Scuttling a ship to prevent its capture or looting from an enemy has always been a valid tactic IRL.
If it is depriving you of making ISKies, then I say it is a valid counter to you attacking to begin with. Perhaps ransoms and such are supposed to be more prevalent? I doubt they would blow up a 1+ billion ship if you offered ransom for less than replacement costs of ship and modules. But then your mighty killboard suffers.... |

If you undock, you can lose your ship, it makes no sense that self destruction should allow the victim to deny the aggressor anything. You got caught, everything should go to the killer
Technically the wreck belongs to you, not the killer. The killer can just loot it, it doesn't "belong" to them.
And you DID lose your ship, just like had it got blown up. Dead, goodbye, gone. Modules too with no ability to have your friends recover them. The "rights" of the attacker in this case mean nothing IMHO, eve is supposed to be a cruel world  , you just got counter-attacked with the Last Great Act of Defiance. |

no you got poked in the eye by a crying child...i dont care who has rights over the wreck but for something to disappear from the game world simple as a point of fact, is nuts, act of defiance? r u serious? the kill and all its goodies should go to the players doing the killing, you shouldn't be able to affect that by coping out
Weren't the Privateers whining about all the goodies getting snagged by ninja-looters? Seems that CCP said then that the loot technically belongs to the killed, not the killer. And yes, it is an act of defiance. Just the concept I can keep you from getting the spoils of the attack makes me a bit happier 
I do agree that they shouldn't get insurance for self-destructing though. |
