npcs dont have pods we are in pods npc ships if your going with eve lore have crews

This would be cool. Only problem I see is that not too many npc's (mission nps's at least) survive another hit after going into structure, let alone 20%. 20% armor maybe? Other than that, interesting idea.

sweet

Praticly,

" I dont wonna die, take my ship, let me escape in my pod "

The chance of it to happen would be like 1%.
When it happens, the NPC would have less than 20% hull left before giving u the option.
The NPC would then broadcast it would surrender, and few seconds after jump out in a escape pod (if not killed)
The bounty would not change if killed even he would surrender. the escapre pod could be killed for additional reward.

If u manngde to save the ship, u would then have to jump into your escape pod and take control over it, with 20% or less hull dmg.
Due to the desity of the dmg, all the mods onbard the captured ship has been destroyed.

It would bring a hole new way of ratting.
When ratting, u would allways has to be carefull when it enters hull, if u want to have a chance that he surrenders.

Ofcoz droneships would not do this, neither would concordships.




On the last note, for god sake, lets try keep this topic flame free :-)

If this is implemented, expect me to start flying out to highsec and lowsec belts in T1 fitted Rifters and shooting Dram and Cynabal NPCs into structure and then re-selling their hulls, lol (or whatever the dominant rat is in the area).

I would have REALLY loved this idea that time I went lowsec ratting in a T1 fitted Rifter and took down a rat in a Nightmare, lol.

that u could not fly coz u did not have the skills, just hope u had nice friends :)

While I don't have Amarr BS trained ATM (all of my skills are in Cal/Gal/Min), you can bet I'd spend the 3.5d it takes to train it if this happened. I'll trade a 1M Rifter for a 1B pirate BS any day.
