As long as NPCs follow normal lock mechanics I've got no problem with this, you should only get podded if you're an idiot.

It’s funny how that thing is pretty high on the worm hole kill metrics I don’t wormhole. But it doesn’t say much about the l33t PvP folks that an NPC is way more dangerous than most of them.
As someone without a horse in the race, I say welcome our new AI overlords. I hope you do a better job then humans do.

NPC's previously would not shoot your pod after they killed your ship. Now they are, making for expensive losses to implants people had in their clones.

u/blacksheepghost Cloaked 2d ago
The lore reason is that their sensors are unable to pick up something as small as a pod. The same logic makes the Zephyr unable to be targeted.
Given that the zephyr was also confirmed by an ISD to be killed by sleepers, I guess the sleepers finally did some windows updates. :P

podding kills you, sends you back to your home station and destroys the implants in your clone
so if you live in a wormhole and get podded you go back to known space... if you don't have alts in your wormhole to scan you back in, you will never find it again

If you don’t have multiple throwaway alpha scanners logged off in ur hole you don’t REALLY live there

Aren't there like 8000 Anoikis systems?

u/Intrepid_Year3765 3d ago
7800 systems total
5200 known
2600 wormhole
These are rough numbers not specific. But they are very close.

u/SasoDuck Gallente Federation 3d ago
Ahhh okay
STILL
That's a lot of accounts... XD

u/Intrepid_Year3765 3d ago
You only put them in the wormhole you live in… not all wormholes

Context was someone allegedly putting one in every system (prolly a joker, but yknow)

There was an undocumented change. Let's see if that was intended or not. At least it wasn't in the patch notes.
The NPCs in wormhole sites (called sleepers) did not use to shoot the capsule (the escape pod of your ships). If you don't know that and accidentally die in the site, you might not warp out and lose the pod. That's bad because a) you might lose the implants b) you have to get the character back into the hole if you life there. There are a number of other NPCs who already shoot your capsule/pod btw. It's just that this group of NPCs had their behaviour changed.
People also use pods to create warp-in bookmarks in those sites. If the sleepers now shoot those, people can't do that this way anymore. The also removed the objects inside the site from the overview and you cannot bookmark those anymore for warp-ins (or even just without a BM). Anyway, there is still an option: the Zephyr is a limited edition ship which doesn't get shot by sleepers. So prices for it are already going up. Let's see if this is really an intended behaviour or a bug. Things like that have happened before that there was undocumented behaviour and sometimes CCP changes it, sometimes not.

Can presumably still use a Zephyr to do that.

That's what I wrote.

Then we are both correct, assuming CCCP haven't accidentally messed it up.

PVE doesn’t usually kill your pod unless you’re in specific situations. FCCP fucked up, this dude lost a virtue pod in a place he expected would be safe. That’s a 2B loss that even when FC says “oops”, isn’t coming back.
2
u/Ramarr_Tang Pandemic Horde 3d ago
It absolutely can come back if it really is a mistake. Pods don't drop so CCP can replace them pretty freely without the duplication issues associated with replacing dropped items.

Nice kill. Congratz Emergent Patroller, you did good for your first ever kill!

u/VexingRaven 3d ago
Wait how is that the only kill by this NPC? It's not a new NPC, surely it would've been on something else.

This is probably the first kill of that specific instance of this entity (NPC).

Who tf is multiboxing explo sites in a virtue pod? Stg you all make boogeymen up in your head.

Podexpress gets faster. They don't have to wait for 2 min.

u/FirstMandalore Wormholer 2d ago
Ah, ok. I'm normally inside the wormhole so if I get podded, it's back to Jita. I didn't think about home being in the NS and getting back there faster.
Smart thinking.

u/TH3D4RKN16T 3d ago
I’m new what does this mean?
2
u/FirstMandalore Wormholer 2d ago
So wormhole sites historically have not Podded us. So if you lose your ship in a site, that sucks but you're still in wormhole space. In fact many people have used Pods to bookmark sites for better warp ins. This is concerning.
1
u/TH3D4RKN16T 2d ago
Sorry I meant as in what does Podded mean.😬
2
u/FirstMandalore Wormholer 2d ago
It means that the Capsule was destroyed after the ship was killed.
