1. I don't know why so many people think high sec PI is going to be very fruitful with a doubled tax. I blame CCP sympathizers. They don't actually know how economies work and just act like yes-men for CCP. High sec PI is already a fairly crappy chore for very little output, and continuing PI in high sec will remain an only slightly fruitful task.
2. The taxes WILL be too high. Such is the nature of any large corporation/alliance; put as much pressure on a niche as possible to exploit the market in your favor. Goonswarm is trying to do that with ice belts as we speak. Now, instead of just ice belt ganking, we're going to see a lot of POCO's we can't access or get taxed heavily on because the major alliances are going to hog them up so they can manipulate the PI market to their benefit.
3. You must be crazy to think a 500m3 launch is going to solve this problem. If they made it a 5000m3 launch, I could maybe understand. But 500? No, I'm just going to ditch my PI and find some other way to make my ISK.
4. What small PI corp is going to be able to maintain and defend that POCO? When a larger corporation decides they want the moon your small corp's POS is sitting at, what happens to that POS? It gets destroyed. The same will happen to your POCO. All you will have accomplished is wasting time, ISK, and materials to get it up and running. What incentive would people have to use your POCO when they can either hire a mercenary to blast it to bits for probably a pretty cheap fee, or just blow it up themselves? A small corp, PI or otherwise, is typically going to run during one or two time zones. It won't last very long.
You missed a lot of meaningful things said in this thread. But most of them are from the people who oppose this being implemented. All I have seen so far from the people who like this idea(I've read at least 200 posts) is a bunch of bull about how people are going to work together, or how alliances and corporations will be reasonable with the taxes and standings, just a bunch of unrealistic bull****.
This is EvE. If they aren't being paid, you aren't getting laid.
