Shamis Orzoz	Posted - 2005.08.17 20:13:00 - [1] Edited by: Shamis Orzoz on 17/08/2005 20:15:40 Its very simple. It takes too long to ransom people because convo's take sooo long to open properly(we're talking minutes, not seconds). A quick ransom requires the use of local, which means anybody else in local will instantly know what you're up to, no matter how clueless they are...not to mention the target in question may not be looking at local at all as he pees his pants... Please fix, Thanks Shamis
piercer	Posted - 2005.08.17 21:15:00 - [2] I agree, allthough asking for a ransom in local is fast, it may alert the corp m8s of the victim etc to be alerted too.

Shamis Orzoz	Posted - 2005.08.18 02:41:00 - [7] Originally by: Srewolf Bane Do people actually pee thier pants?? So what's your beef with us? We must've ganked you or your alt sometime recently I suppose.
w0rmy	Posted - 2005.08.18 02:48:00 - [8] What about a 'Ransom' button like the 'Warp to' ones You can set a default ransom amount, like orbit and warp to... A window pops up, the person can either accept or not, if they accept the money goes and anyone in gang with the pirate cannot lock the player for xx seconds, if they dont accept they keep fighting. I dunno, but yeah, would be nice to see more support for this.

Graelyn	Posted - 2005.08.18 03:40:00 - [10] That is an excellent idea. And I'm not even a pirate. Not your average Amarrian Loyalist.... CEO - The Aeternus Crusade

I dunno, but yeah, would be nice to see more support for this. And, even if it was exploited (another pirate warps in to kill the ransom victim), those pirates would simply lose their reputation as honest ransomers, and nobody would pay--just like now. -- Proud member of the [23].

Sobeseki Pawi	Posted - 2005.08.18 05:33:00 - [13] I like the Ransom Mechanic idea, and here is my suggestion for options like current convo boxes: 1) Accept Ransom 2) Accept Ransom and Add Ebil Pirate to your Addressbook 3) Decline Ransom 4) In yo face ebil rat!!! Self Destruct Activates ~Sobe Looking for a combat corp?
Jane Vladmir	Posted - 2005.08.18 05:34:00 - [14] I want to add that I am all for the Ransoming Support Button. CCP; You can proceed to adding this to the next patch.

Lifewire	Posted - 2005.08.18 07:37:00 - [16] Ovreur now thinks:"These f...... pirates made 641 carebears quit the game this month - bas.....!!! That¦s 641 x 12,95 $ every month!!! And now they cry about laggy convos?!?!?" I did not experience laggy convos. But i would like to see the "strike colors button" to make tollings be part of the game. And in low sec. systems with gate sentrys, tollings are nearly impossible while sentrys hit you poor BS like a whole fleet volley. I really don¦t even think about a tolling while i loose 1000 hitpoints every second. And finally: gate piracy and tollings in low sec are restricted to battleships because sentry guns do instatoast a frigate or cruiser. Damage should be lower on frigs and cruisers. Try a TDG spawn or the TDG complexes in Pure Blind, Syndicate or empire.
K3NDY	Posted - 2005.08.18 07:56:00 - [17] "4) In yo face ebil rat!!! Self Destruct Activates" 120 seconds, you will be out in ur pod by this time

A recent study indicates that 82.7% of carebears develop temporary bladder and bowel dysfuctions when being warp scrambled by a pirate. This public service announcement was brought to you by the people who make Beer Milkshakes!Ö I know a few wannabe pirates who suffer from the same problem as well.
Tinweasel	Posted - 2005.08.18 18:11:00 - [23] Originally by: Xoria Krint I agree. It takes way to long. to pee your pants?
Randay	Posted - 2005.08.19 01:16:00 - [24] since when did anyone say pirating was supposed to be easy? next thing you know itll be so easy that youll be called carebears instead of pirates.

A recent study indicates that 82.7% of carebears develop temporary bladder and bowel dysfuctions when being warp scrambled by a pirate. This public service announcement was brought to you by the people who make Beer Milkshakes!Ö in my experience, the remaining 17.2% seem to think some imaginary savior force will warp in and pwn the pirates before they can be killed... or, in the case of that last .1% think they can win in an osprey fitted with 2 light missle launchers... that one still confuses me.
Snaieke	Posted - 2005.08.19 01:57:00 - [26] I love the idea of somthing along the lines of the ransom button, would solve the problems of autoreject also. However the problem is, as is mentioned above, that this would lose the personal quirks of the pirate in their ransom style, which is part of the fun tbh. Yelling out "stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya" just wouldnt feel the same if a little window popped up or somthing.

Pshychotic Pyro	Posted - 2005.08.19 02:02:00 - [27] while in your pod and that ransom comes threw that eject button looks mighty nice
upsideup	Posted - 2005.08.19 02:41:00 - [28] Originally by: Pshychotic Pyro while in your pod and that ransom comes threw that eject button looks mighty nice Because you want to give the pirate your ship and everything on it? Seroiusly, I can find no reason for why people would eject in battle, it just doesn't make sense. btw, /signed Another really awesome feature would a ransom button with an window to enter an amount that gives the other character a decline or accept option, accept causes a sort of target jam effect on the pirate. But don't expect ccp to do much to encourage pirating, especially fair pirating.

This doesn't really help pirates as much as it helps victims save there ships No convo = dead ship ________________________________________________________
