Something New is Learned Every Day

Interesting Game Mechanics you may or may not know about:

#1 - If someone steals from you (IE- Takes from your Can, Wreck, etc.), you may warp scramble your Pod. 

Doubt me? 

Grab a friend with a neutral alt, get yourself fitted in a frigate and have him steal from you in a cheap ship.  Then pop his ship, lock up his pod and scramble it.

Presto!  Warp Scrambled pod in High Security Space!

NOTE: While you can scramble and shoot the pod after they have stolen from you, you cannot actually pod them.  The mechanics are a little more convoluted and unclear if someone should pop the pod in question while you have them scrambled.  We have tested the part where you can in fact scramble them and the part where you shoot them.  However, popping them via a suicide gank alt has confused me.  I have heard, or it has been suggested that if you do pop the pod via a suicide gank alt everyone on the mail gets a Global Criminal Countdown (GCC) and a visit from their local CONCORD Law Enforcement Squad.


#2 - You can repackage Tech 3's just like regular ships, without losing the subsystems!

I was unaware of this fact, and thought that subsystems were just like rigs.  However, according to several corporation buddies of mine, it is entirely possible.  They did it to move a few of their T3's in their freighter.  However, you will lose the rigs.

That's what I learned this past weekend.  I meant to put that in my earlier post.

Time to call it a night,
