Robert Denby	Posted - 2007.05.28 21:59:00 - [1] I'm on a wicked fast connection, and no matter what happens, if I lose my ship, I lose my pod. Every time. You never seem to get control before you're scrammed and can warp. Ever. What's up with this?
Kal Ferrin Caldari Darklite inc Darklite Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.28 22:01:00 - [2] you should be trying to warp before ur ship goes boom and then ur pod will take off.
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.05.28 22:03:00 - [3] Edited by: The Pointless on 28/05/2007 22:01:41 Originally by: Kal Ferrin you should be trying to warp before ur ship goes boom and then ur pod will take off. Yep, that's what I do, I target the first (presumably) safe place before my ship goes Kablam! and hammer the Warp button rapidly. Never failed me. ----------------------------------------------- "And I scream in a thousand voices!"
Stakhanov kleptomaniacs	Posted - 2007.05.28 22:18:00 - [4] If you get caught by interceptors , it's not surprising... Lag upon explosion comes from your own hardware. Some people disable effects to reduce it. Most rely on the spam warp trick. Generally , you have more than enough time to warp when killed by a cruiser or bigger.
Damares Flying While Intoxicated The Threshold	Posted - 2007.05.28 22:30:00 - [5] as your going into structure, select a planet or something, then spam the warp to 0 button in overview, as soon as your ship goes pop youll insta warp, you wont escape waiting for your ship to pop the looking for something to warp to then right clicking it....
Cerberal Minmatar Aeden Tau Ceti Federation	Posted - 2007.05.28 22:32:00 - [6] The mashing warp to 0 button also works for me when im in a dictor bubble. Somehow my pod still warps away like it never registered the bubble or something. Weird.

Somehow my pod still warps away like it never registered the bubble or something. Weird. Oh snap, pirate whine about bubbles being biased to teh pods in 5... 4... 3... 11... 6...
Namingway Important Yet Underrated Video Game Characters	Posted - 2007.05.29 02:16:00 - [8] Originally by: Cerberal The mashing warp to 0 button also works for me when im in a dictor bubble. Somehow my pod still warps away like it never registered the bubble or something. Weird. Bug Report?

Thomas Torquemada Minmatar Universal Peace Corp	Posted - 2007.05.29 02:34:00 - [9] the delay will be your loadtime from hd then while you transit from ship to pod, i had terrible delay when i used my old old crap pc, now im all singing and dancing top spec, theres no problems, mind you ive not blown up recently apart from sisi.

Caztra Tor	Posted - 2007.05.29 03:55:00 - [10] Hey, its the best CCP can do.
Linda Rohr	Posted - 2007.05.29 04:18:00 - [11] If you know your ship is going down, you can eject before it gets blown up and warp your pod away. It has never failed me.
Raivi Explosion Matrix	Posted - 2007.05.29 04:25:00 - [12] Try turning off wallet and mail blink. The killmail and insurance payment blinks were the culprit on my machine, since I turned off those two effects I've had no trouble warping out. Explosion Matrix: Nostrum Nomen est Ridiculum
Sirius Problem Darkness Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.29 04:29:00 - [13] Edited by: Sirius Problem on 29/05/2007 04:27:48 What Raivi said. ^^^ Turn off mail and wallet blink notifications. ---- Some people say I have a bad attitude. Those people are stupid.
Lady Beauvoir	Posted - 2007.05.29 08:38:00 - [14] Originally by: Namingway Originally by: Cerberal The mashing warp to 0 button also works for me when im in a dictor bubble. Somehow my pod still warps away like it never registered the bubble or something. Weird. Bug Report? No, works as intended. A bubble stops the warp at the bubble edge and then drags the ship inside the bubble depending on it's inertia. ie. bigger ships go deeper into the bubble. A pod practically instawarps (or has no inertia), thus it warps to the edge of the bubble and is then able to warp out almost immediately.
Xtreem Gallente Research Eagles	Posted - 2007.05.29 08:39:00 - [15] only things that will get u podded are bubbles and uber lag, but they will have lag locking ur pod 2. iv not lost my pod other than to this for several months
Malachon Draco eXceed Inc. INVICTUS.	Posted - 2007.05.29 08:43:00 - [16] Removing the blink thing on wallet and mail is important. Don't ask me why signature removed - please contact us to find out why (include the URL of your sig) - Jacques([email protected])

I love people like you, where do you rat? And what ship type? Just so I can bring an alt in a pod with me to pick it up. We've accumulated 4BS in the last month or so this way, we're loving it
Splagada Minmatar Tides of Silence Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.29 10:30:00 - [18] or autopilot button ------
Radgun Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2007.05.29 10:43:00 - [19] yeah, you gotta spam warp before your hull hits zero
Hugh Ruka Caldari Free Traders Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.05.29 10:48:00 - [20] Blame the client. Ever seen the lag that happend when you open Market ? You literaly freeze in space. Now with a ship destruction, following things happen: 1. kill mail 2. insurance payment 3. session transition (change of ship stats to pod stats) This makes the client go ooomph and behave the same as you open a Market window - freeze. Check that out simple by ejecting from ship and boarding again. You get almost the same 1-2 second lag. Any larger data load makes the client lag/freeze. Actualy there's little you can do. WTZ spam on a preselected object is the only solution. Originally by: JP Beauregard The experience with Exodus playtesting has scarred me for life. Those were bug-reports, not feature requests, you numbskulls....
prsr Gallente JuBa Corp Vigilance Infinitas	Posted - 2007.05.29 11:00:00 - [21] Your connection speed is pretty much irrelevant to EVE as soon as you get above 56k modem speeds. Response times might be relevant in some situations but no guarantee at anything, i have a response time around 25ms to the EVE cluster and it really doesn't help much. Especially not when i am shot out of my ship, the client will reload all kinds of useless stuff and freeze during the time you normally have to warp your pod out. If you are lucky the freeze won't interfere with warping out, usually it does. This problem has existed since forever though. The only trick i try to use is to select a warpable object before my ship blows up and spam the warp-to icon before, during and after the explosion. -- .sig apathy ftw

Sokratesz Paradox v2.0 1 Shot 1 Kill	Posted - 2007.05.29 11:19:00 - [23] Edited by: Sokratesz on 29/05/2007 11:19:03 Originally by: Caletha Reborn We've accumulated 4BS in the last month or so this way, we're loving it Yer that raven served me well Ejecting is for the less-intelligently endowed. If youre in a bubble your dead anyways. If youre not, you can always make it out. Questions? Originally by: Marquis Dean Yeah I know. But I was in the shower.
Gaven Blands	Posted - 2007.05.29 11:23:00 - [24] Hi Robert. There is a broken mechanism you can use*. Like they said already, just before you pop, spam Warp To <something>. When you come out you insta-warp. They can't even try to lock you as you come out invulnerable to locking. Eventually your enemies stop bringing pod catching ships though. Which just means more full combat ships you'll be facing from the outset. It's a bit depressing to have zero chance to lock a pod, but meh... they don't drop loot, and my morgue has the only corpse in it that I actually wanted. Eve: Cheats prosper.
Amantus Gallente Murientor Tribe Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2007.05.29 11:25:00 - [25] One easy tactic for getting your pod out is to select a warpable object in space before you die and then just spam that button as your ship goes down in flames. You pod will warp out straight away unless you're in a bubble. ------------
Janu Hull Caldari Order of Z Industries	Posted - 2007.05.29 11:31:00 - [26] I usually eject at about halfway through my hull. Has worked all but once. This is my sig, there are many others just like it. With me, my sig is worthless. Without (or with even) my sig, I am worthless...
Azirapheal Amarr Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.05.29 11:35:00 - [27] ejecting only works on a plated ship - since you can guarantee its only your skills holding it together when its at 10% structure Yarrr sig nerf Thanks, Hango Hango touched me in the night I also stole all of your socks. He gave me the clean ones. -Rauth-he lied
Princess Trinity Astro Tech N Trade	Posted - 2007.05.29 11:36:00 - [28] You want to know how to survive? If you are 100% sure you are going down, EJECT before your ship blows up, and warp away with the POD Everyone will be shooting your ship and too busy to care about the POD on the overview. And don't worry, they wont get your ship, they wont notice you left until its too late and even if they yell hold fire, theres always some idiot that doesnt
Vasiliyan SURF Industries	Posted - 2007.05.29 12:31:00 - [29] Turn off wallet and personal evemail blinking, that helps a lot.
PCaBoo Dirt Nap Squad FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.29 13:20:00 - [30] Align somewhere, click on it and spam warp. At the very least, you'll get your pod out. At the very luckiest, your opponent may run out of cap or drop scram, in an attempt to go after your pod and you'll warp away. If you've got multiple pts on you, warp to a moon. ________________________________ Caldari's are the Chosen people!
Sokratesz Paradox v2.0 1 Shot 1 Kill	Posted - 2007.05.29 17:35:00 - [31] Lol @ these people boasting about ejecting from their ships. Moar free vessels pls! Originally by: Marquis Dean Yeah I know. But I was in the shower.
FarScape III	Posted - 2007.05.29 17:53:00 - [32] Originally by: Caletha Reborn Originally by: Linda Rohr If you know your ship is going down, you can eject before it gets blown up and warp your pod away.

We've accumulated 4BS in the last month or so this way, we're loving it why do you have to hope someone ejects? That is stupid. Just ransome them and tell them to eject and let them go and get every ship. But then again I guess they might say go ahead and kill me. A Minmater City... Cool! My Stats :)
FarScape III	Posted - 2007.05.29 17:55:00 - [33] Originally by: Sokratesz Lol @ these people boasting about ejecting from their ships. Moar free vessels pls! So your saying they are fools? And so I guess you suggest they do not do it? To be cool? I just hate it when people put down others, it is lame. Can't you be tactful? A Minmater City... Cool! My Stats :)
Alora Venoda Caldari GalTech	Posted - 2007.05.29 18:15:00 - [34] i find it odd that nobody mentioned ctrl-Q yet (yeah i know it's lame). it should insta-warp out your POD as soon as your ship pops. question about ejecting: do you still get your insurance if they blow up your ship? does your insurance void if someone else steals it after you eject? ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless. Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application.
Leonardo Sabrioski Caldari Aydin Tech	Posted - 2007.05.29 18:17:00 - [35] Originally by: FarScape III Originally by: Sokratesz Lol @ these people boasting about ejecting from their ships. Moar free vessels pls! So your saying they are fools? And so I guess you suggest they do not do it? To be cool? I just hate it when people put down others, it is lame. Can't you be tactful? Well, for one thing the target(victim) doesn't receive insurance if he is ejected and the aggressor stops shooting. So lets say you're in a raven... and u hit eject at something percent structure... shooter stops firing... you won't get insurance on that ship. AND HE gets the ship/loot/insurance of the ship. Hence why ejecting from your ship is a bad and (stupid) idea. ----------------------------------------------
Reithan Caldari Zero Team	Posted - 2007.05.29 18:47:00 - [36] If you hit "Self-Destruct" BEFORE you eject, the ship will blow up after the countdown regardless. So, once you're sure you're gonna die, hit Self-Destruct, THEN Eject and run.
Yuleth Gix	Posted - 2007.05.29 18:59:00 - [37] Originally by: Reithan If you hit "Self-Destruct" BEFORE you eject, the ship will blow up after the countdown regardless. So, once you're sure you're gonna die, hit Self-Destruct, THEN Eject and run. Do you collect insurance?
Aslann Gallente Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.05.29 19:24:00 - [38] Edited by: Aslann on 29/05/2007 19:23:37 Originally by: Reithan If you hit "Self-Destruct" BEFORE you eject, the ship will blow up after the countdown regardless. So, once you're sure you're gonna die, hit Self-Destruct, THEN Eject and run. Not when they board it and turn it off, and even if they fail at turning the self destruct off they'll get the insurance money.

Not when they board it and turn it off, and even if they fail at turning the self destruct off they'll get the insurance money. In other words... Just be patient and spam warp to some celestial object... Plus I do believe docking/jumping through a gate cancels out the self-destruct sequence ----------------------------------------------
Laboratus Gallente BGG League of Abnormal Gentlemen	Posted - 2007.05.30 14:33:00 - [40] Edited by: Laboratus on 30/05/2007 14:33:21 Either just hammer the warp button. Pods instawarp, so you should get away before they can load your pod. Or. Eject and start hammering the warp button. They need to deactivate scramblers, wait until module deactivates, click your pod to lock it, select your pod, and only then will they be able to scramble it. Usually, you are 2-3 seconds gone before they manage to do it. And most of the time your ship goes boom and you get insurance (since calling off drones and getting everyone to deactivate guns takes a while. Usually too long... Oh, right. Remember to set your default warp to distance to something else than 0km. Ceptors warp faster than you do, and as such will be waiting for you if you do warp there. ___ P.S. Post with your main. Mind control and tin hats
