Doireen Kaundur 513	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:18:00 - [1] - Quote Seriosuly. You got the ship and the loot, so now you look at popping the pod which gets you....nothing. Well, maybe a worthless corpse. It is the insult following the injury. So why do you do it?

I have a tendency to agree with his statement.-á

Yang Aurilen Summary Executions Test Alliance Please Ignore 79	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:20:00 - [3] - Quote What if he had a full slave set? That's +2 billion on your killboard. What if you podded The Mittani or Erotica 1? Corpses like those will fetch billions. What if he just told you in local that he'll come to your house and pop your kneecap while his ship is about to explode?
Solecist Project Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 78	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:22:00 - [4] - Quote Anyhow, to properly respond... Because they deserve it. If you manage to pod somebody, it was his fault he got caught.

Kaarous Aldurald ROC Deep Space The ROC 4346	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:23:00 - [6] - Quote If I see what implants they have (had), it helps me put together a better picture of the battle for my own personal after action reports. Besides that, it sends them back to their medical station, which can help prevent them from reshipping nearby and ruining my day. It's actually the reverse of what you would claim. There is never a reason to not pod someone. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws." -áPsychotic Monk for CSM9.
Doireen Kaundur 513	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:25:00 - [7] - Quote So podding is strictly ego stroking. Nevermind that you get nothing tangible out of it. If we could salavage implants, i would see the reason. But just for an e-peen erection..I dont.

Aralyn Cormallen Wildly Inappropriate Goonswarm Federation 261	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:28:00 - [8] - Quote Many reasons: It removes a scout of the grid (a target caller can still call targets from a pod, and he can still be used for warp-ins), it sends someone (hopefully) a long way home to their clone bay to slow down their reship, perhaps to shut their whining up in local, to increase the cost of the loss by taking out implants and maybe an expensive pod in the case of a high-sp character, maybe they like collecting corpses, and of course, some people just like to hear the squish.

If you really want to make podding interesting, have it remove game time. When podded, you lose 12 hours of game time in your sub.

Prie Mary Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 119	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:31:00 - [11] - Quote always pvp in a clean clone with that new alpine fresh clone smell Dont just think outside the box, Live outside of it...

Seven Koskanaiken The Shadow Plague Fidelas Constans 1134	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:35:00 - [13] - Quote Because it's there. Also I trade implants on my alt, so it's good for business.

All you did was make him a little dumber by slowng down his training speed. It's not just learning implants you need to consider. A Snake set is expensive, and a major booster to a solo or small-gang fighter. And lets not forget Mindlinks; you pod the mindlinked fleet-booster for the enemy fleet, and they have just taken a serious kick to the nuts of their fighting ability right there on grid at that moment.

Bagrat Skalski Poseidaon 1227	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:40:00 - [16] - Quote Podding means loss of implants and new clone maybe far away, that is something when you are going to war. Also podding someone who could be at war with you. When weapons, technology, and economies mature faster than the leadership culture entrusted with them, disaster ensues.
Solecist Project Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 80	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:42:00 - [17] - Quote Personally, I kept podding people for their attitude. If you autopilot in a pod anywhere and have implants, then you deserve to lose them. You wouldn't walk through the bronx in an armani suit, with a golden rolex and a shiny looking suitcase either. Or park your expensive looking car somewhere you know it should get stolen. It's a reflection of how messed up peoples POVs of the game are. Sure, some people know and simply risk it... but many others simply believe it's safe enough to do so... and that's bullcrap.

Both are useful, actually. Better they get podded as a newb by a ganker so that they learn about updating their clone, than a few million skillpoints later. It can be of nothing but benefit to you, and it can be a near guaranteed detriment to your opponent. And if you aren't meaning to inflict loss on the other guy, why would you bother killing him in the first place?

Shederov Blood Deadly Viper Kitten Mitten Sewing Company 961	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:45:00 - [22] - Quote It promotes a healthy implant market. Sadly, the squish sound hasn't been around for quite a few years. Even sadder, almost no one noticed it was gone.

Yarda Black Epidemic. Nulli Secunda 93	Posted - 2014.04.03 10:56:00 - [26] - Quote I pod out of courtesy. It saves time to get back to a station. It also removes a lot of stress. Cos burning 10 jumps in a pod worth billions is very stressfull. Bubbles will be your undoing. So I save people alot of nerve-wrecking jumps.

Ganking the pod too removes the target from the system and thus, removes their eyes. Its another layer of security for our own hauler that is scooping the loot.

If we could salavage implants, i would see the reason. But just for an e-peen erection..I dont. Soo basically you ignored all serious posts above you and decided to conclude what you already assumed... Why even ask then? Pods can hold expensive implants. Most people cant replace a full slave set for every ship they lose. This means that next time you meet the person, he is likely to be weaker, which is good for you. Same counts for learning implants. If people never podded, nothing would keep people from flying around in +5 implants, mraning you would faster face worse opponents. People can also have a bounty, in which case killing the pod can be a way to extract all the bounty money if you crack open one with the right implants. People can still see local in a pod. They can also feed intell and even use the ingame browser. So basically you a spy in the middle of your fleet. The same pod can given the right market buy a frigate in a local station and light the cyno that brings in the hammer on you. If you let the pod live, people can fly home and reship. Ig you kill it, they need to upgrade their clone first and in many cases end up somewhere far away. So as meny posters before your total failure to read pointed out: Pods needs to die, just as much as the ship it used to be in!
Victor Andall Complexes and Abaddons 346	Posted - 2014.04.03 11:00:00 - [29] - Quote Every single player is in direct competition with you at all times. Every single pod kill sets a player back even the slightest amount and gives you the slightest edge. Maybe implants, maybe skillpoints maybe even just the clone upgrade cost. Never scored one because it's obscenely simple to save your pod, but you can be damned sure I tried every time. I don't abandon wrecks either. **** the Space Police. I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do? Andall Combat Tournaments - on hiatus. Contact for more information.
Aralyn Cormallen Wildly Inappropriate Goonswarm Federation 262	Posted - 2014.04.03 11:07:00 - [30] - Quote As an aside, now we look to be getting ship skins one way or another, am I alone in saying I would pay serious money for a Cadburys Cream Egg skin for my pod?
