The funny part is that D400 pod kills in High-sec. Most if not all of his pod kills are HS.
The sad part is the misconception that High-sec is safe. It's not; it's only less dangerous than Low-sec because Concord hinders shooting something just because it's there. High-sec attackers will have a reason to shoot their target, because of Concord's infallible response. Sometimes it's an economic reason, as with freighter ganks like Burn Jita, or it could be an ideological purpose like the New Order crusade. Then there's strategic ganking, such as if Miniluv spots a known freighter alt of a N3/PL character during the current war, wherein the gank is to prevent the enemy from getting those resources. Whatever the reason aggressors may have, you can die in High-sec, and they see to it. They just have to play around High-sec's aggression mechanics or sacrifice ships or isk to Concord to do so.
I've been podded in Low, Null, and WH space. Generally, the guys who pod you are pretty cool if you are civil in communications with them afterward. This is especially true where newbies are concerned, as the Low-sec guys who got me when I was new taught me about various things pertaining to PVP combat.
As for OP, when I get a ship kill, it will depend on the circumstances as to whether I spare, ransom, or burn the pod. If I blow up a ship that belongs to a guy who previously podded me, I will try to pod him for revenge. Nothing personal against my killers; it's just how EVE is supposed to work - you kill me, I kill you. Likewise, I'd fully expect my targets to come after me later on. |

Yo qizza. I haven't changed. I just get some giggles out of folks that fall for my trolls. I have more pod kills than most of these guys have kills. They just too lazy to do a basic kb check before they go all tough guy on me. The keep putting HTFU. I don't know what that means and they won't tell me. It sounds bad though. |

So for those of you that ransom pods, what would your usual/generic ransom figures be?
(I'm only new to my life of piracy and don't want to waste time basically)
But to answer the initial question, yes podding is a lovable offence, i love the smell of pod goo in the morning!

I have a setting on my Overview sets so that it marks people with a bounty on their head with a white skull against a black background. If they don't have that skull, they're in the clear. If there's a bounty...I'll be all over that

Still, if you can at least ransom their pod why not? As you said you're looking to kill the pod if you can get ISK out of it (bounty). Ransoming isn't even killing it.
EDIT: For all I know you do ransom, I see now I've misread your post a bit. Derp. |

One time I even willingly sacrificed a T1 frig to lowsec gate guns just to shoot at a random neutral pod.
Yes, it was empty. Still, no regrets. Pod 'em all! |

Capsules pay ransoms. If they have implants folks will (sometimes) pay you not to pod them. Just scramble em and open convo. The worst they can do is say FU. Then you pod them. |

I'm in agreement with the other pilot who said ransom > kill; this counts for both ships and capsules. Unfortunately, some ships are just too difficult to ransom and I have to settle for catching the pod.
Hetalia Villen wrote:So for those of you that ransom pods, what would your usual/generic ransom figures be?
The answer to this is that it's highly dependent on the situation.
If you're ransoming a ship, pay attention to what the ship is, the cost of the hull, the likeliest fit (check the last loss if you can) and insurance payout. A good starting point is usually the cost of the hull because they'll have to pay that for a new one anyway, plus the cost of the fittings. It will probably go down from there.
If you're ransoming a capsule, pay attention to the age of the pilot and what they just lost. Ransom an older pilot who just lost a pirate cruiser starts out a lot higher than a month-old player who just lost a Venture. I tend to start off with 100,000,000, 30,000,000, 10,000,000 or 3,000,000 and work my way from there to a mutually agreeable sum. |

As for me, I pod those who were impolite or didn't pay the ransom. I guess that's fair. |

I always honor ransoms. 100%.
But if they are refused, I take the pod too, just to make my point.
