DON'T PAY RANSOMS. EVER. TAKE THE SHIP DESTRUCTION LIKE A MAN. AND ALWAYS SAY "GF", they love that. 
Maybe it is cheaper to pay the ransom than it is to buy new implants etc. on your own dime! At Klepto we always honour a ransom. Occasionally we ransom ships but it's mainly pods so losing the ship thing isn't really relevant is it, the ship is usually a wreck at that point. If you had 100mil or more of implants and an expensive clone would you really prefer to lost it all rather than pay 50mil? Takes all sorts I suppose. We do like a good fight actually. Alpha
never knew klepto took ransoms thought it was just gank all day long..... anyway most of the time pods dont get caught unless your pc freezes or your incredibly stupid..... --------------------------------------------- no sig for you !!! |

Name and shame tbh!
Oh, if you dont want to pay a ransom then dont, most pirates are happy to have the kill mail although ISK is always welcome. I have no worries about selling loot of ships. Log my alt on in work and move it around selling it. No trouble at all. ISK gained from loot = sweeter imo when it has the blood of the pilot on it

Don't listen to this guy, us a**hats will certainly (for the most part) let you go, then everyone is happy. You don't have to waste your time warping all over the universe to replace and rekit your ship, and it usually saves you money to boot, and the pirate is appeased. -Karlemgne
Phht. Yeah, pay them to gank you. If you can't afford to lose it, don't fly it, right?
Do you really want to beg for your life with some dudes epeen in your mouth? "mpphhff ransom mumphhf slurp!" How's that taste? Like scabby, unwashed epeen, that's how.
If you're gonna lose a fight, lose the fight and take the lesson, no matter what the cost. If you beg someone not to kill you, you are weak and you deserve what you get. Let them have the killmail, the mods, whatever, but don't freaking beg them to take your money.
Just don't forget to LOL in their face on your way to the station. 
Edited out the stilted language.
OMG you're such a spaz.
Firstly, since when does accepting a ransom offer constitute as begging?
"50mil to keep your ship" "ok paid" "you're free to go"
Doesn't sound much like begging to me.
If i was flying a ship worth 2bil and was offered a 500mil ransom then hell i'll take it. doesn't make me weak it means i have a brain in my head and can do simple maths.
And why do u 'LOL' as you say you do on the way to the station, you've just been killed and a dirty piwate is looking through ur belongings taking what he needs and disregarding the rest when u could have saved ur ship by using ur head but chose not to for some sort of strange feeling of pride.
Tell me what has more pride
Flying away in your ship after negotiating your release.
or
Flying away in your little pod with ur stuff scattered around space or maybe even worse leaving your corpse in space for all to see you got pwnd

Good thing aswell DE is that why never had to pay for the stuff he has lost. We popped his ship (Which had to pay for and some how get the ISK) and pick the mods worth anything (Again, he had to pay)
So, while your off laughing, we laughing thanks to the free stuff (Minus the minor costs of ammo)

I don't mind dying, I don't even mind losing a faction BS, but I hate it when people are just such low-lifes that they can't even honor a basic agreement. |

Just for curiousity's(sp) sake, what ship were you in and what was he in? Also, what were you doing in lowsec in a ship worth upwards of 1.2b that can't kill a lone pirate?
I agree what he did was wrong, but this situation seems kind of odd.

As someone who's paid & been ganked (was only a rupie when I was a few weeks old, better to learn this lesson early and cheap) I will *never* pay a ransom again.
Why pay twice for an evemail of 'HAHA NOOB I PWNZORED YOU AND YOUR WALLET'? There's absolutely no reason to take the chance. Prats pewpew each other for fun as is, it's not like 'shame' is any additional motivation.
Assuming I do get caught in lowsec in a ship worth ransoming the temptation to take the hundreds of M and then pop the ship and hope for a few more hundred M in loot is not something I'm willing to gamble the prat will resist.
Eat the loss, learn the lesson, spend the money you'd have spent on ransom on a good merc corp.

Sheesh. Do you even think I'd convo someone while still in the battle was still in the balance? No, I'd lost before I even convo'd and surrendered to him.

Smart Pirate, collected the ransom and destroyed the ship to loot some extra profit. Most carebears and victims don't read this board anyway so why should he care what other pirates think. As long as he gets away with it and has fun doing it why not?

I lost a caracal to a pirate after ransoning him... I paid 5 million isk, not much I know, but I'm 2-3weeks old (what was I doing in 0.4 you say? just a few rats to test weapons) He got me in a harpy, it took a while... so I paid him, it was my first encounter with a pirate so I thought, hm now I saved my caracal =D BOOM!... grr so I told my corp he's got to die, we made a team and we hunt him down, we got him but just before we actually saw him on the scanner, he transferred that 5 million back, pretty funny actually... we still popped his ship...

I logged on earlier and straight away was convod..
'blah blah im flying through blah in unfitted tempest but had to log off, can I pay 50m to live and return on my journey and get through your camp'
On inspecting our killboard and talking with the guys in current camp I find out he had indeed logged and already lost his tempest... with this in mind I said..
'sure, pay the isk we wont shoot your tempest when you login' and after borrowing the iskies form a corp mate I was 50m isk richer.
When he logged in we didn't shoot his pest (it was alreasy dead), we did however smartbomb his pod as it warped to gate and of course were 50m richer.
So endeth the story lmfao

but looking at your sig, you like to **** of people alot more. and that was his point say GF and make the opposition think, they didnt **** you off.
i think its strange... and i really dont get it... whats the point of ****ing somebody off, you will never get to know? i mean, blow up their ship because of the loot, because of the thrill, but why ffs do you need to make somebody angry?
everytime i try a lil pirating, the people i blow up assume prematurely i only do it to **** them off... must be because of the c&p forums...

well first off i've never paid a ransom that i was offered. secondly if i'm in a ship that has weapons fitted i'm going to go down fighting and then thank whoever attacked me for the fun of it and write off my loses. If i'm in a ship without any weapons (hauler/miner) then i know i'm out there and in danger but hell that's the fun of it isn't it? Every death that i've taken, i've taken like a man and told the pirate to just kill me as he's not going to get any money out of me, at which point we usually thank each other for the fun and i end up back at a station.
There is one thing i keep repeating to myself. It is only a game.
