Criminal. You get it by shooting other ships.

Thats concord time.

You've always been poddable in highsec, being suspect just increases the chance of it happening.

Here in Belgium a citizen went to jail for assaulting a burglar the other day. The burglar said he only meant to steal some **** out of the garage but then again what was he doing in the childrens' bedroom? Didn't matter, the guy still went to jail. Country has gone to **** when the rights of the criminal are more important then the rights of the victim.
Criminals get health insurance through our nice system as well and collect unemployment cheques on top of their less legal job. Our jails are islands of luxury, with swimming pool, TV and internet privileges for the pedophiles. This helps a lot with the internationalization of our criminals ofc, whether they are good at their job or not, life is better in our jails then in their home country.

Lesson is, if you assault a criminal in your home you better make sure you kill him. Corpses can't sue you and they are cheaper to society.

You decided to be a thief and then winge about it on the forums when people chase the thief legally *slowclap*

"I didn't bother reading any patch notes and now I'm being attacked by meanies because I did something bad."

Eve is a game of consequences, deal with it.

To be a criminal is being a pro at it. Weak kneed opportunists need not apply. Gangbangers are nothing, it's the Al Capones and Godfathers that get the notoriety...as they pick challenging targets and truly willing to risk it all.

So if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

In your opinion. There was almost no uproar in the forums because of this particular change.

Because that's how rights work.

Actually, no it's not. Theft, much as in real life, if somebody screams STOP THIEF and you're the one running away like a ****, you think nobody will step in and apply a smack down? Much as in real life, you got smacked the F down. It's much more realistic now.

How is it way out of balance?
You chose to commit a crime. Once someone decided to engage you, you had the same option to kill and pod them....
To anyone that actually thought this through, it makes perfect sense, and is well balanced.....

It's balanced in the sense that you know what you're doing is a crime and CHOOSE to do it. Because you CHOOSE to do it, there's consequences.

Cause and Effect.

If you still want to be a criminal, operating in protected space, don't blame anyone else for that choice. You choose to be a criminal, and the life of a criminal is living on the run and every law enforcement coming after you.

I think it was more the pvp folks crying about carebears not pvping. This was CCPs first steps towards making PVP available to high sec folks and establishing an eve where ppl to take part in self policing instead of relying on concord.


edit: fixed grammer

What did you think would come after you, Tinkerbell?

Most games suck.

i agree tbh i think you shouldnt be able to be podded from suspect timer in highsec. GCC yes

The way things used to go for me:

In 0.4, tackle some guy in belt, take small, initial sec hit.
Wait patiently for him to shoot back to avoid HUGE sec hit for property destruction.
Leave the pod alone because I'm lazy and don't want to rat my sec up.

The way things go for me now:
In 0.4, tackle some guy in a belt, take medium sec hit.
Wait patiently for him to shoot back so I get Limited Engagement.
POD HIM BECAUSE NO PENALTY.
Or hell, now I can just smoke his ship and pod and just buy my sec back with tags.

Best. Changes. Ever.

#WINNING.

Read through this thread before answering, and you seem to be equating podkilling with actual killing. Podkilling, since you are functionally immortal in the game through cloning, is more like a stern intervention. Maybe like tripping you or punching you or something like that to stop you as you run away with someone's purse. Which folks IRL do quite often. The yellow flashy tag is, in effect, someone yelling "Stop, thief!".

The scenario you want - you steal from someone, and only they or their close associates can intervene. So, if they are alone and/or unable to respond you can freely and openly walk over to the next target, in full view of a crowd of people, steal their stuff, and so on. Indefinitely, if you pick your targets well. Which is mind-bogglingly unrealistic.

The new crimewatch is far more realistic, once you get over the bizarre equating of podkilling with actual death. People who are gunned down IRL don't just waltz out of a clone bay a few seconds later a bit poorer for the experience.

Actual thieves usually have to run and hide for a bit after committing a theft. It's a skill you might want to learn if you wish to continue your career as a thief.

The Old West

I think by definition thievery isn't an honest profession.
