Can you link what fit you used for this? This looks like a good way to kill time during art history lecture.

basically 280's sebos w scan res scripts and either 2 gyros or gyro mapc if your fitting skills arent up to scratch. if you can get meta 3 or meta 2 mods cheap then go for it otherwise plain meta 1 should work fine for pods.

Don't use a rig, just get advance weapons upgrade to 1. I'm working on it now. If you just want to pop pods and shuttles use phased thermal faction and meta 1 280s and one gyro is all you need.

Goons are bad people and should be ashame of them selfs.

If you want to fit a full rack of T2 280's and all the mids, you will need one or other of the fitting mods.

how on earth did your sec status stay high enough for you to do this. Normally pods are a MAJOR hit. i cant imagine doing more than 3 or so of these before i couldnt undock in ships without getting podded anymore. Is this the standard, wait in a safe and have unpiloted ships somewhere, or did you dock up and fit them then?

You can still travel about in high sec with low security status, you just cant hang about because you will be shot. There is still enough time for you to land on grid and alpha a pod or ship before you get scrambled and dealt with. The only 100% restriction on high sec travel for outlaws (-5 or worse) is in CONCORD sovereignty space.

yeah, as someone who spends time out in lowsec popping pods and has a maximum of a -6.0 sec status, that means not so much for me. Well, lowsec gates work well for pods as well, just not quite as many.

I noticed a LOT of your targets were already into structure when you struck. Me thinks a setup. The motivation behind such a setup is beyond my understanding though, unless one simply wanted a fast track ticket to -10

However, and this is the big question, if you shoot somebody's pod, shouldn't concord retaliate by shooting yours?

the streets of jita just arent safe anymore...

Sure if he shoots there pod in his pod then absolutely. Till then the victims should have wrapped there pods in some sort of protective coating. A Ship perhaps.

I here Shuttles are cheap and common.

Is this desirable from a game design point of view?

Hell yes it is.

Hell yes it is.

Right. I am not arguing for security, Concord is all about consequences, but what you're saying is that for people with enough money there are no relevant consequences in high-sec, and that this is a good thing.

Ok, EVE is about capitalism and more money equals more power, so just watch your back.
The arguments about escalating consequences have apparently already been discussed some time ago:
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Suicide_ganking_%28CSM%29
without any apparent solution, so I suspect I have just been rehashing earlier arguments

Again, I am not advocating total security in high-sec, and the original poster has had a lot of fun. More power to him.

However, how many copycats would it take to make this really annoying to players? Or would this just be considered a temporary annoyance (like hulkageddon), as the perpetrators will get bored eventually?

It seems to me that the really rich alliances could keep this up in the high-sec trading hubs for months without any noticable costs.

This is made all the better by implants being on pod kill mails now

At least 274 so far I think. Fleets have been gathering to tag me now to get that oh so prized 800k suicide thrasher.

Of course, lots of people say you can avoid this by flying ungankable ships or other shenanigans, but my main point is that there are no noticable repercussions for rich people that go on a systemic long term suicide ganking spree.

Sure. It'll help dispose of their excess wealth.

If people want to spend their isk on this kind of thing, they can, basically.

Me, I think it's time to start manufacturing thrashers.

i find this kind of ironic.

youre "teaching" people not to sit in their pod because it's "unsafe", but the only reason its unsafe is because youre blowing their pods up.

you have serious cognitive problems.

but its cool to abuse people under the guise of some moral thing.

Stupidity.

the irony is pretending to somehow be their benefactor by "teaching them" when that is merely the facade to be a griefer.

DERP DERP bro, DERP DERP

What the? Nobody is pretending that at all. You're pretty slow to pick up on the humour and sarcasm of this thread.

But perhaps there was some irony in your original post. You incorrectly used the word 'irony' while at the same time suggesting another poster has 'serious cognitive problems'.

Funny stuff.

You're not an Alanis Morissette fan by any chance: http://fgk.hanau.net/articles/ironic.html

And please keep your primitive 'derp derp' internet idiot noises to yourself.

That is all.

Derp derp derp! DERP DERP!
