I support the idea of being able to hack a tower or bribe CONCORD to unanchor it if the tower has been offline for more than a year. There are a great many faction towers out there which cannot be replaced, it would be a shame to simply destroy them all.
Perhaps CONCORD or some other entity could be used as an auctioneer, selling the tower to the highest bidder in an untimed auction that finishes when no new bids are received for a month.
Destroying beautiful things is not the only path available. |

It's a shame POS's need to be anchored to moons.
I know, I know. That's not going to work. Never make eye contact with someone while eating a banana. |

I think the point a lot of people are missing in the OP is to not necessarily blow the abandoned POS up, but to be able to unanchor and scoop it.
It would be nice if, say, the hacking module could be used on an offline POS to force it to unanchor, and either have a very long cycle time or a very low possibility of success with each cycle. That would give the owner of the POS time to respond, if they felt so inclined.
Hell, even tie it into the wardec mechanics if necessary so the attacking corp has the option to pewpew the tower or try to steal it.

It would definitely have to be part of the wardec mechanic. You can't expect to just fly around, unanchoring everything you see and making risk-free profit.
I still think simply "right click > unanchor" is unimaginative. Perhaps have some kind of time period (two months, say) where if the POS isn't put online even for just one cycle, it falls into "disrepair". After that you can salvage it, maybe requiring a Noctis (or two, or five) to salvage a tower. Guns and modules might only require one Noctis. And you'd get the materials to build the tower, you wouldn't just get a free tower.
Something like that is a bit more balanced and interesting :) I have a specific comb for my beard. |

I leave my tower anchored to stop someone coming along and nicking "my" space.
It's a circular problem, if there were more free moon slots then people wouldn't feel the need to leave their towers up all the time. |

Why dont abandoned POS after a month turn into drone hives. The larger the POS the deadlier they are. The drones then will randomly attack people like an incursion system.
Probably unworkable in the amount of development time needed, but it's a cool idea. |

People yelling risk adverse are hypocrites. They're too afraid to risk losing their unmanned station to somebody with a little cunning and have to rely on a wardec to keep it safe. Do you smell what the Lock's cooking? |

And that is the whole reason why some of these offline POS's are there to begin with. |

I've suggested in the past that after a certain period of time you should be able to use hacking skills to convert the POS to your control, then you could un-anchor it or fuel it and put it back online as yours.
I know CCP has considered ideas that would change what you can do to a POS abandoned after some period of time and there is discussion of a POS revamp in the future so if we get a chance to talk to CCP about POSs soon I'll be sure to make this part of the conversation.

I can do with fewer abandoned poses. Things are only impossible until they are not. |

POS need a complete revamp and the idea of stealing offline POSs is great. I mean people can blow up your freighter and steal your stuff due to your negligence, why can't people steal your POS due to your negligence, it fits in perfectly with eve.

Im not looking at them like they are in my way, I see all these towers of corps that are no longer active and think this could be a good way to make some isk. I dont think it should just be there for the taking, def some skills needed and modules like hacking and or salvaging modules. |
