The solution you're looking for is to leave high sec.

Alas, if only I could make everyone else do the same.

You needn't make them do anything; let them have their cesspool of false safety.

Tell me do you think its ok or not as bad to murder poor people in the real world?

Killing a ship is the equivalent of burning someones car. Killing a pod is equivalent to murder. Of course theres those pesky crews to think about but they pretty much sign their life over anyway.

This security status loss does not appear to have any bearing on the value of the ISK destroyed nor the severity (or lack thereof) of the crime committed.

And what about low-sec, where you still lose sec status for attacking people?

I still don't see why CCP doesn't add a "Lawyer" skill that reduces security status lost on aggression by 5% per level.

Such a feature should allow us to pay a high retainer, such as 1 billion isk, for a lawyer agent to represent us and negate all sec status losses. Those of us with isk should not have to endure the penalties the masses face or have to bother with turning in tags. At the very least, let us have people do that for us.

When you kill a player's ship or are involved in its destruction, you lose approximately .3-.4 of your sec status, regardless of whether the ship is worth 5 million or 50 billion ISK.

When you kill a pod, you lose 2.5 or so of your sec status,whether the pod has no implants or a full set of crystals (~3 billion).

This security status loss does not appear to have any bearing on the value of the ISK destroyed nor the severity (or lack thereof) of the crime committed.


What this means is that you can blow up billions of ISK worth of ships, but shoot so much as a single alpha-clone pod and you can expect a security status loss commensurate with having murdered 10 to 15 highsec ships.


This doesn't make any sense. Podkilling shouldn't be incurring so much of a loss--what's so devastating about it compared to the ISK loss from ships like a 50 billion ISK freighter? Meanwhile, pilots who shoot such expensive ships get off with the slightest of scratches to their security status.

The solution: lessen pod security status loss to -1.0 or so, while increasing security status loss for ship destruction to twice what it is already--so -.6 or so. Pod killing is unjustly penalized, while ship killing is too lightly penalized. This change can fix that problem.

What about it? Sec status means nothing in lowsec.

I personally don't wanna hear about this Luxury Problem.

Especially now that you can buy back your sec status with ISK.

Gimme a break.

Sentry guns.

It's not a huge deal though, it's less "it sucks people can shoot me on gate" and more "I sure wish I could shoot other people on gate"

wardec them.

No. I won't. It's too easy for them to earn money there; too easy for them to grow rich and fat without penalty; too difficult to engage and destroy some while too easy to annihilate others.
