Basically a CCP initiated 'POSageddon'.
Problem: Lowsec isn't populated enough
CCP Solution: Make it more difficult to use.
That's my conclusion.
I moved to Low-Sec for PI as the profit was worth the risk, and losing a 100M+ ship from time to time is acceptable.
In the future, I'll pack out of Low-Sec, as my sector is Fw + Pirates + Goons roaming... so I do not give 1h of life expectancy to any undefended structure in any of the systems I work in (and no merc corp will defend that space to become targets to those roamers).
Haters gonna hate... and Grievers gonna have great time... shooting the only thing remaining in space, as there will be even less traffic in Low-Sec than currently. They will shoot the Customs, to try to draw targets out. Only real question to CCP is the %age of goods produced in Low-Sec currently, as this market source is going to dry.
I have no problem over fighting over the control of the Customs, which makes it a source of passive income for the Low-Sec lords (and link it BOTH WAYS to Sovereignty in Null), but having a chance of barring production from others will make PI in Low-Sec disappear, increasing the cost of PI goods again, closing POS across the board as they will again be more expensive.
Will people leave ? surely not, but inflation is the future, as Null produces for Null and High-Sec is overcrowded already... all actions on PI will make a direct action on prices of everything. But perhaps it is one more move from the Null-CSM that wants to add PI-goo to the current Moon-goo monies, and to do so, they need to kill the only competition. Corporate greed ?
Time will see, but that is a blow to Low-Sec, to try to push people to Dust514... My prediction will be that it is back to normal in 12-18 months after Dust settles back to nothingness. Then we'll be back to FiS.
p.s.: meanwhile, I have years of stockpiles of PI goods, so I'll make a lot of monies :) |
