I think that people who kill capitals aren't doing it for the loot. It's a not a serious argument to make against self destruct option
I see how self destruct option is kind of a downer, for the gank squad (lets face it, it's only used by victims of overwhelming force). But it puts a nice twist on the whole PvP scene, and it goes well with EVE's core theme of hurting people.

Meh... I don't like self destruct right now for the simple reason that the person who is doing so is having his cake and eating it. He is able to deny all loot, the killmail and he gets his insurance payout. It's a win/win scenario for the self destructer. Now, I couldn't give two hoots about the killmail or the loot as long as the person doing the self destructing gets hit in the balls by it (figuratively speaking).
For those saying 'HTFU' and 'Bring more DPS'... really gents? You want to encourage more blobby behaviour?
if it's a win win to self destruct, why don't you do it more often?
like when your territory is being attacked, simply self destruct and all your troubles go away. The enemy gets NOTHING, so they would be too discouraged to come in the first place, right?

ok, I forget some some carebears misuse the carrier for mission running.
And I'm all for the inhumane treatment of carebears, but there's gotta be a different way than messing with the self destruct for caps across the board. Maybe modify missions so they don't allow carriers to finish them. After all, NPC rats deserve better treatment too, more than some carebears

This applies to killmail whores too, you get NOTHING.

I think the only reasonable change is a minor increase in self destruct timer for caps - by 1 minute.
And denial of insurance payout.
But no killmails, since the whole purpose of self destruct is to deny the killmail and loot, these 2 things should not be overturned.
