eh, dont get me wrong, i think it would be fun to take ships, but the pilot of that ship dieing in the process? im not so sure, it would make podding 1000% easier, because most of the time, i can get away if my ship is destroyed, i would be extremely ****ed if i am podded while still in my ship, that would have to be changed, because the pod is like the last barrier someone has to break down to kill their target, what your proposing would essentially get rid of that wall, because this would help pirates even more, now they get to pod a target, and cause millions in damage podding them, AND they still lose their ship in the process, which is like kicking them while their down, all pirates would immediately switch to this tactic, as it becomes tons more profitable to the pirate, while at the same time making life tons more difficult for the victim
and what your proposing, the counters, for anyone to counter this, it would come straight down to the "who has the bigger cargo hold?" since everyone who doesnt want to lose their ship is obviously going to load up on marines in their cargo hold, and that again, puts the victims at a complete disadvantage, since true, your target may be an industrial, much more cargo capacity than a typical gate camping battleship, but the pirates are already at an advantage with the fact that they have a nearly un breakable camp up, all they need is one more industrial full of marines, and the victims are outnumbered with the marines they have in their cargo hold
what your proposing is giving the pirates ALOT more advantages in their proffesion, and ways to make MUCH more money, while at the same time, giving the victims a lose-lose situation, so its not going to work with any reasonable counter, as the pirates as i said only need 2 iteron mk.II's with cargo expander II's to carry more marines than even a transport ship, again with no reasonable counter to this
sorry mate, but the current "system" of doing this is the only logical way, that doesnt really give any one person the advantage over the other
pirates have to intimidate/persuade the victim to leave their ship, which if you have a billion in implants, is a quite obvious decision
and the victim can choose to not surrender
