I will re-iterate that we want POCOs to be valid for small corporations, we want highsec to act as a crowded/low income safety for the market as a whole while the land of opportunity is Lowsec. We want Alliances to be able to enjoy 0% tax for their own space. We want PI be a catalyst for space battles as much as it is a low effort passive income.
Regarding the taxation topic itself. I have called a meeting with CCP:s economist to go through the issues raised.
Best regards Omen Right now they ARE valid for small corporations IF they use the planets themselves, and use the POCO's to deny anybody else;s use of the planet... to prevent depletion issues. However, is that all you want? Or is your goal to make it so small corps (or any size for that matter) can provide POCOs as a service to others? If so then work needs to be done. I think I've followed all your posts and i'm still unclear on your goals in this area. edit: If you removed the planet depletion mechanic, than at least a corp would not be harmed by letting people use their POCO. (it being understood that the only reason it is there is because the corps members have colonies on the planet, given the current tax situation).
This is exactly the situation I am currently contemplating. I have about 15 PI operations all in one planetary system, and got by fine just making pickups at odd times. Now the small Corp living there have replaced all the Interbus with POCOs and have set the tax rate to something like 100%. Now I either have to relocate everything, and they lose out on what they could have made off me in taxes.... Or I turn ugly and just change all my operations to cause maximum depletions on every planet.. If I switch to a wasteful depletions mode, I can screw over the planets for them also.
On the other hand if there were no depletions, then the corp would benefit by setting a more reasonable tax rate which can only make them more Isk.

Are you sure they are using the planets themselves? Some people are setting up their offices at very high tax to bait fights. Can't say whether it will work, as it's not that hard to just move to a more reasonable system.

Inaro is a 0.8 high-sec system 4 jumps from Jita and 5 jumps from Amarr. It has 4 barren planets and 2 temperate planets. The tax rate is 10%. It is pretty sweet for factories. |

Yes, I searched, and the planetary operations of some corp members are there. Even better it is usually pretty clear exactly which resources they have set up for extraction. Thus it almost behooves me to switch over some of my operations for extraction only right on top of their extraction. But I am not totally sure if they will get the point. |

I have a few high sec operations also, but when making an end product like Rocket fuel, Enriched Uranium, or Coolant, I can make approximately 4 times as much on a nice null-sec planet compared to a high sec planet. So I really need to find a way past my current bad situation. Or I am forced to find other planets somewhere else that are just as nice, but then face the same possibility of 100% taxes all over again. |

Have you tried opening negotiations for a lower tax rate? I would propose a flat fee per month for gauranteed reasonable rate. The lease provides opportunity and the tariff provides the revenue stream. At least talk to them first.

Another alternative: You know these new POCO's are destructible, right? So go destroy them and put up your own. |

Does the owner of a POCO see the items of another user that passes through the CO or just get a tax notification when items are charged either through export or import? |

Nah that's the Green Goon Fairy, hard to say who that is, but I'd lay odds on some of the WInoDOTers. |

I dont know if one person even with 3 chars can deplete a plannet, i've myself whached how rates in the same place go down, well it got from 60% full link to 40 in 6 month. and i think it gets old not making isk and just going destructive...plus is not lucrative...i do not know how it will be. |

I did drink a 5-year old bottle of absinthe when I finished my PhD. So in a sense, that's true. |

I kind of miss the controversy and panic of 8 pages ago.
GSF is taxing its POCOs to pay for their install and defense and things are working quite well so far. Any special news from highsec or lowsec? |

Actually ToR has opened it's servers for people who pre-ordered. Even if they don't unsub, I suspect Eve's servers will be less busy for a month or two.

Generally the tax rate for the few Low Sec PCO' s is the same as High Sec , 10%. So there is no reason to move from High Sec to Low Sec. The few 1% Tax PCO's are just gank bait. The few Low Sec PI users have either adjusted thier prices or moved back to High Sec when the PCO owner locks them out.
The next step will be for the Null Alliance PCO owners to flood the market with with cheap PI goods so it will no longer be cost effective to do PI even in High. |

So far, they've been a good driver of conflict in lowsec. Dreads have died reinforcing them, carriers have died repairing them, and random people completely unrelated to attackers or defenders have shown up for timers expecting fights and gotten them.
Most lowsec POCOs are taxed at 8-10%, so the motivation to go to lowsec is the same as it was pre-patch: more resources per planet. A few are taxed at very high levels to bait fights, but I'm not sure that's actually working.
What I have noticed in the last week or so is a big increase in the number of people using lowsec POCOs, so profitability is more predictable now. Still, the ROI is a bit too long, and the income too low, and most interbus COs are still in place.
If that trend continues, the devs might want to lower resource depletion drastically, so more people can use the same planet and so the income becomes more concentrated on a few POCOs.

I like that people unrelated to the POCO reinforcement or defense are just showing up for fights. It's like a mini PVP arena. |

The timer is visible to anyone who has POCOs on brackets and is in system. In busy systems, that's a lot of people who know of a time and place a fight might go down. Makes me wonder whether making towers (and their timers) visible system wide would be a good idea.
