Tobias Xiaosen	Posted - 2008.02.07 17:21:00 - [1] Ok, I'll get to the point. My character is just over 2 weeks old, and I had a cruiser. I lost it in low sec, now im out of a bunch of isk, yadda yadda yadda, whatever. I'm not complaining, I was in low sec, I was fair game. Problem is I was also pod killed, and I really don't know why. First, I had no bounty on my head, so killing my pod was really more a waste of ammo than anything. Secondly, i'm just over two weeks old: if I have any implants, they're not going to be better than +1. My question is this: what could motivate a pirate (as it was in this case) to pod kill me in this sort of situation? It's like you're in a fight in RL, you lost, the fight's over, you give in, and stop trying to hit the person your fighting. They then proceed to kick you in balls for no apparent reason. Is there any reason? Is it just to **** me off? Is it for some kind of sadistic pleasure?

Kehmor Caldari PAK	Posted - 2008.02.07 17:28:00 - [5] Well it was probably just for the lolz, a good reason in its own right. But a logical explination is there were other potential targets in the area. They didn't want you to have a chance to warn people in local chat. PAK is recruiting!

That is all there is to it. also who knows maybe you had cybernetics 4 and had a full rogue set How would I afford it though? Besides, if I could, it would mean I probably bought isk, which in this case, coming to the forums would be just stupid.

Shar Tegral > However some players still do all they can to test to see if they can recapture the thrill of that noise. Ok, so I guess some nostalgic, sadistic ***s are trying to relive the old sound* then?

Lubomir Penev interimo	Posted - 2008.02.07 17:40:00 - [9] Originally by: Tobias Xiaosen Problem is I was also pod killed, and I really don't know why. It's not like people don't use noob chars as bait, your pod could be used as a warpin for a gang that would blow up the pirate. So, as obviously he doesn't care about sec status better safe than sorry and pod everything in sight. -- Heat, easy to burn your mods by mistake, hard to get it to work when you need it the most. Well designed interface CCP!
Tobias Xiaosen	Posted - 2008.02.07 17:40:00 - [10] Originally by: Kehmor Well it was probably just for the lolz, a good reason in its own right. But a logical explination is there were other potential targets in the area. They didn't want you to have a chance to warn people in local chat. Ok, that at least makes sense. Not being able to warn people = more pirate profit. Fair enough, I think that works.

Ursula LeGuinn Versus Gloria Omnis	Posted - 2008.02.07 17:45:00 - [12] Edited by: Ursula LeGuinn on 07/02/2008 17:45:55 People will pod you for any reason (or none in particular), to cause you additional losses, add your corpse to their collection, hear that satisfying screeching sound, or just plain out of spite. That's just the way it is, unfortunately. EDIT: The people giving you reasons are just throwing you a bone. Believe me, people WILL pod you just for the lulz. ________________
Wind Ictiva Delta Kappa Gamma	Posted - 2008.02.07 17:53:00 - [13] how often do we get these posts? they should really sticky a thread called "why the bad men killed your pod" or alternatively, the first time you get pod killed you receive an evemail saying, "so they killed your pod. dont worry, its not personal and their reasons may vary" Originally by: Admiral Love Hmm creating a thread like this is perhaps a little like sitting naked with bleeding balls in a pool of piranhas. I Won't do it again - most of you guys are pretty nasty.

And under each a little plauge with your name date of death, and the name of your exhummer. Then, when our WAR Target comes to visit to "Peace" talk, they can see the proff of our prowess in battle. And tremble
Stuart Price Caldari Havoc Inc Blood Blind	Posted - 2008.02.08 08:46:00 - [15] There are many reasons pirates kill the pod: 1. Other potential targets tend to get spooked by pods moving in the opposite direction to them at gates. 2. It makes a funky noise. 3. It stops any local smacktacularness. 4. My victim might be a long way from home and so might appreciate a faster trip back. We're all heart. 5. Shooting the corpse makes and even funkier noise. 6. There's always someone that locks pods with weapons running hot despite the FC screaming 'RANSOM!'. "I got soul but I'm not a soldier"
Tzar'rim Minmatar Reckless Corsairs	Posted - 2008.02.08 09:54:00 - [16] It's simply a part of the kill, makes a nice sound and becauase they can. That about sums it up. You should have no 'emotional attachment' to your pod, there's no reason for that. RECOR is looking for a few aspiring team PVPers The chronicles of RECOR
Wu Jiun	Posted - 2008.02.08 11:46:00 - [17] If you've lost nothing why are you complaining? I can't understand how some people have such a deep relationship to their pods. I mean you wake up in a new one after all. Also when i started my cov ops alt the first thing i did was training the needed skills and plug a set of +3 into his head. He probably wasn't even a week old when he got those. Support the introduction of pod scanners so we can see if the case calls for a ransom! (or would ship scanners on a pod show implants? never tried :) Also the security hit on killing a pod is always appreciated.
Nama Saya Chickens with an Attitude No Law	Posted - 2008.02.08 11:47:00 - [18] Originally by: Surfin's PlunderBunny Pods make a cool squishy noise they do indeed
Dez Affinity Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2008.02.08 12:03:00 - [19] I always used to pod people so they couldn't whine in local and tell everybody else I was pirating. I also used to pod people because they weren't clever enough to warp away their pod within 10 seconds. _______________
Caztor Pollux Genos Occidere	Posted - 2008.02.08 12:12:00 - [20] I would pod you just because its fun and in the hope you would forget to update your clone and get podded again. Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.
Arkanstar Caldari Naughty People The Gurlstas Associates	Posted - 2008.02.08 13:12:00 - [21] Why shouldn't I pod you? You're here in my system, and you need to leave. Plus that -12.5% sec status pushes me closer to -10.0.
Poreuomai Minmatar Naval Protection Corp Combined Planetary Union	Posted - 2008.02.08 13:24:00 - [22] It counts as an extra kill if they pod you, so it's an extra kill mail for very little effort.

Leon Blue Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2008.02.08 15:39:00 - [25] Edited by: Leon Blue on 08/02/2008 15:41:51 I've been a bit bored and camped a gate in oursulaert(sp?) to see if I can gank pods in my Incursus before Concord shows up. No pods so far. Edit: Even considering to train destroyer to do just that tonight...
Corstaad	Posted - 2008.02.08 16:01:00 - [26] I had moment of nice a few weeks back where I didn't pod a newer player because he had some good answers in are private chat/ransom attempt. That said not 10 mins after that my ransom attempt on another somehow went to local chat and the newbie said "don't worry he won't pod you".
Agent Li Caldari Galactic Defence Consortium BLACKHAWK FEDERATION	Posted - 2008.02.08 17:01:00 - [27] I thought people podded you so that they could get epic lulz when the victim complained on the forums... ------------------ Let me show you around. That's my lab table, and this is my workstool. And over there is my intergalactic spaceship. And here's where I keep assorted lengths of wire.
Redbad Minmatar Tempered Steel Legion	Posted - 2008.02.08 19:20:00 - [28] It is actually pretty difficult to loose a pod in low-sec. Especially in smaller engagements. You need to react faster Tobias. RB
Kane Rizzel NovaKane Incorporated Derek Knows Us	Posted - 2008.02.08 22:18:00 - [29] Originally by: Agent Li I thought people podded you so that they could get epic lulz when the victim complained on the forums... this... and the hatemail, I love me some hatemail Originally by: High Sierra note to self: dont ever say anything to anyone on the internet about anything ever again.
Stakhanov Metafarmers	Posted - 2008.02.08 22:45:00 - [30] Originally by: Tobias Xiaosen Is it for some kind of sadistic pleasure? Sometimes yes , when you hate the victim for various reasons. For most pirates though , podkills feel like mere bonus points in their game. It becomes a matter of principle to try and catch pods , that is how we play Eve. It's grief duty , the pirate creed. Still , the squishy sound never gets old to me Originally by: ivan draco we didnt want your post anyway
M'ing Pai The Really Awesome Players	Posted - 2008.02.08 23:32:00 - [31] Back in my younger days, I'd play Diablo II in hardcore mode and collect ears from the poor slobs I PK'd. Now I collect corpsicles. Inside every pod is a corpsicle just dying to get out.
tek tek Gallente	Posted - 2008.02.09 00:13:00 - [32] Originally by: Tobias Xiaosen Is there any reason? Is it just to ** me off? Is it for some kind of sadistic pleasure? It's not about you. Unless you are being a real * then it might be. But its kinda like, a finishing move you know. Like when mortal kombat first came out with the kill moves. Same kinda thing. Its never really personal unless my target makes it that way, and then I will milk it for all its worth and then squish. Lead follow or get the hell out of the way!**
Le Skunk Low Sec Liberators	Posted - 2008.02.09 00:20:00 - [33] Its a game Why when a footbale team is 10 - 0 up with 1 min to go, do they try to get another goal. Its a game SKUNK
Poreuomai Minmatar Naval Protection Corp Combined Planetary Union	Posted - 2008.02.09 00:51:00 - [34] Edited by: Poreuomai on 09/02/2008 00:53:11 Then getting away in your pod is like scoring the 10:1 and spoiling the goal keeper's clean sheet for the match.
Tobias Xiaosen Gallente Autus Imperial	Posted - 2008.02.09 08:23:00 - [35] I didn't realize this was such a popular topic Ok, i get it. part of the game, the pirates way of "getting the high score" so to speak. Not to mention this squishy sound. And no, I didn't make it personal, i didn't say anything to them actually. Oh, BTW, to all of you who thought i'm just some lousy carebear, think again. My character is based solely on fighting...its just that with less than 1.5 mil sp, that doesnt mean much.
Poreuomai Minmatar Naval Protection Corp Combined Planetary Union	Posted - 2008.02.09 11:00:00 - [36] Well then, at some point you will be explaining to noobs why you blew up their pod.
