CCP Phantom C C P C C P Alliance 1078	Posted - 2011.10.21 11:40:00 - [2] - Quote As earlier mentioned, I was working on compiling a list of concerns with the current design of Player-owned Customs Offices (PCO). I am posting this list here, please have a look if I have missed anything important there. Please note that I compiled this list regardless if I think the concerns are valid or not and especially regardless if those concerns are indeed valid or not. If you perceive something as a serious problem, then it should be in this list. If it is not, please notify me. Please remember also that most of the people like the idea of more industry options, a more player governed game world with fewer artificial NPC interaction. There are also many people who like specifically the proposed changes. But this is not the topic of this list. The responsible Dev team is really happy to have all your good and valuable feedback! User Interface not good enough Not enough flexibility at setting taxes for the different standing levels. Player suggestion here. Timestamp of tax collection in corp wallet could be used to collect intel on people doing PI. Tax management bad for large entities, necessary to include alliance level also. Finding GÇ£suitableGÇ¥ PCOs without going from system to system near impossible. Advertising tax rate for PCO and checking for competitors extremely difficult. Problems during transition period No BPCs available before wipe of the existing Customs Offices, transition becomes very difficult. Disruption of PI due to the transition might become a major problem. Lack of Gantries and PCOs during the transition Lowsec changes caters only griefing Lowsec will get devastated since every random group can bust PCOs without drawback Risk/Reward in Lowsec is completely wrong, no good enough profit from PI in Lowsec. Nullsec changes only good for blobs and large groups Shuts out small groups from 0.0 as they canGÇÖt compete with big blobs Large 0.0 alliances will never allow independent small groups (as seen in the past) PCO owners wonGÇÖt allow access of neutrals, this encourages only big blobs Supercap blob heaven shooting up those defenceless structures Bad effects on other industries PI prices will increase drastically, affecting POS owners heavily, making it more difficult for the small/new people Wormholes Reinforcement timer in Wormholes too long for roaming gangs to do any serious damage Transition in Wormholes will be especially difficult without prior BPC release Wormhole corporations will lock out everyone else, no Ninja-PI possible Pricelevels are off, PCOs will be unprofitable PCOs will be unprofitable and not worth the invested time and especially ISK Income from PCOs will be too low to justify the build costs and risk deploying them Taxrate will be either near 0 or near 100 Taxes in Highsec for P4 products too high Worries about general mechanics Only one PCO per planet is not good enough and hinders competition. Too big changes with not enough thoughts being put into the resulting effects on the sandbox as whole Defenceless PCOs are bad and encourage random griefing and no GÇÿconstructiveGÇÖ destruction Transport rocket from player surface is not large enough to prevent being locked out prom planets P4 producers are especially hit hard when no PCO is around, rocket wonGÇÖt help here Change of playstyle to more blobbing and griefing, hurting small people Encourages blobbing Discourages small gang warfare Hurts the small people most, benefits large blobs most Encourages griefing a lot as there is no risk in attacking PCOs Easy griefing PCOs discourages constructive gameplay Giving away control to people who do not really care about it GÇô heavy grief play results. Lowsec/Nullsec exclusively for corps and alliances only now More boring structure shooting and grinding Extremely asymmetric , catering to the attackers and griefers Forces people into corporations if they want to do PCO, big change of playstyle Bad for casual gameplay Hurts the casual player since they normally wonGÇÖt get the required corp roles to deploy PCOs PI changes from low risk, low income to high risk, very boring, medium income Why roles at all for POCs? That only hurts casual games without roles Details of the structures Size of the gantry is bad, it doesnGÇÖt fit into all racial blockade runners. Either make it small enough to fit into all blockade runners or large enough that it doesnGÇÖt fit into any runner List updates marked in italics. CCP Phantom - German Community Coordinator

Please remember that there are a lot of good ideas in this thread also. You folks bring really constructive feedback! CCP Phantom - German Community Coordinator

I have compiled a list of player concerns which I have updated several times. The responsible Devteam has answered quite a lot of questions so far also. The feedback is good and constructive here, exactly of that sort which is most valuable. Thank you very much! CCP Phantom - German Community Coordinator

There are a lot of REAL concerns here that seem to be getting ignored. For one, I really can't believe you think simply removing all the customs offices without allowing any sort of ramp up time for people to buy the BPs, manufacture the PCOs and move them into place is in any way a good idea. You're simply breaking PI during what may be a long transition cycle for absolutely no reason whatsoever. You're really screwing a ton of people over heavily if you follow that ill-advised path to destruction. Just to chime in and mentioning that this thread isn't forgotten or abandoned by the devs. CCP Phantom - German Community Coordinator
