Will editing reinforce timer/standings/tax of a Customs Office have to be done while right next to the customs office, so we have to fly to each CO the corp owns to update it if we change policies, or is there a central point where the corporation may manage all (or subsets of all) customs offices?

Will corporate wallet tax payment entries show which planets customs office they are for?

Will there be any controls provided for which corporate wallet division the tax payments go into?

@ CCP Nullarbor, can you confirm if we will be able to set different access rights and tax rates for each level of standing? (i.e. terrible, bad, neutral, good, excellent)

It's also extremely hard to find a good deal; maybe the system next door has much better taxes, but you have to manually fly there and check out every damn office to know that. What if you have hundreds of potential systems? it will take forever to check them all out.

q1: can we defend our customs office in lowsec without taking a standing hit?

q2: can we use the custom office on a corporate level now, or will it still be single player?

I have scanned the topics, and I still have not seen any response to the question of what happens to the PI goodies stored inside when the POCO goes Boom.

Do we get a drop like everything else at 50/50 for each item batch, or nothing?

This single question will determine the long term survivability of the POCO.

If the drop rate is 0% then when the newness of ganking these things wears off, they should become more stable.

If on the otherhand, there is a drop potential, I can see a lot more people having an incentive to not only knock these things around like Loot Pinatas, but also to maintain a small PvP force around them for the 24+ hours of reinforcement.

We already know people can still get their stuff out before it pops, but will there be an incentive to maintain a force at the POCO while popping it?

So please CCP, fill us in on the details of what happens when these things go "POP".

For some reason you seem to be very selective with what you're choosing to answer, adeptly avoiding concerns.

Will POCOs gives us kill-mails? it will be shown on killboards? ( Depending on the answer people will hunt them for fun or not )

It takes some time to anchor a gantry, and then more time to upgrade it to a customs office. How much hasn't been announced I don't think.

Nothing has been said about the defenses of a gantry, other than hit points. Does a gantry go into reinforcement mode like a CO? Is a gantry vulnerable while it's being upgraded? How long does it take to upgrade a gantry to a customs office? What happens if your gantry is being upgraded and then is put into reinforced mode? Does upgrading cease until RF mode ends?

Only question I still have not seen answered is how my standings are going to be affected by killing one of these LowSec structures, and will I be on an aggression timer afterwards.

I think we are all wasting our time here folks............the only answers that CCP are giving are like the one above, it seems POCO's are going to be rolled out as in the original blog otherwise how would a DEV be able to answer this question as definitely as this?

If there was any doubt as to the final implementation the answer would have been worded differently and also note that this is on page 68, so they already know of peoples concerns!

Scarlett Ninja over and out.........going to find something else to do :(

Ahh, I understand better now. There is no reason for a lone player to attack a PCO and stick around awaiting a response from defenders. The purpose of him was to create confusion and generate uncertainty.

When should we be hearing from yourself or CCP Phantom (or even CCP Omen) regarding other adjustments that have been made/ will be made?

When can that be applied to POS/SBU and probably station/ihub mechanics? :D

So CCP do you intend to reimburse all the corps who live and have a POS in WH space when you realise too late that they should have been able to deploy defences to protect them. If you like to have a natural balance in EVE the structures in WH need to be governed by different parameters.
POINT 1. there is usually only one corp in a WH they are not going to be able to tax anyone except themselves,(so where is their revenue).

POINT 2. unlike anywhere else in EVE where gangs/fleets can very very quickly and easily be formed to defend a structure. The random access mechanics WH makes, defending them unrealistic. (yes I know if it is attacked you can spend, oh say an hour scanning a way out in order that your team of defenders can fly back in, WOW! all, whilst your POCO's is being attacked, then if you are very, very lucky, you might just save it.

POINT 3. If these BPCGÇÖs are only available via DED/Concord stores have you thought about those who canGÇÖt access them thus leaving corp POSGÇÖs unable to obtain the items to function. At least give them a fighting chance and seed them at most stations in EVE even if they cost a bit more there.
I doubt any one minds them being destructible however they MUST have at least minimum auto defences. in WH space the corp numbers just are not the same as in Low/Null and High sec.

Please stop this application of two dimensional thought ( NULL SEC vs EMPIRE) you created WH space with parameters differing from those two so please THINK and realise the POCO's need to be different from both of them.

Dont get me wrong the concept is great, it's just, well not really thought out fully. this is potentially a global, sorry universal POS wrecker that no fleet of dreadnaughts ever achieved.

So here we are over two weeks since the devblog. There has been a substantial amount of feedback regarding the implementation. We've seen evidence of CCP listening (or atleast taking notes).

Wheres the v2 of the draft of this idea that addresses the raised (and enumerated) concerns either through "you're right were gonna fix that" or "thats not a concern for us at this time" point by point?

Communication is a 2 way street and other than someone taking notes im not seeing any responses here.

(unless you count the nifty videos about art in development... Im pretty sure theres a shiny monkey in em if you look closely enough!"

Thanks,
