Originally by: Cat o'Ninetails A few times now I have been flying about in space, when people start shooting at me. When my ship is destroyed then they start to shoot at my capusle. I demand they cease fire in local, but they never do cease fire.
What is the point in destroying my capusle? It does no harm and it is a pain to go back to the station where I am delivered to when it is destroy.
Thanks for your input
They shoot at you because that is what this game is about.
A player far wiser than me once quoted.. Well you can see what Dianabolic quoted for yourself in my sig!

Edited by: Sidus Isaacs on 20/01/2009 01:06:03 Here the other day some guy looted a NPC wreck I killed, and lacking anything better to do I shoot him up with my Rifter for the fun of it. He was in a caracal, and barly a few weeks old, so he pops. I did not kill his pod however, as I kinda need to get back into empire for some reasons rather soon.
But I convoed him trying to give him a few pointers about low sec, but the first thing he does after I say "hello" is fling a lot of racial slurs at me :S. Needless to say urge to pod rises :P.
Other times I pod just out of the blue, because I can, or since they do not manage to get their pod out in time. I also podded a "bad pirate" with a -9,8 sec stat, fun thing about that is you can pod em at stations without fear of sentries (why o why was he outside a station in a pod in the first place? :P).
But its not true that a pod can not be a threat, they may have a new ship in system/station waiting for a pilot, they may have expencive implants allowing them to fly big bad ships. Killing the pod may also kill their SP if they are not careful, and that benefits you.

When the ****s came for the Industrialists, I remained silent; I was not a Industrialist.
When they locked up the Traders, I remained silent; I was not a Trader.
When they came for the Carebears, I did not speak out; I was not a Carebear.
When they came for the Miners, I remained silent; I wasn't a Miner.
When they came for me, There was no one left to speak out because I made stupid ****ing threads like this.

Whenever I don't want to get podded, I'm podded.
There was this one instance where I decided that I wanted the insurance on my Drake and I went on a suicide run of a long lowsec chain. After getting about 35 jumps from home I finally was destroyed while ratting in a 0.1 system. I then began begging the agressor to destroy my pod to no avail (the total clone cost was less than what I could get mining). After retrieving an Ibis from the local station, I decided to fly into the heart of BoB to finally be destroyed. Suffice to say, I made it back to empire hisec after roaming around 0.0 for about 2 hours.
In conclusion: When you truly want to be podded, you will be ignored to the greatest extent. |

Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 20/01/2009 07:52:04 Looking at the state of the modern world and all the recorded history beforehand I can't see how either karma or a just god could possibly exist, but on the other hand I don't pod people outside nullsec and in the past year I've only ever been podded once outside of a bubble camp. Since I'll pod someone in nullsec I guess that would explain all the bubble camp poddings of my own clone.
If true, then Eve justice > divine justice tbh. |

Seeing as noone answered one of the OP's first questions..
They podded you not to be mean(Though some do), but as a sound tactical decision.
You see, if they leave you in your pod after destroying your ship, you'd then proceed to talk/yell/curse/cry/whine/whatever to them in local, alerting any other prey in the area that there is a hunter on the loose.
When they pod you, it gets you out of the system immediately.
I spent a few months pirateing on one of my pvp char's, and racked up hundreds of pod kills. I had a macro at the time that I would respond to those people who convo'd/evemailed me askin why I podded them.
Simple security.
PVP is only personal to the children who play this game.
To the rest of us, it's PVP. If you learn nothing in your first few months, learn that PVP is just that. PVP. Player vs Player.
Dont' take it personal. Don't swear vendetta.. and so on. Just accept that that ship you lost was a kill to them.
You are nothing but an NPC who MAY shoot back. And usually drop crappier loot. |

I'm not going to rage at you, call you a carebear, or tell you to go to another game.
But I will explain to you that those people podkill you precisely because you ask that question. Warm fuzzy players tend to demand changes on the forums that 0.0/lowsec/pirate/PvP players do not like or want; easiest way to deal with them is kill them mercilessly until they adapt or leave.
War isn't about "glory" or "honor" or "fairness", it's about winning, because only those left standing have the luxury of pondering ethical questions. This is the way of the real world, and it is the way of EVE. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Troll. You can fool the posters above but you cannot fool the people...err I mean you cannot get fooled again. Also, do not misunderestimate my troll radar. God, what am I gonna laugh at when bush leaves office?
If you think I am lying then you are wrong, i got my capusle destroyed for sure. then the pirate laughted at me.
Usually the pirate would laugh at you before he blows up your pod, or you'd be leaving local when you get into your clone.
I remember well when I first got killed good and proper, I was a big carebear at the time, taking my first truckload of Mexallon to Otsela (0.4) because the prices were best there (I wonder if the local pirates set that up). Naturally, completely oblivious to the dangers, I went in with my Badger and got properly whacked into a million pieces by two -10 pirates and losing the ship, cargo and my pod.
At the time I was a bit like you, wondering why anyone would do it, but I got over it and got a new industrial the next day. It was a lesson learned and I moved on, and I'm very happy I did or I wouldn't be where I am now. Now I go into low-sec regularly, even got a few kills on my name to boot while still mining in my Hulk and doing missions in my shiny Drake or Myrm.
Also, an Ibis is a free ship, along with the miner and gun on it. If you haven't, do the tutorial missions and then feel free to do whatever you want.
Oh, and if I'm in low-sec and I came across your Ibis and you are not moving away, I'd shoot it myself for the fun of it (and the plain old irony) |

Gate Campers suck.
I got one of my battleships killed yesterday on the way to a system, I decloaked and was aligning to the next gate as you do, and a group of 3 battleship warp scrambled me and started laying into me before I could do anything. I got away in my pod once they had destroyed it, I was ****ED!
Then I remembered I was insured, and the payout was more than I spent buying and fitting the ship I just lost, so that wasn't so bad.
I flew my alt through that gate this morning on my way back to high sec and it was clear, and thought about taking my other battleship back the same way.
I then heard through the alliance chat that one of our pilots got his ship and pod destroyed at the same spot I did, so the campers must have returned in the last 15 minutes, so I plotted a route that would avoid that gate jump, and I got gatecamped at another point in space right after a gate jump.
I invited to a private channel and was told to pay a 180 Million ISK ransom and I would be let go intact. I thought to myself for a few minutes while they gave me time to get the ISK, if I paid them, there's nothing to say they won't camp me at another gate along my route.
I told them I wouldn't pay, and they got very very foul mouthed, and destroyed my ship.
Next thing I know, I'm at my intended destination 24 jumps away, with an insurance payout big enough to buy a replacement ship, refit it, buy all my implants back, and still have enough to take my corp mates out for a beer lol.
Gate Pirates can royally suck sometimes, but sometimes, they can end up being a good thing.
They killed my ship, and I was transported instantly to where I was intending to go anyway. An hour later I have a replacement ship, and more ISK I had when they destroyed me, and they were left annoyed because they didn't get the payday they wanted.
They might have made a few million, if that, from the debris and wreckage of my ship, and I came out on top in several ways
I'm thinking about sending them a gift basket lol.

I have glory and honor! nothing is more glorious after defeating your opponent in honorable battle than ripping his head off with an inhuman cry of furious victory broadcast over TS, much to the distress of your CEO, making him wonder why he ever accepted your application to the corp. |

Doh
Perhaps I should have mentioned earlier that's the point where I got podded.
But in my case they stopped and asked for ransom. They helped me more by destroying me than they did by letting me go, so I can't complain lol.

Honor is a subjective topic, one that can be seen many ways..one possible code of honor that is more applicable to eve is the code of Omerta, typically known as 'the code of silence' most strictly adhered to by the Sicillian Mafia, among other gangs...as quoted in the book "The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia: Corn Sugar and Blood" by Rick Porrello.
Quote: Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of themself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Die, You are forgiven, if I Live, I will kill you." Such is the Rule of Honor.
Straight and to the point, i feel.

Until as little as 150 years ago, in Japan, if someone had to trespass in a building or area you had claimed as your own (even if it were the castle of the ruling shogun), you, as well as those trespassing there, had every right to remove you by force if they so wished.
Take Rancer as an example - you might not be able to claim sovereignty, but those guys are effectively a bunch of brigands sitting at one of the pathways leading up to the Shogun's castle, and they don't feel like letting anyone pass.
You just happen to be the unfortunate sap that decided it would be quicker to go see the shogun by taking that pathway than the one you know to be protected by the Shogun's personal guard.
They don't listen because they're punishing you for making a doo-doo. ---

For what it's worth, if I ever blow up your ship, I won't pod you. Especially if you are 18 jumps to high sec.
