
I have a feeling you got podded and felt the need to ***** on the forums a little. It's OK, it happens to all of us sometimes. |

Because without pods to take a perfect snapshot of our brains at the exact moment of death, every time our ship blew up we would be theoretically dead and would have no conscience to be transferred into our new and very stupid clone.

I have a feeling you are the dumbest troll i have ever seen. I have lost my pod hundreds of times. I have played eve for 8 years almost. Its totally irrelevant dumbass.
If you cant answer a simple question because your brain capacity cant handle the thought process then dont bother at all.. Silly trolls that post some typical silly comments

From a game mechanics point of view you still need a 'POD' as such, do you... You can just end up in a home station, after your ship gets blown up.
No one yet, can or has come up with a decent answer (expected) The only reason for an actual 'POD' is a killmail, so effectively its now become another ship.
To jump clone etc you dont actually need a 'POD' you could have a conscious implanted somewhere. |

I agree, when players die they should have their characters automatically biomassed and then they should have to create a whole new character before being able to play a game.
That's a real cold harsh universe you ******* pussies.

I think I've only lost my pod once, maybe twice in my entire Eve career.
You've lost yours hundreds of times??
I can only recall one specific time losing it to the Goons, and the only reason I lost it then was because I was just hypnotized by their smack talk during my destruction. I was too preoccupied reading several hundred messages about my lack of masculinity and pictures of male genitalia drawn with text in my local window.
It was awesome. |

Yes, why have a pod. Its only the single most important aspect of this space RP that makes the universe different from any other.
In fact, tomorrow they should release the patch that takes us back to Earth, because why should we let the dead EVE gate keep us here. |
