Yeah they kind of are, but there are ~implications with making it easier to kill POS with subcaps, like seeing W-space scoured out by the dominant corps there. "yes but" aren't exactly a stand that I can satisfy with. 
For example, you're advocating about changing the way highsec manufacturing slots work (which is directly a huge incentive to use POSes) and at the same time "nerfing the EHP of structures", making them more vulnerable. Meaning that ~POS business~ would become a serious business in EVE.
So hundreds of pilots would anchor hundreds of towers all around EVE, as good as they are at the moment, which "just" a lower EHP. You didn't say more about it, so I don't even know if you're talking about a shenanigan "-5% structure HP" or a massive batnerf move "-90% HP **** you, structures !". Or maybe you were only talking about TCUs/SBUs ?
I mean, you'll probably get elected (and you have my support /o/ ) and your role will definitively not be as a game designer, but you must represent people.
One day CCP will come at you and ask you "sup Malca, here's what we planned on the highsec industry, it's linked with POS, what do you think of it ?" (or even better : you will come at CCP saying "hey bros, some pilots are telling me that small-scale structure fights are so broken nobody wants to do it"). Not only you'll have to express your own opinion, but the opinions of your fellow pilots as well.
Keeping on the same example : you're saying that highsec POSes are a PITA to destroy. I disagree with this opinion ; of course it's indeed "a pain in the ass" but that's not even remotely the main problem I would adovcate : highsec POSes have an immunity in EVE. You could reply "maybe but that's your (maybe experienced) personal point of view". Yes but thanks to some tools (zboard in this case), I can for example check own many large (non-faction, I'm too lazy) control towers died this month and feel the scale of the problem.
You may think at first that my original post was "plz future CSM member nerf POSes plz" but it's not. I'm just trying to find correct CSM members that I could EVEmail about inquiries, and at the same time CSM members that are not posing as "expert on a few, narrow domains" but listeners (collecting problems) and investigators (what's the deal ? Maybe I should ask a few people that know that ****).
You're doing a good job at it actually, but you can do it even better. :) |
