So any PI materials that are in the customs office hangars will be lost when you remove the customs offices? And the planets themselves will be without import/export capability until a group comes along that is amenable to operating a "public" customs office for 100% tax?
Not crazy about the inclusion of lowsec for these changes. |

I'm sure a lot of hisec POS owners will throw up their hands on this one. If there is a dramatic increase in PI material prices and POS fuels, why feed the tower in the first place? Just shut down the tower and run hisec PI for profit.... |

Ya I'm just a guy and I'm not part of some alliance, just a small corporation but I do my PI in lowsec, it's not great to have the Devs tell me 'tough *****' go do PI in highsec. I'm taking the risk here shouldn't I get some sort of reward? Instead I'm getting shoved out of Lowsec so that larger corporations that have massive resources can control everything. PI was great because it was accessible to all, now it's just another resource for alliances to fight over. That's not our intention, if you are a small corp you are very much the focus of this. But honestly, what if a large alliance takes control of a CO and charge you 9% tax? Isn't that fine? they provide the service, you pay for it and it's cheaper than highsec? Our assumption is that Alliances or any corp will want to make money off their CO in low-sec. If that assumption turns out to be wrong, then we might intervene with a future update. Regards Omen
Why would a large alliance charge anything less than 100% tax for planets "open to the public?" |

The new CO's could also be used for industrial griefing in the following manner: say you find a good planet with a CO open to the public for 9% tax. You install PI on the planet and come back the following day only to find either the tax raised to 100% or, the CO standings were changed to blue only. Your PI installation becomes unexpectedly isolated (no CO) or way too expensive to use. I mean, who is gonna _trust_ that neutral CO's settings will remain stable....I won't. |

The combat players love the change. The industrial players hate it. That about sums it up. |

What will happen to PI-Items inside the current Custom Office's after the patch?
Will it be destroyed or will it be moved to an Outpost?
I believe the dev said that the CO hangar contents will be magically transported to a nearby station or outpost, presumably a neutral one.  |
