Well, I screwed up. For the benefit of all, I am a total complete and utter idiot and deserved what I got. I knew the rules, played and lost 640,000skp last night through my own total pure idiocy.
I am not trying to make excuses for myself.
However I have an opinion on the mechanic. That opinion is that its without warning, vindictive, negative to the pvp nature of the game, outdated and should be changed.
I just dont see how it adds to anything in what is already a brutal game.
Please, if a dev sees this let me know your opinion on how this is a sensible (or balanced) game feature. |

Iain Cariaba I see your point but if you look in your own people whoever they are, lots have made this mistake. To lose your biggest skills is huge. 2 weeks for me.
PVP especially in frigs your pod might as well go pop with the ship, this is just fact.
Would you complain if you were warned on trying to undock rather than had a flashy med icon?
Would that alter your game experience, have a negative effect on anyone or really cause harm in any way, shape or form?

Most pods I lost involved no chance to get out, some, you have a blank clone and just want to get back faster..
The thread is about whether its a sensible game mechanic.
Where are you on this? |

Direct question, do you think losing skill points for not updating pod is sensible? |

"Before you ask why, I will tell you. The reason losing SP for not updating clone is a sensible mechanic is because if a pilot flies in PvP without implants, which many do, then there would be zero penalty for losing a pod. As it currently sits, the penalty for losing an update clone is the loss of implants, if any, and the loss of the isk to reupdate the clone. This upgrade cost gets progressivly steeper as you accumulate more and more SP."
Thanks for the answer, and i see your point but is the penalty not losing the ship?
And is the penalty for using implants not losing the implants?
Why go to skill points, its just unnecessary. If your point stands why even have clones?
At the very least warn an undocking pilot should be warned.
"It's sensible and acts as an isk sink on top of that."
How much would you pay to not lose an integral skill off your toon? I m guessing a billion. I would have paid that price right away.
