Do these actually exist?
And if I had them - I would throw wet towels at whomever had me locked. That always works.

No dirty things with Gallenteans ;) Mainly because its total unrealistic and looks like EVE Mon trolling.
If theres something like this, you are a Dev if you have it and could spawn a new one

Edited by: Lord Evangelian on 17/02/2008 12:50:07 Honestly, was just thinking along the idea of if you had some heavy expensive implants, whats the most you would do to protect them...Im not intending to troll. If I am lock the thread and well speak no more on teh matter...It was just for honest discussion really...
The forum is full of "Nerf This", "Buff That", no one really does things like this anymore and actually discusses the game. I was just making a scenario to discuss... --------------------

Well; that implant would of course mean I would not be caught in a Pod; Polaris ships are practically indestructible!

Replacement cost of clone + implants is what I'll pay as a ransom. Limited of course, by the fact I may not have the liquidty to cover this - it's unusal for me to have much in my wallet.
Same's true of ships - I'll pay how much it costs to replace and fit a ship, but no more.
On the very few occasions I've been ransomed, the request has been for a ludicrous sum. I guess the pirate doesn't care much of ransom vs. killmail, but ... really, for someone wanting to make a business out of ransoming, set your ransom to hull - insurance + T2 fit, and then you'll get people paying.
Asking them for 500mil because they're a 3 year old character, and they _might_ have snakes in, is IMO a bit silly. -- Crane needs more grid 249km locking? |

Edited by: Laura Steel on 17/02/2008 14:03:56 Well if you offer a lot or are really nervous about getting podded and show it in your type they would probably pod you anyway.
If they are planning to pod you are dead anyway.
If they are ransoming you, you would simply pay what they ask and hope they honour it.
Just dont get caught :P
Edit: I would destroy the last 5 implants, and use the attribute ones to train all the skills I want manually. Then I would have all the skills and no need for attribute ones anyway(though I wouldnt destroy them) ----

If you don't ask...you don't get.
As for the OP...as there is no way of scanning for implant values one has to make best-educated guess as to potential. If it's a beta-aged character the sky is the limit and being fairly cheeky I would probably ask 500-1 billion for the pod for ****s n giggles...especially if caught flying something like a speed-fit anything.
Of course if the ISK was handed over without reservation I would seriously have a heart attack .
Sadly...most of the time the high SP players (2003-2004) have been bought and sold so many times that the current owners are clueless/broke and either fail to respond to ransom convos or just don't have the ISK. Lot of dead implants around methinks .

We catch most of these anyway. And when they ctl-Q while under attack the ole pod just zips away 999999999 meters and gives everyone a chance to be on the podmail 30 seconds later.

Edited by: kahtankah on 17/02/2008 16:03:49 log in, repeat ctrl + Q before warp initiates, log in again repeat.
try it, maybe you will figure out the timing and see what happens.
also, you missed the first part about before pvp aggro, this is low sec after all, and mechanics work a wee bit different
just sayin

And if you dont pay them they'll just go away? :P
Free tip: they dont CARE if you dont pay them YAY purty explosions and a ****ed off goon

Firstly, I would have a Jump Clone situated in a far away place and never use the gunnery ones in the first place.
But for sake of arguement, I would claim they had sentimental value from a fiend who passed away and offer 5 Billion isk through Chibbra as a third party, that would be enough for most pirates I think, they get 5B and the respect of having gotten 5B while his friends may just have a corpse.

Minerva got a point though. If you had SUCH implants, you would have to be a dev from the start of, or some very very very goooooooood Dev contacts....
So yeh. I would ask my dev buddy for another set too

This is the most sensible Answer in regards to the use of teh implants....Put in the first 5 as they make training Ubar, then once complete You put in the last 5...
Although, no one is actually saying what they would do to avoid certain death...

If I had trained all the skills I wanted, by sitting in a station with +30 atribute implants for a couple of months, not having all 10 of those implants would no longer matter as I would have nothing to train :)
Which would mean I could go through multiple certain death situations without any worries.
If I actually did get caught in my Pod, and for some reason still needed the implants. I would try; "20mil to let me go, my medical station is far away :( "
They would probably ask for more isk, in which case I would leave a few seconds before 'reluctantly' giving in. If they are intent on podding you then the question of surviving is rather moot. ----

Nothing 'cause with that stuff in my possession I would have already pretty much won the game anyway Can you imagine a kill mail with YOUR NAME listing THOSE ITEMS !!! You'd remain famous even long after EVE's gone.

This, cuz anyone on tranq who is not a dev or in any other way related to ccp should not even have these if they were real to begin with.
But on a side note, seeing how relativily cheap +5's are now, mebbe it is time ccp released some others.
