Sibyyl 352	Posted - 2014.04.03 11:07:00 - [31] - Quote If podkilling wasn't a thing, PVP would not be treated with the respect it deserves. Getting blapped may have permanent consequences and implant loss. Implants are (in my opinion) the most meta-valuable things in the game, especially the attribute ones. Edit: I have to add, I actually like podkilling because it isn't the FIRST thing that happens when you get blapped. It's like you get a second chance.. like a cat with 2 lives. /Fÿ¡ Now that you are campers you will have more parties and no more sad lonely bubbles.
Ralen Zateki Nexis. League of Infamy 167	Posted - 2014.04.03 11:08:00 - [32] - Quote Actually I prefer to get podded. I'm usually lost somewhere in null sec or deep on a roam in low sec when I get popped, so as long as i'm in the right jump clone i'll just sit there and wait for it... sometimes even ask for it. Gets me back to station and re-shipped that much faster... If I'm in an implant clone well that's of course different.... but i find it's typically not hard to get out if you have a warpout button. And of course, there's the principle of "never fly what you can't afford to lose" thing...
Aralyn Cormallen Wildly Inappropriate Goonswarm Federation 262	Posted - 2014.04.03 11:14:00 - [33] - Quote Also, the first medal I ever got as a newbie was in RvB when I took the Concording and sec status hit for podding a neutral repper that was helping out a war-target (this was pre-retribution, when neutral reppers had near-invulnerability), and who just hung around on grid assuming we wouldn't have the stones to take him out. I got a little buzz of pride when our FC praised me for stepping up and taking one for the team to give the smug git the finger

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? For the same reason they blew your ship up. Did you think they did it for ISK or security?

If it were upto me I would hold a pod ransom and let it go, but people generally don't trust anyone anymore and so pod ransoms are few and far between. I also have developed a weird fetish for pod killing.
Ezekiel Marr Dark Nova Inc. 4	Posted - 2014.04.03 12:05:00 - [42] - Quote Doireen Kaundur wrote: Popping the pod which gets you....nothing. Well, maybe a worthless corpse. Corpses are valuable commodities. They are not sold on market, and don't fall out of rats. In fact, the only way to obtain any is to pop the pod. Any pod that gets away is a lost opportunity to increase your corpse-wealth.

Didn't even read my post, or what? sorry, I missed it. I guess it all depends on circumstances. You are in battle, you are improving your odds of winning Vs a ganker podding a newb for lulz. CONCORD will kill a "ganker" in retribution for unlawful acts of aggression. Capsuleers who engage in Limited Engagements, shoot at War Targets etc are not gankers... they are PvPer's. All gankers are PvP'ing. Not all PvP'ers are ganking. Learn the difference? Psychotic Monk for CSM 9

Qen Tye Ministry of War Amarr Empire 42	Posted - 2014.04.03 12:55:00 - [52] - Quote People do it, because they can. Like the big red button, you put up with a big red warning sign: DO NOT PUSH THE RED BUTTON! Some people will push it, despite the warning, because it's there.

Vol Arm'OOO Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 231	Posted - 2014.04.03 13:05:00 - [53] - Quote Doireen Kaundur wrote: 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. Sometimes. But mostly its to send the person far away and be rid of them. Prevents zerging or scouting. Also there is a potential economic loss to your enemy. Just to give you an example, recently there was a ganker in the hs system next to the lowsec area where I lived. He was preying on the same miners that I prey on. Now he didnt really care about his ships cause he would lose them anyway when he ganked the miners. So I would hang around and wait for concord to blow up his ship then decloak and kill his pod. Since he ran with implants to make the ganking more effective, this was an expensive proposition for him. Havent seem him around lately. Which of course leaves the miners all to me. I don't play, I just fourm warrior.

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? answer is simple. i kill ppl for three main reasons: 1- i want them to get hurt, so they don't come back in the area i live in 2- i like having a lot of green line on my KB 3- i want to be -10 the loot is only a "side effect"(tho this side effect is much appreciated indeed). so i try to kill pods, because if they are expansive to replace (implants + clone) it might hurt the pilot MORE, it DOES add a green line on my KB, and it brings me closer to -10

Sadly, the squish sound hasn't been around for quite a few years. Sadder still, almost no one noticed it was gone. i started playing titanfall just for the squish, i understand the feeling, it really need to be brought back in eve
Zifrian Licentia Ex Vereor Black Core Alliance 1455	Posted - 2014.04.03 13:22:00 - [59] - Quote Because it's a game mechanic that people can do. Simple as that. Why do people mine?

Slade Trillgon Brutor Force Federated 2653	Posted - 2014.04.03 13:31:00 - [60] - Quote Doireen Kaundur wrote: Aralyn Cormallen wrote: 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. best answer yet. 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. You lose a percentage of your highest tiered and skilled skill at pod squish if your clone is not upgraded properly. So there is an additional reason to pop a pod. Just select a celestial and spam warp before your ship pops and, unless you are ina bubble, you should get your pod out most of the time.
