For the Inferno 1.2 release, we've modified the self-destruct mechanics a little. These changes are now live on the Singularity test server. You can go and try them for yourself, and leave feedback in this thread.
Loot Drops
Ships that self-destruct will now drop loot in their wreck. This follows the regular chance-based loot-drop mechanics for items fitted to the ship and carried in the cargo hold.
Kill Reports
Ships that self-destruct whilst under aggression will now generate a regular kill-report. In order for this to happen, the ship must have been recently aggressed, and there must be at least one of the aggressors in space in the system at the time of death. The final-blow will be awarded to the eligible attacker who inflicted the most damage.
Self-destructs that do not involve player aggression will not generate a kill-report
By the way, you may have seen reports of the occasional self-destruct kill-report on Tranquility recently. These were caused by an unrelated defect, and were not intentional. Typically the items list of such mails is incomplete. I'm stating this in-advance, as no doubt someone would have asked about it.

Can we at least now make self-destruct happen faster? Say 10 seconds instead of two minutes? Waiting for people to kill me is such a bore...
Also woudln't it make more sense to list the person who self-destucted as the "final blow" guy? Or would that fall into the "people who don't post lossmails" category of douchebaggery? |

Nice change. But if we're going to prevent players from destroying their loot by self-destruct, what's to prevent them from sticking it in a corp hangar? |

This is why CCP Masterplan is the best plan. This is something that a lot of players have been asking about for the last few years, and it is great to see CCP fix it!

This ^
As the only reason I can see for it taking so long to self destruct was to give people chance to kill you can we simply have a self destruct followed by are you sure insta destruct change added please.

The CSM threw up a thread about self-destruct creating kill reports when we first took office, and have been discussing it with CCP off and on since whenever the subject came up. I'm not entirely convinced we need INSTANT self-destruct, but one of the CSM's suggestions was to scale the self-destruct sequence based on the size of ship. So maybe pods could be near instant, frigates might be 10 seconds, cruisers 30, battleships 60 seconds, capitals 2 minutes, etc. (Though these numbers are just an example)
Thoughts? We'll be happy to keep bugging the devs about the timer length if its something that's important to you all.

Works for me. I was mainly thinking of pods anyway. It's pretty rare a ship takes longer than 2 minutes to kill. |

Two minutes is way too long. 10 seconds could prevent an inexperienced pilot from finding the 'off' switch soon enough, not to mention the fleet change timer is longer. I think 30 is 'long enough' for a pilot to turn it off, avoiding those weird 'you can't do that now' timers, and short enough to give you the sweet release of death.
Whatever you do, don't do different length timers, don't burden pilots with having to know the different lengths of time. |
