When you destroy someones pod, is there anything to be gained from it? is there a lootable wreckage, What would normally be in it that worth having a kill right on tyou?

1. To set the enemy/opponent back. Clone upgrade and new implants cost ISK.
2. To disrupt intel. They are back in clone station and out of local. Nobody can warp to them, and they cannot relay local activities.
3. "Because I can". Locking a pod is a significant challenge for most ships.
4. A corpse

The corpse is just one of those strange things people collect isn't it?

Yes and it's quite entertaining to smack in local about a corpse (and quality time with it) when it's owner comes back with a vengeance ...
Some people are strangely attached to their frozen corpses you see and some people can be incredibly funny with the issue.
Think I spent like 1/2 hour once talking trash on local about what do to a corpse (I already had 2) along with it's 'owner' (who was red to us).

I usually get their corpse, then contract it back to them. Have had some wonderful smack from this

Yep, pretty much.
Think I got 300+ corpses in a container.
The majority I just scooped, but a significant number I created my self.
and further more why do i even need a sig? |

After you get podded there is a corpse left in that same spot. If you enable "biomass" setting in your overview you will be able to see these. Some people collect corpses as a memory of how many people they have killed and podded. Corpses are otherwise worthless, but if you are somebody famous they can be resold for some ISK. There is a practice for example among scammers to pod yourself and if you victim rages around getting scammed too much try to see if he would like to buy your corpse from an alt just for giggles. Some pirate corporations also pay their members for corpses as a way to inspire them to pvp and I have seen people randomly purchasing them in bulk from other players on C&P forum for reasons still unclear to me, but hey they paid good ISK.
In pvp it is of an advantage to get your opponent out of local fast. If you are pirating and camping a gate, sometimes people you kill will escape in their pods and then linger on the other side of the gate trying to scare the traffic away by warning them of the camp in local. Obviously if you have managed to pod them they'd end up many jumps away in their new clone. If you are pirating in belts some people will start speaking in local after getting killed so taking them out of the area in pod-express is in your best interests to not draw attention to your activities. In 0.0 pvp since stations are rare podding your opponents means that they can end up many many jumps away from current engagement which means it can take them a while to come back in a new ships. And of course it also means your opponents lose implants and have to pay for a new clone, which for older characters can be 13+ million a pop, which means more hours spent ISK grinding for their members or slower skill training times otherwise. Thus it is a financial setback for your opponents.

I wonder how much Cribba's corps is worth? Cribba, if you're there fancy listening to a cunning plan?
EDIT: Some corp created a graveyard for public viewing and wailing. I don't know if that survived long though.

Confirming this. Also, I've found that some people even buy the corpse back if you set a price around 5m-20m
(I can neither confirm nor deny any allegations of hinting about % chance to recover implants in the contract description)

When you destroy the pod, there's a lovely noise that escapes. It's not something you can collect, since it's gone by the time you hear it, but it's something that might appeal to someone enough that they just go around squicking pods for the sake of it.

If the target has a bounty set on him, this bounty can be collected by destroying the pod.

I would think is more for the benefit of tactical knowledge in warfare, and also for the sweet agony that some players endure when they get podded.

I'm fairly certain you're talking about the space cemetary that Goonswarm destroyed. Goons claimed it was unholy to justify wiping it out.
As to podding, the most important thing is to remove an intel source, but on a different level it can be used to destroy the morale of a corporation. Podding older players costs them implants and clone upgrade fees, but podding all the newer players in a corporation can reduce morale incredibly fast.
Imangine all the new players in a medium size corp have come out to 0.0, all excited and enthusiastic. Then they get podded 3 times in a day. Then it happens again the next day and a couple of them go screw this, I'm leaving. Then the next day a couple more, until suddenly one day the corp is five directors and a couple of vets. Different corporations will use different tactics depending on their agenda - if they really want to crush an opponent, then targeting the younger players pods can be very effective. Unless the leadership does something to assist the new guys and gals get back on their feet, players will start to leave and the attacking force will claim a victory.

Was in syndicate a few weeks ago. Did some scanning there.
At some point I saw 2 ships.
Next scan I saw 1 ship and one wreck
Next scan I saw 1 ship and 1 pod
Next scan I saw 1 ship and 1 corps
Cannot say how much that freaked me out.
Scarier then a horror movie, I tell ya!

At the risk of going off topic, corps is a French word for a grouping of military units. It is pronounced 'core'. Lately the grouping usually consists of three or more armies, made up of three or more divisions. I think that, in French, the singular is the same as the plural.
Corp is an in-game word, short for corporation. Since it's not a real word, I'm not sure what the plural is.
A corpse is a dead body, usually human, and the plural is easy. Corpses. Or, in Eve's case, corpsicles.
Thanks for the applause, and a tip of the hat to Daniel Webster.

Actually, the progression is as follows:
Divisions -> Corps -> Army -> Army Groups
A corps is a grouping of divisions, not armies. (in NATO parlance anyways)

It's actually 2 or more sub-units.
e.g. a Brigade is 2 or more Battalions, A Division is 2 or more Brigades, A Corps is 2 or more Divisions, etc.
During WW2 the First Australian Corp consisted of 2 Divisions (6th and 7th) for the majority of the war, but at times had more. For a brief period in 1942 in Greec, it included the NZ Division, but then the 7th was stripped off to go fight in Syria. The 2nd Aust Corps by contrast generally had 3 Divisions.
Are we far enough de-railed yet, I could go on........

Being one of those newbies that was podded 3 times a day, the only thought I had was, man this is way faster than traveling in a pod. Thanks for the free trip back to the rifter cache!
