The point they were making was a vast majority of war decs is one side simply staying docked. As said in the minutes "Paying some people to stay docked." They are right that when players are hit with a war dec, they seek ways to evade it. That is either by leaving the corp, going to space where the war dec is irrelevant or simply staying docked and or logging off.
Aside from a high sec POS and POCO's (hopefully soon) there is no incentive to undock and fight if you don't think you will mop the floor with the opposition. It is the equivelant of a roaming gang in null that passes through some blocks systems. Everyone safes up and waits it out or they form ultra blob to engage the roaming gang. At which point the roaming gang runs off.
It all boils down to easy access to too much information on enemy intel and little to no incentive to undock and deal with the opposing war party. I am not saying war decs should be removed completely, but honestly the vast majority of the war decs is by some small group of players who target industrial corps to feel like they are brave. The moment the defender is able to put up a fight, the so called elite PvPers who originally war dec'd them want nothing to do with the fight and will dock up themselves.
Mechanics that end with ships choosing to dock up instead of fight a majority of the time need a rework.

A lot of you are missing the core issue here when it comes to war decs and to a degree, several other parts of the game. There is simply far too many times where docking up and not fighting (going to play another game) is the best course of action. Blue balling. What you should be asking and analyzing is what needs to be changed so the best course of action is to undock and fight.

A war dec in EVE only involves the legal acquisition of someone's sneakers if they leave them on a specific porch. And when the owner of said sneakers can simply put them on and walk away or set them on another porch. Big deal. That is not a war. There is nothing to fight for. No homes. No resources. No schools. No religion. No land. Nothing. There is nothing you can't stuff into a suitcase and walk away. Everything of value can easily be taken to safety without losing value ore usefulness.
There needs to be real reasons to fight. There is endless possibilities to give players the tools to build empires. Empires they can from. Empires that can be quickly tossed into a players pocket and moved. Empires that need to be protected. Empires that are worth undocking and fighting for.
I believe the answer to creating this lies in the possibilities of not thinking about how a POS revamp can make a POS better, but how a revamp opens the door to creating far more than something dangling off a moon mining.

Well at least if the high sec players had the tools to build a theme park it would be a reason for them to undock and defend it when I walk in with a blow torch. NPC controlled things means it will be there tomorrow, if they undock or not.

As long as it has dinosaurs that eat the tourist, I'm ok with a theme-park.
