Yeah, and unless you're afk or a mouthbreathing idiot that PVP isn't going to lead to a pod loss. Same with lowsec.
same with 0.0.....I am sure if you scanned a full days worth of 0.0 kills, many of them would have ship but no pod to go with the ship. It is quite possible to clear pods in 0.0. have done so many times on the combat char. Actually the funny thing I have a high low sec podding rate. As I usually get lucky and meet the instalock or close to it crew. And they usually are lag free. Couple 0.0 battles I wrote my pod off tbh when I saw the unresponsiveness and genuinely surprised to see it moving to a gate after a bit.
yeah 0.0 has bubbles time to time. Case of crap happens there.
Rest of this...corp/alliance roaming that much don't run what you don't want to replace. Lots of players run lg's and hg's daily full time. + skill wires. Some combat drugs, not the cheap stuff either. Take your pick here. they settle for +2 or +3 boosts 4life, and they pay hundreds of millions to do this. I ran 0.0 for close ot 1.5 years on +3's....they will get you where you need to be.
Also you are thinking too highly of other players. If they are using cost of implants or train times (which +5 does ot fix that fast until you get to fun skills like BS 5 and such) as an excuse to not pvp, by and large if you had this they would find reason #2 to not pvp.
A player wants to blow crap up genuinely, they will be out there blowin crap up. Set of +3's and lots of actual flight time will make any player a much better pliot than shooting rats in +5's for days on end. Anyone with a genuine interest in pvp thinkng otherwise is thinking wrong. I used to pvp, now stuck in empire. My recon 5 rapier (trained recons on this empire break) against any capable pvp pilot who flies often I will bet on the other guy. Got me 0 hours, 0 minutes flighttime in rapier. I would fly it like a tard and diaf at when I get back ot 0.0 at first. Recon 5 not changing the fact I have no actual skill on the ship. especially with no working pvp experience for so long. I know trigger rats and how to blitz certain missions at this point.
You are also assuming this is the only cause of people ditching roams and ops. I got lots of other reasons I personally used. Did not like the FC was a common one. If a FC liked to run suicide roams but not trash suicide fits...well then more richer players could enjoy the expensive deaths, if money tight I saved my isk. Now suicde roam, suicide ride and fits....man do these all night long. Throw away hacs pointelssly just not me. Not risk averse. Tard averse more like it.
Or I knew the op would run loooooong. Common when I was with one crew. If op had the high chance of going way past my bedtime (TZ differences a pita sometimes) I was a no show. Way too much fun too mnay times sitting with my thumb up my ass when I logged early, relogged in next day and the nearest blue (system or player) was 20+ jumps away and whole lot of red/grey between us. 20 gate jumps, unescorted BS so knew my chances were slim to none of going home in one piece. I'd pray to whatever gods would hear me I could log in when a close by timer up. Sometimes it was same day, sometimes a few days....and sometimes I am going well f me and self destructed after a few days and realizing we ain't coming back out here and no station nearby (to not catch hell for being the tard soloing a bs in hostile space no escort, fact I had no choice would jsut be ignored so why friggin bother) . Why I am no longer in 0.0...I have never lost a bs to hostile fire. All were suicides and I jsut realized I can't work in the 0.0 time frames with current rl stuff going on.
I suck at scanning or I'd give wh's a go tbh lol. they mix the pve and pvp decent it seems. |
