I'm thinking about putting up my own POCO in lowsec. What are some tips for picking a good location?
I know that systems close to hisec with stations are more desirable, as are plasma, lava and storm planets.
When I have picked a system, how do I know which planet to choose? I have found a system 2 jumps from hisec with a station and there is a plasma planet with an interbus CO. The hisec is then 9 jumps from Jita. Is this a good spot? How do I know if the planet is getting used? |

Look at the planet as if you were planning to scan for resources, right click on the planet, show others structures. See how annoying it is to find them since only the Command Center will be visible. |

Activate the Orbital Infrastructure in your Overview.
You will now be able to see who owns which POCO's in a system.
If all or most in a system are taken, you will more likely not have a POCO survive too long at all as that is 'their' system, unless you make some kind of deal with them, and good luck with that.
It definitely will not survive long anywhere near Jita.
And how will you defend it when it goes into reinforcement mode ?
But honestly, if you had to ask in Forum for this information, you are just not ready to take on this project yet at all. Just my .02 ISK. |

Yeah, just asking out of interest. I'm solo atm so I would even have trouble taking down the interbus office. I'm not too worried if someone takes it down though. I'd rather just set it up in a quiet spot to begin with and hope nobody notices. How fast is the return on investment? |

Unless you are part of a larger Corporation doing this and able to defend it's 'territiory', it's just not going to be worth any 'investment'.
Also, any return will vary wildly with activity variance from place to place.
