I got podkilled yesterday in a 0.8 system, while flying in a pod between to systems (relocating ships).
What I don't understand is, that I am not getting any kill rights against the other player. I've lost 80Mil+ ISK in implants, and I have no recourse on the bastard whatsoever.
I petitioned it to CCP, but they say:
"besides there is no kill right issues for a pod kill as intended. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you and wish you a speedy recovery. "
Thanks a bunch. How is this fair?

So you where suicide Pod killed or did you agro the killer first?
If someone upped and podded you for the pure pleasure of just killing you and they got concorded, then I would support this. But if you stole a heap of ore, and they attacked you in your POD then I would have to say.. I support CCP. |

Nope, I was on autopilot between two systems, simply flying back to pick up another ship.
I came back and found myself sitting in a clone vat, with all my +4 implants gone.
The main thing is, this happened in a 0.8 system on route, and the route was entirely in high-sec. |

The issue is pretty simple here.
A player shot at you, was probably concorded for doing so, and that should get you kill rights. It doesn't matter what you're in, if you lose your current transportation ship even a POD you should get Kill Rights.
Supported As long as you where not part of a War Dec, Faction Wars, or had Agro on someone. |

And no, we are neither at war, nor had the other player kill rights or anything. |

My guess is that it's an intended feature. |

I find it dificult to give you support considering you where using autopilot.
IF you where not using autopilot you would have likely not been killed as warping to 0 meters to your gate of choice would allow you to quickly escape.
I do have issue with the fact that you didn't get kill rights... I'd think you would considering what took place... but then you have yet to confirm if CONCORD took said player out... after all it is high sec...and if you where autopiloting.... your likely to have been killed at a stargate..... and CONCORD camps those frequently.....
I'd say someone was either really stupid... or just really mad at you... but it goes back to the first rule I learned when I started playing this game.
You don't autopilot unless your willing to risk your skin. |

This really isn't a proposal and does not belong in the Assmebly Hall portion of the forums.
In the situation you describe, you get kill rights. Examine the wording of your petition for flaws in the information it contains. If you find a flaw, repetition. If you find no flaw, file a petition against the GM who first responded. This will escalate the matter to a more senior member of the GM team for review.

I believe that I will go podhunting in a cheap ship thanks for the idea

Don't undock with implants you can't afford to lose?

I wish people would read. He's not ****ing and moaning that he got podded on autopilot FFS. He thinks he should get killrights on the aggressor and I don't see any reason why he shouldn't.

The reason I am posting this here is related to the response I got from the GM, which I am not allowed to quote it seems.
The main point is, that the GM described this as an intended result (meaning, me not getting kill rights after a pod kill). However, everyone I am telling this to, thinks this doesn't make sense and it mad.
IF this is indeed as intended by CCP, then this is something that needs to be changed. Hence the reason I am turning to the CSM. |

Not receiving kill rights for pods in highsec is rather silly, I'll agree.
I'm curious... did you have a huge bounty or have a low sec status or something?
TBH, I would file a bug report about it. If the bug report says that it's an intended feature, then I would continue to ask for change from the CSM. If, however, the bug report states that it's a new issue (or God forbid a known issue that the GM didn't know about), then I would state such in your petition and ask that the GM give you kill rights.

Should have used a shuttle. Autopiloting an implant pod is not smart. I think this is a good mechanic. |

Nobody is denying its stupidity. They're just asserting its criminality. Since the guy did get Concorded afterwards, I should imagine kill rights are also in order. |

This. Even stupid people are protected by the legal system. I would have thought a pod kill would result in more than a kill right (maybe lasts longer) rather than no kill right at all. I noticed (before it got deleted) that a CCP representative said this was an intended mechanic. Any explanation? Some RP reason from CCP would change my mind immediately, but common logic points the other way. |

My sec rating is 1.61 and I have no bounties, nor do I engage in criminal acts. I have never been in touch or involved with the agressor, nor were we wardeced etc. This happened two jumps away from Jita, while autopiloting a pod back to a system, after driving a ship over there. There were no shuttles available in the system and it didn't fit in the hold, so it is a bit rich to call me stupid because I flew in a pod. However, this is neigher here nor there. This issue relates to me not getting kill rights after after being killed in high sec. The GM maintains that this is an intended feature, though the logic of this entirely escapes me. |
