CCP need to introduce some kind of feature where if a POS is anchored but completely offline it can be taken. There are a huge number of towers anchored to moons that have been left to go offline. Maybe the owners stopped playing, or don't have any use for it anymore. Either way its a waste of a moon that another player/corp could use. Sure you could war dec them and try and destroy it but I feel like it could be a legitimate mechanic that an offline POS can be accessed and stolen?
There could be a grace period where if a tower goes offline it goes into a secure mode of some sort for 7 days, can still be attacked but not stolen, after that it's fair game?

You have a 100% defenceless tower, even if you start attacking it, the owner needs to defend it till the shield comes up...
And you want a let me just steal offline towers... na.
Also... maybe post in the right forum.
Not very simple for every corp.
I wasn't really sure where to post this? What would be the right forum?

The whole "standings for POS in highse"c means some corps are reluctant to remove POS, because they might not be able to put it up again. POS are left online until they need them.
The mechanic for removing them is already there - war. If a corp really wants to keep a POS, they'll put it back online and defend it.
Easy!
You make good point, however if a corp wants to simply anchor a POS until they may need it then there should be a cost to that, eg: keeping the POS online, so fuel cost etc. If they choose not keep it online then thats ok but they should run the risk of having it stolen |

The "are you adverse to player interaction or risk" comments are far from the point of my suggestion. I'd be totally fine with the introduction of the suggested mechanic still requiring you to war dec the owner corp. What you elite "ships, guns war dec, tower goes pop" PVPrs are failing to comprehend is that not every active player in eve is part of a large, or even medium, sized organisation able to roll up in DPS Battleships and pop a tower.
The point of my suggestion is to deal with offline or abandoned towers, with a possible mechanic other than just blowing it up. I'd be willing to bet that 10-20% of those towers are owned by in-active players or corps. |

If it concerns you SO much that someone left a POS up, blow it up - or pay some mercs to do so.
lol
You're an idiot |
