what a staggeringly ignorant post , maybe you should actually read the thread before spewing your input

The butthurt by Bite Me inc because they didnt bring enough firepower to shot a noobship and didnt got a simple killmail.

We're not butthurt about you self destructing your failfit capitals ribikoka, we'd just like to see battle reports existing. Which we're going to get because CCP happen to agree with us. We look forward to your tears and failfit killmails in the future. And the gytostabs you fit to your archon, or whatever other lol mods you have, since they'll drop for our amusement and profits.

Can you read, little troll ?

Perhaps I should "contribute" with ad hominem attacks and retarded ~real life~ logic about rigging ships with charges to be able to self-destruct in a spaceship game with lasers and treacle-physics?

I haven't personally self-destructed a ship in combat once so v0v - good job on the psychoanalysis sport.

ps. Posting a contrary point of view =/= ignorance

No, you cant read as Gunslinger and most of us "Yeah" sayers stated several times that we dont care about the loot drops, tbh I think most of us would even say remove it as long as CCP also removes insurance payout on SDing.

lol whining about the profanity filter when every post you've made in this thread has included an ad hominem attack.

Really don't understand why you can't simply debate stuff like this like an adult. Have I called you any names? I'm not claiming to be an expert on everything, never have, nor have I said I know everything there is to know about everything. Quite why you feel the need to be so unconstructive is beyond me. If there are a multitude of reasons why someone might self-destruct, outside of escaping WH space, why don't you educate us "ignorant" folk as to what they are?

As for the "10 seconds" thing, that's just getting bogged down in semantics. If it can't be 10 seconds for technical reasons, then maybe it could be 30, or a minute.. the point wasn't that it must be 10 seconds moreover that if the outcome of clicking SD is the same regardless - loot and a killmail for your aggressors - then as far as I can make out, and I'm quite willing to be told I'm wrong in a rational manner, having it take 2 minutes to complete is irrelevant.

Now if it did an AoE blast, or didn't drop loot, the delay would make sense - since that timer would then, as it is now, be a countdown that your enemies have to beat to get the extra reward (or avoid the AoE blast)... for example.

I'd also like to see insurance removed when SD, but the main reason I post is that I thought I'd propose a way of doing SD.

My preference would be that SD doesn't drop modules, but it also doesn't pay insurance. That way, you can choose to give nothing to your enemies, but you wouldn't get any insurance yourself.

Hey Frodo,

Pinky's right. The SD mechanism isn't haphazard or cobbled together quickly it is also a built-in system that's part of the hull when you purchase it. And with a capsuleer's nerve endings hooked into every system of the ship, self-destructing should indeed be more complete than death by shots from any external source. Blowing something up from the inside out is always preferable for assured complete destruction.

no you're wrong
