Edited by: knentil on 30/03/2010 18:15:47 Ive only been playing for about 4 months, which of course makes me a complete juicy newb.
But theres one thing I really don't understand about pvp.
Do you guys try to pod your victims or let them warp off?
I can understand both perspectives.
It sure is great lulzs to **** someone off when they have over 200mil of implants on them, but from the perspective of getting kill mails and ISK from the loot, isn't it a better idea to not pod people? (Or maybe you get more points in kill mails for the podding, I don't really know, only played 4 months)
I always thought, by letting the pod live, it allows them to refit a ship faster and therefore you get to play target practice again, much faster than if you set them back a few implant sets..
Maybe I just don't get the pleasure of griefing?
Flame away, and no, Im not at troll IvI100..

Podding someone in EVE is akin to "Tea-bagging" someone in a FPS.

Largely depends on circumstances..
Do I have a particular reason to not want that person around whether they are in a pod or not?
Has that person done something to incur the wrath of my corp or alliance?
Am I at war with that person?
Have I been paid to pod that person?
Have I been paid not to pod that person?
Has that person got a bounty on them?
These are just off the cuff, I'm sure there are more reasons out there....

I'll usually try for a ransom, but only if local is 100% clear of neutrals and hostiles (except for him). I'm usually solo, negotiating a ransom takes a while, and I'm just sitting there - as vulnerable as he is just about - while I'm doing it.

Podding is a matter of course. If you can kill the pod, you kill the pod. pods are hard to kil though, by anything but sensor boosted frigates. It's not teabagging, it's just another part of the ship to shoot at.
If you cannot get away you die or get ransomed. If you can, well, thank god you still have your implants. It is a coup d'gras if sorts, but it's not an insult.

Originally by: Tetragammatron Prime I don't pod on character in low sec I don't want to go pirate...sec hit is just too much.
This is the main reason. You can have all the way to -1.99 standings to get into highsec (the tradehubs)... Podding takes about -0.50 standing loss alone maybe more. Also its kind of a common courtesy since most lowsec pvpers fly with a full stack of implants. If they dont insta warp out its due to lag.
Now in 0.0. yes please pod me.. Dont make me travel 40+ systems just to get another ship

Edited by: Mutnin on 30/03/2010 20:15:19 For me it really depends from person to person. I like good fights, if someone gives me a good fight then I'm not going to try to pod them.
If I catch some noob belt ratting in most cases I don't even bother for the pod as I don't want him to be totally discouraged. I'm not here to be a greifer, even though I am a Pirate I tend to still want others to enjoy the game.
On the other hand if it's a aged player that should know how to get his pod out then I'll try to catch it and go for a ransom. That's assuming it wasn't the above mentioned GF situation.
If it's a fleet fight I typically ignore pods due to other targets taking top priority. If I'm in a gang and we catch a belt ratter or target of opportunity then by all means I go for a pod ransom.
If I dislike the person or they are a trash talker, then I always go for the pod kill.

I pod anytime I can in 0.0, I don't even ask for ransom. The reason is I got podded many times in 0.0 my self due to bubbles. Allthough I hate bubbles and don't participate in bubbled gate camps, I have been caught in them where I couldent gate crash or insta cloak or got decloaked etc..., and i have been podded. So I am just returning the favor. Podding noobs is even better, it puts them on a steeply sloped learnig curve. And also , turst me in a fleet fight they are the first ones to come after your pod, due to them thinking they can get an easy kill mail ( pods are 1 point and 10mil asset loss i think). They will ignore the primary guardian and try to lock your pod :). You will see them fly semi tanked frigates with all their weapons spread out. They will drop tackle and fit a shiled booster and a sebo to get in to as many kill mails as possible, by having absolutly 0 benefit to the fleet they belong in. So they deserve it the most. Low-sec, or high sec suiced runs are no podding zones for any of my characters due to above mentioned secuirty penalty and also my respect to the security status of the system.

Since I am in RVB, most pods just fly right past me because of the rules.
In all other instances, I'll go for the pod. My philosophy : If they are dumb enough to let an unboosted cruiser lock them, they deserve the podkill.

If I catch 'em, I'll pod 'em. They provide intel and warp-ins for enemy fleets, so it's smart to make sure they don't hang around.
The exception to this is low-sec, as the sec hit is too high for my tastes (I don't want to go -10).

Why wouldn't you pod is a more interesting question.
You've blown up his/her T2 ship so that's an almost total loss running into hundreds of millions potentially. Why on earth (other than sec hit) would you hesitate in any way to pop the pod?

Sometimes demand a ransom and take the sec hit nevertheless if they didn't pay up.

I have centrylink DSL, which means all the tricks in new eden only save my pod about 50% of the time that enemy goes for my pod. My only alternative is not to undock. As mutnin said on (very)rare occasion I'm FCing I will ask gang not to pod certain people. The rest of the time I kill every pod I can, spread the grief. My internet won't let me live, why should I let you. Jumping gates are no fun either, grid loads take so long I can barily catch a criuser in a ceptor.
P.S. Ask CCP to fix Centrytel or Centurylink. Can't improve service, change your name!

My rule of thumb:
If I caught your pod, and haven't received ransom within 30 seconds of accepting, you are waking up in a station. Else, if you aren't in this situation, your pod made it alive and you don't need to worry.

Tis always a nice to catch a pod, so why not? They often get away, the ones that don't are often inexperienced - so it's a nice practical lesson for them eh! And as said above someone in a pod can feed intel to the enemy, leaving one following you about is prolly not the smartest thing.
Also, why would I want to leave my sworn enemy with his implants in his head? I sure as hell do not expect him to leave me with mine.

As has already been stated, there are lots of reasons to pod but I usually do so for tactical reasons. Who knows were his clone is. If he is several jumps away then you are in control of the field for that much longer and can loot, salvage, set ambushes, whatever.
If the enemy can just reship from a nearby staging area you never know what they are going to come back with.
Besides, once your blood is up it is hard to keep from going NBSI.

If you can get the pod in 0.0, pod him. I actually had a guy I managed to tackle down to pod thank me for saving him a 40 jump trip. If it's lowsec, do it, if you think you won't affect your sec status too negatively.
If you're in high sec, get the thrasher, and pod the crap out of him. If anyone is AFK in high sec in their pod, they deserve it. (Of course, see the comment about sec status.)

Makes sense to pod wartargets in high-sec wars as they will likely have decent implants, thus helping to win the ISK war. Makes sense to pod enemies in 0.0 as they cannot then scout / be a warp-in. Makes sense to pod in lowsec because every non-fail pirate corp needs a respectable corpse collection.

in wormholes, sometimes we pod to get them out of local and to give them a free ride back to empire for their new ship
sometimes we will leave the HIC and most of the gang off the field and let them escape to see if they come back in something bigger. you'll be amazed at how many do.

In 0.0, I'll pod every time I get a lock and gun activation. It's part of the fun of driving a muninn. *squish*
In low sec space, it kind of depends upon what my sec status is and if I can spare the sec hit.

I will always try to catch a pod and ransom it if circumstances allow it. If not - I will just kill it for nice minus security boost. It's hard to keep it at -10 without pod kills if you do any ratting/missioning.

i Dont pob generally unless its a tac situation like them bein used as a scout. an since most of my time is in WH or high sec, thats not an issue. besides, pod killin is plain creulty if the person is older. its very possible they have lagged out (happened to me recently). sn i consider it unsportsman like to pod someone wiht millions in implants becasue of a lil thing like lagg. Ransome is another issue though. if they dont pay up, or look like they are stringin me along while their buddies are headed over ill pod em an run. an as far as the previous "slaughterhouse" comment goes jsut becasue i dont favor poddin doesnt mean im a ***** an if u wanna talk **** like that i say u should fight folks like me more often. im a gentleman, not a *****. big differnece my mentally challenged friend.

getting podded generally doesn't matter. keep clone up to date and stagger your implants to whatever your training and its no big deal.
Sometimes when going on epic 80 jump 0.0 roams, when I dont feel like jumping 80 jumps back..i'll self destruct my ship and my pod to get home. Its not a big deal. |

I had an awesome 1v1 in an Enyo versus a Moa. I popped the Moa, and caught his pod. I was going to pop him, but it was such a good fight without any smack that I simply warped off with a /gf in local and left him to it.
If he'd been an arse, then yeah I'd have podded him.

The only pod I ever regretted killing was the loser of an honored inty duel, did it more as a reflex and as it was instaed (arty Claw ftw) so no time to correct the action.
Not out of honor or anything, mostly because post fights chat are often very interesting.
So yes, pod as much as you can, it's a game feature, you paid for it use it. -- 081014 : emoragequit, char transfered to a friend, 090317 : back to original owner blog |

I usually get pods tackled with my keres (2x small rails lol) so only thing I can kill in a fleet for sure is the pod. And ofc. killing the pod in null sec is a part of danger in the first place, besides they would kill my pod for sure so I kill their pods just to keep score on the positive.

I always try to catch pods so that they can be ransomed. I have found that, in general, very few people pay ransom for their ships. Maybe they're too proud, or they think the loss isn't that bad, or that they can wait for a white knight in shining armor to come save them. Losing a pod sucks though, because a loss of implants can be far, far more than their ship. And if they decide not to pay the ransom, I must do my part to keep my end of the bargain. Corpses are fun, too.

I pod for one of 2 reasons: 1) the person smack talks during/before combat (something I never do) 2) the person scrams me, then tries to ransom me, and I then beat him in combat
While 2 hasn't happened yet, if someone is stupid enough to allow for it, then they deserve to be podded.
But overall, I'm too nice of a guy to pod. And since I don't have any wars and don't travel in 0.0, it isn't tactically needed.

Does that lend itself to a good gravy? Other than the whole sweeping it up off the floor it sounds pretty yummy... hmmmm, might go well with "unfrozen" Corpse Brisket and roasted carebear potatoes (well they are small and roundish....).

Destroy the ship, and if u can hold the pod so he can't jump, then ransom him, sometimes u do get funny responses from the person affected. Its not alwys the case though.
Podding in 0.0 can be to an advantage, but i have been told in some occasions to leave the pod, thus forcing the pilot to slowboat it back to safety, which can keep him out of the fight.
