Midslot Module
30 CPU, 1 PG
Range: 5km
Activation Cost: 5 GJ
Cycle Time: 5 seconds
The module interferes with the target ship's capsule ejection system, preventing operation in the case of ship destruction. The end result is that the pilot is "podded" when his/her ship is destroyed, assuming the module is activated at the time.
Reasons:
1. Allows pilots to be more permanently removed from fleet fights when they are destroyed, preventing quickly reshipping.
2. Allows more interesting piracy activities, as you can now leverage your target's pod against their bank account.
Balance: Takes up a midslot, which is usually pretty valuable on every fit, so it wouldn't be an auto-include on every fit. Plus, the short activation range requires the targeting ship to be close to the target, so a fleet couldn't just bring one designated "podder" to pod every primary target. |

I do not quite get the point of that module. If the pilot gets insta podded upon ship destruction, they are immediately back home and can reship even quicker.
Whereas, with the current system, you can keep a pod on grid indefinitely if pointed or in a bubble, but at the very least stalled for 2 minutes until they self-destruct. Or they need to travel home to reship, which takes more time.
On the other hand, if this module prevented people from ejecting via right click menu, you could keep them longer in their ship... but they could also shoot you longer. In essence, I do not really see the point of this module. vOv

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Even if it just kept them from right click ejecting the weapons timer already does that

If you want pods removed, ask for pods to be removed. Don't ask for a module that guarantees a podkill 100% of the time because you can't be bothered to work for it. |

Besides all the other no reasons given.
No because the ability to eject and warp away to prevent you from getting the pod kill mail is a valid mechanic.

Right, I actually here of more players that run expensive pods in nul when ratting etc than I hear about in high sec.,something about the ease of spotting trouble in your local chat channel that seems to make this possible. But whatever.

Most people in HS would never get podded so we don't know if they bling it or not. |

This. if you get bubbled then your losing your pod and ship, which i pretty similar to what the op proposes, lowsec, no bubbles so you have a chance to get a pod out so people risk shiney pods, you dont see null pvpers running around in hg snake sets because it dies to the first cloaky sabre

The only way this would even be considered not completely broken was if it gimped your fitting/cap to fit it and only fits on BS.
So like:
100CPU
1000PG
2.5km
1000GJ
1 minute cycle time that also means YOU are unable to receive remote reps, warp, leave your ship, etc (like entosis), regardless of whether you manage to activate it on a ship.
Small % chance of the module having a feedback and destroying your ship and pod depending on the difference between the value of your pod and theres (so basically if you have an empty head you are more likely to explode than if you had HG implants in).
That way it is a tactical decision to use it.
You know the person has HG implants and want to cause them financial damage then put your ship and implants on the line to get them.
Basically your idea is really silly and would be mainly used by people in lowsec camping gates in insta-locking stuff to get more shiny KM's with no risk to yourselves. As your 'balance' is not a balance, one of your dudes would drop a sensor booster to fit it.
If you want to kill peoples pods; smartbomb people.
Actually I quite like the feedback idea to destroy your own pod. You use a module like this to destroy someone's pod in a ship without actually destroying the ship, but the draw back is fitting/cap usage (BC's/BS's only) as well as consuming your own pod. Your pod is always lost but the other persons pod is lost based on % chance which is modified depending on the cost of the implants (more they are worth the less chance your pod will explode; the more yours are worth the higher the chance of destroying theirs). 30 second module time and the effect happens at the end, which would pretty much mean its useless in highsec, except against war targets or people who have timers. If they pull out of range or break lock, you still die!
It would still be a horrible module and I really would hope CCP are smart enough not to even entertain the idea, but at least my idea has some real 'balance' to it. Was a nice distraction for 10 minutes. |

Came hoping for a module that kicked risk averse players out of stations/docking range - Left totally disappointed and on the verge of quitting eve. |
