It's also economically a good idea to kill pods, because you diminish the assets and perhaps morale of a group that isn't yours. Power and wealth are relative. If you feel confident the consequences of the killright you recieve are worth a podkill, sec stat drops will hardly stop people. Sec stat gains are a side effect of PVE anyway. |

Does it build community? WTF? Are you stoned?
By the way, yes it hardens players, but most importanty killing a pod on your grid while you are yellow flashy prevents their friends from warping on the pod to return fire. You are welcome. |

Probably less their resources than yours, since you'll want tags to repair your sec status. Unless you are one of those "the dog tags i loot are free" hippies. /Fÿ¡
You didn't get the point I'm afraid. With a side-effecf of PVE I mean normal sec gains and the fact one cannot go below -10 makes sec status a very controllable problem with fixed barriers. Apart from that killing a pod does not always come with a sec drop. Remember it is entirely legal (CONCORD-wise) to kill a pod from someone with whom you have a Limited Engagement. If you are flashy and get attacked by someone, you can defend yourself and kill this pilots pod with impunity. There als also wardecs and other mechanics allowing for COCORD-sanctioned pod slaughter.
Hence "you'll want tags to repair your sec status" is a false assumption. I sell most of the tags I obtain. |
