This info wouldn't lead to more pod killing. Combat would be business as usual
What would change is more people smacktalking their victims when they see something expensive. This already happens a lot to me when I fly faction fit battleships in PvP, normal people suddenly get the urge to say something nasty just cause some guy was flying something expensive. With implants listed on podkill mails, it'll be exact same thing.

This information will not change the way people fight.
Does this information have any usefulness besides additional excuse to taunt your enemies?
Normally I'm all for extra info, but I receive enough hate mail for just losing faction mods in pvp, I don't want to hear more crap about my implants.

Sure it will change the way people fight, if the implant doesn't show up only you know it was lost and quietly take satisfaction in knowing what your enemy doesn't; namely that he destroyed more than he think he did. As far the kb is concerned, no implants were lost and your ratio remains intact--given the scope and power of fullgrade sets this isn't a minor advantage or sum of isk you lose when podded and you know that very well.
Given that pos mods were converted to mails for the attackers for no other reason than consistency, there is no valid reason not to extend this consistency toward implants given that rigs appear as well.
The issue with you and having snakes has long been a foregone conclusion, when you fly nothing but officer and fully faction machs, its pretty clear you're implanted and a high value target. If you're worried about being harangued on your killboard by ernest and friends, disable comments or don't use snakes.
The kill/death ratio is uneffected. Only the isk ratios are effected.
When I lost 4 billion isk ship in PvP, the killboards list it as only a few hundred mil loss. I often notice how badly killboards deal with prices of nonstandard items. It wouldn't be surprising if killboards listed Snake Omega as 100,000 isk loss.
And I don't get hatemail from friendlies. It's always some hostiles who see me in local and are forced into hiding, I guess they feel a bit angry that I came to disturb their peace and that they can't attack me, so they attack with words from safety. Just your regular smack talk stuff.

What I'm saying is that implants on podmails can only lead to additional smacktalking, it would have absolutely no other impact on the game.

As I said earlier, even now killboards incorrectly value price of faction loot. So if 1.1 bil mod gets listed on killboard as 300,000 isk mod.. what's the point of asking for implants?
get that crap sorted out before you can make arguments about implants adding value
Also, I want to point out that my financial losses are in no way connected to CEI losses. I'm completely self funded. So putting 1 bil loss for CEI corp because I lost some faction ship would be unfair to them and in reality not effect any of them but me alone.
