VB Sarge	Posted - 2007.11.12 19:25:00 - [1] This is a horrible idea. Putting stabs on a pod, putting a buffer on a pod, putting a cloak on a pod... all bad ideas. You lose your ship, THAT is your buffer for your pod, that is what protects your pod. Yes, the current pod goes down very quickly, even against a T1 fitted Frig. That is because it isn't supposed to be the OMG save me! device most of the previous posters think it should be. Bad piloting gets your pod killed, not the lack of pod resources. Yes, I suffer from lag when my ship explodes, and instawarping with my pod doesn't usually work before I'm locked and scrammed. It happens. Don't put yourself in a situation in which you can lose your pod. If you do, then you deserve what you get. A shield buffer just prolongs the inevitable, and is a waste. In order to have any real impact the buffer would have to be outrageous, and lame. Stabs on a pod just don't make sense. It's a small shell to protect your body from the harshness of space, not the harshness of those in space. A cloak on a pod, albeit attractive to many non serious PvPers just doen't make sense. A cloak is a tough thing to fit on most ships to begin with, so how are you going to justify one on your lil ol pod? Besides, I'd say 9/10 times I end up in my pod, it's in a close range engagement, and would be decloaked instantly anyways. Please note, I do not lose ships that often, just offering that up for reference. While I do commend the OP's attempt at an idea, I think it wasn't thought up in the name of any kind of balance. A money sink, yes; practical, no. And yes, current pods are not the reason bounty hunting is broken, the bounty system is the reason bounty hunting is broken.
