Hamfast Gallente Lightfoot Industries	Posted - 2006.11.03 16:55:00 - [1] First off, I am not talking about being at war... but just the drive-by podding thing... I can see a reason to blast someone elses ship, you get to loot their stuff... that makes sense to me... but why pod them? Is there anything to gain from it? (no, it did not happen to me... yet) Noob in training...

Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.11.03 16:59:00 - [3] 1. Gets them out of local so they don't spend the next 30 minutes smacktalking you and alerting everyone else to your presence. 2. Corpse. 3. Nice squishy sound. 4. Keeps implant prices high. -[23] Member- Awesome new space games site, from the editor of E-ON!
Clone Delta	Posted - 2006.11.03 17:44:00 - [4] 1. because they have fun ruining yours 2. if they are guarding a gate to 0.0 you cannot go into the 0.0 space they are guarding
Easy Target Minmatar Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.11.03 18:19:00 - [5] 1. Cos it is fun 2. cos it costs them more, their rifter may be 300k.. chances are their clone is more 3. It removes their mouth from the system 4. destroys uninsurable implants... 1 and 3 is applied by pirates 2 is applied by war targets 4 is applied by everyone... Originally by: Dark Shikari 1. 3. Nice squishy sound. eve has sound?? :) ----------------------------------------------- No i'm not good... but i have never claimed to be --------------------
Abrivard	Posted - 2006.11.03 20:20:00 - [6] Because pods are ugly. Death to the pods.
Sakura Nihil Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2006.11.03 21:19:00 - [7] Because we can.
Billy Sastard Amarr Zephyr Enterprises Inc. Astral Wolves	Posted - 2006.11.03 21:53:00 - [8] Because 3 weeks ago that b4stard blew up my ship and I want REVENGE!!!!! -=^=- My Bookmarking Guide
Hamfast Gallente Lightfoot Industries	Posted - 2006.11.03 23:31:00 - [9] Ok, so pod killing stops smack talk... so if your ship is blasted you need to be podded or you will start smack talking... I promise I will not smack talk, so please don't pod me... It keeps the cost of implants high, I have yet to pay for an implant so no need to pod me for that... You get a frozen corpse... do Corpsicles taste good? Costing more... Agreed that in a war this matters... a little... but then I have had no real problems earning ISK, so the extra cost would just be an irratant... Because they are ugly... you beat eggs too, so I guess that almost makes sense... Because you can... only if you can catch me and I ain't gonna get that close if I have any say on the issue. As for Revenge... It was not me, I was never there... when I was there I did not shoot and when I shot I did not know what I was shooting at... Noob in training...
Caleb Paine ISS Navy Task Force Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.11.03 23:32:00 - [10] Podding is part of the killing. There's no reason at all to have any emotional bond with a pod. You destroy the ship and then you get the pod. It's the best way to serve someone a nice cup of STFU :) -------------------------------- ISS Navy Task Force; Protecting your interest.
Draconia Blackheart Disciples of the Underverse	Posted - 2006.11.04 00:54:00 - [11] Edited by: Draconia Blackheart on 04/11/2006 00:55:10 Why pod kill? (I don't) but pod-killing people here like to be a***holes... Nuff Said?
Gorek Loc Gallente Fine Art Manufactury	Posted - 2006.11.04 01:54:00 - [12] I have to admit, I would bow to anyone that did not pod-kill me, after a fight! I prolly wouldn't , depends on how the fight went! smack-talk = insta-podkill! As for reasons... I see that implants would play a major part of pod-killing as well as alliance-wars... other than that, plain evil Which is why (up until now) I have avoided low-sectors
Ras Blumin 0utbreak	Posted - 2006.11.04 01:59:00 - [13] Why not? It's only ammo.
Karasu Kaizoku	Posted - 2006.11.04 02:43:00 - [14] Podding is the cherry on top of another successful kill.*
Darksaber64x Ecchi co.	Posted - 2006.11.04 03:48:00 - [15] I personally don't think I'll ever pod... unless they reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly deserve it :D
Hesod Adee	Posted - 2006.11.04 04:35:00 - [16] Another reason is because they refused to pay you the ransom. ----------------- My door is always open, just don't go in.
Miya Kurosawa Caldari White Wolves Defence league The OSS	Posted - 2006.11.04 05:03:00 - [17] When people want to just get some steam off, it's usually to kill someone. Eeesh. Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam Pinoy ako! =) For you Philippine players out there, join us in the Pinoy channel
Gant Stryker AWE Corporation Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.11.04 06:38:00 - [18] Edited by: Gant Stryker on 04/11/2006 06:42:28 Edited by: Gant Stryker on 04/11/2006 06:42:15 Killing the pod makes your 0.0 war target travel 30 jumps to get back to the front. Killing the pod makes them plug in a new set of expensive speed implants for their inty. Killing the pod is adding insult to the injury. Oh yeah.. on the killboards a matched ship and pod set gives nice symmetry.
Dano Sarum Giants in the Playground Black Flag Alliance	Posted - 2006.11.04 07:08:00 - [19] Well, I pirate and well... I don't allways go for the pod, infact I hardly ever do. I gain totally nothing from it, take a big sec hit and all I do is harm the other person... that said if the person **es me off I will (same with wars). Most people do it though purely because they're *holes. It's great being Amarr, aint it?
Benglada Finite Horizon	Posted - 2006.11.04 07:12:00 - [20] Honestly..... You can argue it gets them out of local etc but...... why not pod kill? --------------------------- Originally by: Arkanor 0.0 is the Final Frontier. Bring money and friends.

I can see a reason to blast someone elses ship, you get to loot their stuff... that makes sense to me... but why pod them? Is there anything to gain from it? (no, it did not happen to me... yet) Because the majority of "pirates" are actually just pk's who infect every new MMO like a virus and try to justify their actions in any way they can..."I'm not a murderer, i'm a pirate". I'm all for pvp, corp wars, etc. But random killing should have some consequence. But game companies aren't going to make games that hurt customers, even if those customers get their jollies by hurting others. Delusions of invincibility combined with a strong homicidal urge... I have a kick-your-ass fetish

But game companies aren't going to make games that hurt customers, even if those customers get their jollies by hurting others. If you are not in Concord protected space, chances are you are in someone's claimed space. Even in some parts of highsec, some corps claim a particular system as "theirs" and will work to wardec and harass and steal until all non-members move out. You have to remember Eve is a PvP game. Gathering resources is PVP, industry is PVP, everything revolves are claiming space and doing things to control that space. The mechanics change based on the security rating of the system you are in, but at no time are you "safe." Even in Jita you are not safe.
Caleb Paine ISS Navy Task Force Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.11.04 08:32:00 - [24] I fail to see how podding someone is different from destroying his ship... If you destroy his ship you cost him money and effort to replace it, same thing with podding but for some reason people find that podding is evil or that people who do this eat babies for breakfast... I think people read too many things into someone else's actions. -------------------------------- ISS Navy Task Force; Protecting your interest.
Iced Casing	Posted - 2006.11.04 08:33:00 - [25] because it adds economic balance into the game ... keeps prices decent for implants ... :) and the best way to avoid it is not to play eve ;) ... as for the person that persecuted the PK'ers pls go back to your other mmorpgs where our pitrates are called pk'ers (aka lame games), we like our pirates ... its fun killing eachother thats whats making this game so fun ... they kill you you kill them ... its not like they are invincible ...
Wolfways Minmatar Brutor tribe	Posted - 2006.11.04 10:28:00 - [26] Quote: we like our pirates ... its fun killing eachother thats whats making this game so fun Well other than ignoring the fact that "pirates" kill anyone, not just each other, what you're saying is that your playstyle should be forced on everyone? Which in essence is what a pk does. I have nothing against pvp, i actually love pvp. But when someone kills me i want it to be for a game-related reason, not just to make someone feel better because he killed my character. There are other games made specifically for that. If i wanted to be involved with that kind of gameplay i'd play those games. But in any game where it's possible to kill other characters people will play solely for that reason. I find it quite sad actually... Delusions of invincibility combined with a strong homicidal urge... I have a kick-your-ass fetish
Ishida Akiko Caldari The Carebear Club	Posted - 2006.11.04 10:42:00 - [27] Why not? --- Cool, now go away.
Chrysaetus	Posted - 2006.11.04 11:54:00 - [28] I believe pod killing to be more of an affirmation than a strategy for making money. I have a Pirate alt, and I try to work around killing the pod and making some money. It¦s just an affirmation of power of one player over other, no matter what the excuses are in my humble opinion.

But game companies aren't going to make games that hurt customers, even if those customers get their jollies by hurting others. You really have no idea what you're talking about. A pirate, by definition, kills for personal profit. Podkilling increases that profit by decreasing the odds that the victim will alert all those in the system to the pirate. -[23] Member- Awesome new space games site, from the editor of E-ON!
MrTripps Gallente	Posted - 2006.11.04 14:23:00 - [30] To get rid of an embarrassingly high sec status. Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so. - Bertrand Russell
