Holding down a solo capital is way to easy. If your not bringing enough guns to kill it fast, then its well within the capital ship pilots right to self-destruct. He's still losing a massive wad of isk, just with the added satisfaction of denying you of you precious killmail. Should have brought more guns!

Obviously you'd need WAAAAAY more firepower. Then your issue wouldn't apply.

This is assuming they haven't changed it. Sure seems like a easy way to get the killmail if they have, assuming you can afford to self-destruct one just for that.

I hear self-destructing ships now yield killmails.

Wait a minute. A guy named suicide r us blew himself up? And you STILL consider this a kill?

Dear god I hope you don't breed.

You can't even distinguish a name from a corporation, his name doesn't even contain "Self" or "destruct"

Bit personal for a discussion about a game don't you think? You don't even know me, I could be a molecular biologist on the verge of curing cancer for all you know.

He has associated himself with a name in-game of an entity he chose to join, that particular entity is called "Suicides-R-Us." Similarly a part representing the whole, you as a player will likely often be referred to as part of Transmission lost.

Capital SD should destroy pods.

Why?

A problem is the number of farmers around driving down the prices. Russian farming groups are a stain upon eve.

We must control the supply and force the smaller groups to comply to our demands.

The best way is to plant some spies in these corps and once the time is right, you stab them into the back and shove them out of the forcefields where they will meet their glorious death.

Self-destruction should negate insurance.

I should not receive money if I intentionally blew up my vehicle on purpose.

And self destruct timer should be relevant to ship class.

Its ******** how a Supercapital with 40+ million ehp can self destruct in the same time a puny >1000ehp shuttle.

Capitals should take 15 minutes to self destruct for starters.


Supercapitals should take 45 minutes to self destruct.


Self-destruction under aggression should give you a killmail of the ship. Loot will be destroyed, but a record should still remain.

Why not, if you crash your own car you get a payout don't you?

Not if you did it on purpose

Sure they do, it's the petition system. An equally timely and fun process.

I'm posting about suicide not being recorded as a kill. (I suppose technically it is but I for one would endeavour to create the games longest list of API verified suicides). This is a game about homicide not suicide, why record suicides (I can only imagine PvPers would agree with me on this, being PvPers, not Pers). That other thread read like a bunch of whines about people wanting non-kill related information recorded in killmails and a feature addition/change suggestion. So You could even argue it's in the wrong section.

Might want to take a peek at this thread...

That thread brought a tear to my eye.

Suck it moonlit.
