Doctor Bruce	Posted - 2008.02.16 14:09:00 - [1] I propose an "Auto Warp To Safety" feature. I've personally been podded because of the discreet amount of time it takes to find a stargate or station on your HUD and warp there. I suggest that following the in game mechanics and with possibly very little effort from CCP. We make it just slightly more difficult for a pirate to target a pod and scramble it in the time it takes to align to a safe spot. A dedicated pod killer is then faced with a decision as to whether to fly a ship that can smash anything to bits or fly a ship that can target quicker. Giving at least a slightly higher chance to the gankee of fighting back and winning or being able to run if the pirate blasts his Itty V to bits. Podding has much wider implications than just the sudden rush of adrenalin followed by a period of personal hurt and maybe moving the personal standing slider all the way to the left in a fit of pique. It also affects the markets and not everybody plays Eve for the PvP. It's well known that 80% of pod pilots prefer to remain in empire space. Of late I've seen the markets for empire minerals flatten out with very little profit in say shipping mins between systems. lowsec mins are virtually non existent where I am. The markets are stagnating. I think encouraging the younger pilots to venture out into lowsec might also help to envigourate the markets a little.
