Self Destruct needs to be looked into. Currently, any person that is about to be destroyed can just easily click this and just destroy all his loot in a second and leave the predator with nothing (me) =) But this method does go both ways, I used it the last time I lost my raven. Self destruct does nerf pirating.
Now come on guys, I am pirating your way, going around system to system 'working' for my kills, (I really only look for battleships now and look for em) Its just that my last 2 victims that I started a convo with to ransom em just told me to F' off and self destructed with ease.
There should be some penalty or time to Self destruct.. Just like in real life, self destructing something takes time. Here are some suggestions:
- Self destruction voids insurance (No insurance company will pay if they knew you did it on purpose)
- Self destruction will take a certain amount of time to complete and will notify anyone around the ship (say 100km) that it is about to self destruct in a certain amount of time)
- Self destruction of ship includes the self destruction of your pod. ( I dont really like this one but hey its better then its current state)
I personally like the first one and think it should be the nerf for Self Destruction. Anywas thats just my thoughts. I just think its to easy to do this and just get the easy way out and get your insurance and not be penalized for using this feature. Take self destruction of a pod, it takes 2 minutes to do so, but why instantanious for a big battleship? Theres more stuff to a BS then a pod...

Um actually, Insurance companies love us, since there isnt many of us, more people get it 'just incase'. But now since insurance is 12 weeks long, maybe your right there, but this isnt role playing here, im serious about it. Btw, I tried Self destruct on Chaos and Insurance payed out every time.

It shouldnt be ur decision if we get to take your loot or not. IF we have u there, there should be a timer, you could do a short timer and a notification to all players, or a long time that doesnt notify players. But hey, if you want me to start just ganking people again, well im all up for that, i try to give u a chance to a ransom and you spit in my face.

Self-destruction for ships will behave the same as self-destruction for capsules after an upcoming hotfix. It may have made it into todays downtime.
Yay, I love you lickspittle. Thanks

Why do you beleive pirating is risk free. Why do you beleive pirating should be harder. Why do you think we should not be giving a little unnerf if you will, we have been nerfed for 8 months and you are still not happy. Why do you think self destruction should come without any penalty. Why should our role be harder then urs, why should you have it so easy? Who are you to have it so easy? You enter .4 and lower space, you enter a world of risk and thats the way it should be, if you cant handle it, keep your ass in .5 and above, there are plenty of systems that are safe in those security rating systems.

Lickspittle, can you please add a warning for self destruction or a effect? That would be cool, a effect. I mean, im actually saying this for you guys sake, because if theres no warning, well you got a minute to pay the ransom or you die since im afraid of you self destructing.
A suggest would be a warning or a graphic effect on the ship.
Also, if your going to self destruct, then there should be a penalty of not being able to activate any of your modules because your system in real life have to concentrate on the destruction process and shuts down every system in the ship in preperation of the destruction of the ship.

OOO I get it, I get ur whine, your whining because u want to just mine in peace right. As to mining - pirating, mining is more profitable... Dont blame us cause you guys dont bring escorts or defence, thats your own fault. Your a easy target because u let urself be a easy target.

Fine you can have that option as long as it viods insurance. And in real life, it takes time prolly secodns to destroy its modules on a aircraft, but the ships we are in are alot bigger then our real life aircrafts now arent they. So in real life, it would take quite a while to comense the self destruction and alot to blow up the ship and it would require time to clear its blast radius in real life.

K then its settled, you can make self destruct possible in seconds but have it so no insurance is paid, I agree on this more then the current state of self destruct.

Thats fine as long as theres a penalty. Everything has to have a penalty in this game to balance things out.

I have been doing it for all my life and I have alot of skill points and raven. But the question is, am I going to get a ransom today? Not all pay the ransom.
