soldieroffortune 258 Gallente Imperium Forces	Posted - 2009.05.12 19:47:00 - [31] Originally by: EVIL SYNNs Pirate just do that, its their thing. Once they know their a pirate there is not much effect killing pods. Good pirates will ransom you, bad pirates will ransom you and pod you, anyone else likely will let your pod go. imho eh, back in my should we say not neccessarily pirate, but not nrds phase i would attempt to get pods any time, sure 9/10 of them got away but still i always tried, people are alot more willing to pay for their 1billion isk slave set than 200mil easily replaceable ship Sig removed, the file size image is 24000 bytes and it lacks EVE-related content - Mitnal
Pater Peccavi Minmatar Tribal Liberation Force	Posted - 2009.05.12 20:37:00 - [32] There was a time when I thought pod killing was stupid. I had forgotten to upgrade my clone, and ended up losing Minmatar Frigate V due to losing a pod in a fight. Then I remembered that my pod actually survived that fight. I had warped to a SS, but rather than going the long way home through 0.0, I decided to deathjump back home. After my pod self-destructed, I realized I forgot to upgrade it. tl;dr version: If I'm stupid enough to pod myself, you'd better believe I'm going to pod you This is a post. It says stuff.

Ularg Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2009.05.12 22:59:00 - [34] I've been podded in lowsec before, had a harbringer lock me in under a second (literally) even when I was spamming warp. ___________________________________ "There must be some way out of here..."
Scarabeus Sacer	Posted - 2009.05.12 23:00:00 - [35] Im kinda new to the game as well. Im still learning how things work, weapons, bonuses to stuff, ranges, ECM etc, so i have a bit before I go PK'ing. I have a few questions too which I would not mind having answered :) 1. What do people refer to as "warp spamming." I mean, spamming is hard with right clic, follow down to planets, hit warp to...is there some other way you can bind keys to warp to a preset target or safe spot fast and keep repeating it until a warp window opens up? 2. Someone earlier was saying its insanley hard to pod someone in low sec but not in null sec. What makes it hard to pod people? 3. What is the best way to prevent being podded if you see your ship is going down? 4. If you set autodestruct and eject, do you have enough time to warp anywhere before they lock on to you and scramble you? Much appreciated!

If you set autodestruct and eject, do you have enough time to warp anywhere before they lock on to you and scramble you? Much appreciated! 1. You can set up your overview to include all that stuff in the drop down list. With these things in your overview, you can click on one, giving you myriad options at the top of your overview, one of which is "Warp to." Assuming you're warp scrambled, you won't be able to warp. However, spamming the warp button makes it so that, when your ship blows up, your pod will instantly warp away. 2. In 0.0, warp bubbles can be used. If your ship blows up in one of these bubbles, you won't be able to escape by spamming the "Warp to" button. This problem doesn't exist in lowsec. 3. Assuming you're in lowsec or in 0.0 but not caught in a bubble, the warp spamming works wonders. If caught in a bubble, hope that your side has plenty of ships left, so that your pod can slowly works its way out of the bubble before someone decides to get an easy kill. 4. I've never ejected from a ship in combat, so I can't respond to this (though I'm pretty sure self-destruct cancels when you eject). Edit: Yes, I have still lost pods, mainly from sheer stupidity. My most recent loss, the station I was trying to warp to was 50km away from me This is a post. It says stuff.
Dasalt Istgut	Posted - 2009.05.13 08:35:00 - [38] Originally by: Elesentra Maybe there is a dumb obvious answer to this question, but I do wonder. What benefit is accrued from pod killing? It keeps noobs out of lowsec. I'm only two months into EVE, I'm training as much as I can, I have spent money on a set of +3 implants, and I don't yet have the faction for jump clones. My implants are worth more than my ship! I'd happily risk my ship in lowsec, but not my implants, so, I shan't go to lowsec yet. Killboard stats and the sound effect it makes.
Karelotta	Posted - 2009.05.13 09:15:00 - [39] Originally by: Merin Ryskin Simple: because they didn't pay the pod ransom. Don't want to die? Pay the ransom. The only time I was podkilled, there was no communication from the pirate whatsoever. No threats, no ransom notices, nothing.

Vaerah Vahrokha Minmatar Dark-Rising	Posted - 2009.05.13 10:01:00 - [41] Quote: 4. I've never ejected from a ship in combat, so I can't respond to this (though I'm pretty sure self-destruct cancels when you eject). Self destructing is a butt-long procedure. Expecially when lag bites the hardest, you should not even try to eject (it'll make your warp spam wait for the eject to be finished on the server side). Also, about being podded, the thread title is wrong. Even those who are not pirates and despite the security loss (low sec only), are often benefitting more off your death than letting you live: - You are still giving out intel. Expecially for 0.0, you shall not be let do that. - Nothing forbids you warping to a station and coming back in a WTFPWN-mobile, tilting the battle outcome in a sensible way. - In "claimed territory" systems, even in low sec, having "neutrals" is a no-go. Every and each neutral is automatically considered intel, danger, a possible "station-docking games" (ie merc / harasser paid to kill undocking ships of our corp). - You are a source of free local chat e-rage, some people feel better with some smack to relief the boredom. - You are a source of money, in case someone gives a f**k and asks for a ransom. No money => pop.

The only time I was podkilled, there was no communication from the pirate whatsoever. No threats, no ransom notices, nothing. I will look at a characters age, if they are too young to offer an decent amount of money then i will kill them without having a debate. Pirates will not hang around talking to you if there is no gain as every second risks their ship.

Pirates will not hang around talking to you if there is no gain as every second risks their ship. Which is why you ransom the ship, generally younger characters are more hurt by the loss of the ship than the pod. By the time you get to their pod, you might as well not even try to ransom. Regardless, there are so few pirates in EvE these days. It's either gate camps or some alliance with NBSI. Neither is piracy. Originally by: CCP Oveur The client handles no logic, it is simply a dumb terminal.
Drek Grapper Minmatar	Posted - 2009.05.13 17:30:00 - [45] Originally by: Vaerah Vahrokha Quote: My implants are worth more than my ship! I'd happily risk my ship in lowsec, but not my implants, so, I shan't go to lowsec yet Did you buy a BMW to learn to drive? No, eh? Expensive and you want to learn the ropes in a cheap used car and then upgrade to the best you can affort, right? So, why did you buy +3 implants before you learned to drive in low sec? Because once you learned the ropes, it's damn hard to be podded there, you REALLY have to be unlucky. You must have forgot that implants also increase your chars attributes which in turn leads to shorter skill training times.

My sec status goes lower faster And, you just have to accept that when you go into pvp, some day you will be podded.

My implants are worth more than my ship! I'd happily risk my ship in lowsec, but not my implants, so, I shan't go to lowsec yet. The Smell of BBQ POD drives me wild. The knowing that my Family will be eating POD. The thought that someone somewhere will have one less POD. Because I once had a bad POD day & so should you. I was miss treated as a young POD in my mother world. PODS are so cute I want to show them the light of regeneration. It takes skill to go POD fishing. I get paid for POD Kills I see dead pods THE 10 POD COMMANDMENTS: 1.Thou shall hunt the POD 2.Thou shall Torment the POD 3.Thou shall warp scram or disrupt the POD 4.Thou shall not let the POD go 5.Thou shall make POD wait for the moment of rebirth 6.Thou shall kill POD 7.Thou shall do it again & again 8.Thou shall post POD kill names to kill boards 9.Thou shall share POD kill with thou corp members. 10 Thou shall be showered in praise for POD kills by all Holy be thou POD killer may they ascend to the kingdom of POD killers AMEN From here we find the Truth.
Lea Gorka	Posted - 2009.05.14 23:37:00 - [49] even if you pay you get podded so just dont get expensive implants lol
Renarla	Posted - 2009.05.15 03:03:00 - [50] Because only idiots get their pods caught in lowsec. When your in structure, select the nearest celestial object, spam 'Warp-To', and your pod will instant warp when you pop. However, on another note, I now have one of those annoying sigs.

Tai Paktu The Scope	Posted - 2009.05.15 04:19:00 - [51] For the sound it makes. (inb4 EVE has sound?)

True story. He's a new player. He does not need +3 implants so early, he's probably not even at 4 in learning skills, he's not on those > 5x skills. If he's an alt fitted with +3 to "farm SP fast" he should not cry at being podded because his main can buy them back fast (and having a main he should know better than getting podded in low sec). If he's not an alt he should not rush to using something he cannot afford to lose. If he really wants to use what he can't afford to lose he should not go in low sec, or to learn to live in low sec FIRST, buy the +3 after.
Rashmika Clavain Gallente Revelation Space	Posted - 2009.05.15 09:53:00 - [53] 1: for the lol factor 2: because they can 3: to make you whine on the forum In truth it can be any of the above or any coombination of the above. There is a counter to being pod killed, so if it is an issue for you, use it. Removed. Please keep your EVE signature related to your EVE persona and not that of a real life politician. Navigator

Your implants are safe in lowsec. o rly ? what about the new 'screen shake im warping but im rly not' bug hapend to me 4 times already since the new patch good job i lost my impants the frst time and didnt replace them
Morel Nova z3r0 Gravity	Posted - 2009.05.15 10:32:00 - [55] Edited by: Morel Nova on 15/05/2009 10:32:51 I pod for 3 reasons: 1. you ****ed me off by smacking in local. 2. you are too close to a gate so I dont think I can ransom you before you jump through. 3. you didnt pay the ransom. Put in space whales!

Good pirates will ransom you, bad pirates will ransom you and pod you, anyone else likely will let your pod go. imho I love carebear tears. Our home system is full of nubs trying to run lvl4 missions in low-sec. So their pods with +5's generate good ransom. So, just WHERE is this home system of yours?
