Here are the four things PI really needs:...

Players Customs Offices are great, but CCP needs to add some protection against griefing.

Any thoughts as to the concerns players are having with regards to, for example, our PI being completely broken if the current customs offices are destroyed? We can't laumch goods... our command centers aren't connected to the PI chain which has migrated around the planet with the resources.

Everyone from the owning corp may use the customs office but the inventory inside it, like PI, are stored per player.

This would allow the little guy some risk-reward system into low sec.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here....

i guess i could reduce my production cost and work on the mentality ' the pi products i make myself are free' but pi is boring, this change makes it more boring, yay structures to move build and shoot, cos the game needs more of them right.

List of concerns and whines

THIS^^

Yes, we are still following this thread. I have compiled a list of player concerns which I have updated several times.

Lastly, if as proposed, PCO's are left fully destructible in all regions (excluding High Sec), then what was the rational for making the gantry volume m3 higher than what a blockade runner could hold?

In my wormhole? What the hell you babbling on about? Any industrialists from high sec trying to do PI in my hole will be taking the lonely pod express back to high sec. It's not like I'd get a cut of their goods anyhow, or even enough to matter.

You sound like you actually think it's possible for someone in high sec to run PI in wormholes. Here's a hint... it's not.

The pi was the only reason to go in low sec... now with private custom i cant setup pi in low because other corporations will destroy the custom..... result : all little player will only play in high and when they will be bored they will stop to play, you're on the good way continue ...... :(

What? You actually believe you can force people into areas they don't want to be? Don't be ridiculous. People that don't want to go into low sec won't, regardless of the taxes. They'll simply either pay the taxes or drop PI instead.

Share resources. Let others use faciltys for profit? HAHAHAHAHA
I mean its not like their are spies, corp thieves, gank alts, and LOL Butholes in the game now is there?..

- Hi-sec COs will only charge a 10% tariff.
- POCOs will have to charge much more then 10% in order to break even in under a month.
- This drives all P2/P3/P4 production to hi-sec POCOs.
- All that is left is tariffs on P1 harvest planets, which is not enough to pay for a POCO fast enough.
- Harvest planets can't support more then half a dozen colonies before they get over-populated and start generating poor returns from the ECUs.

Well according to you and your whiney carebare remark only PvPers play or should so thanks for proving me right.

As for a profit. Profit from what? So you want it allaince only to support the RMT allainces we already have?... That explains why you like the IDea you get your isk the easy way.

ANd name me one allaince thats going to encourage nuetrals t use thier station,,, You cant with out lieing. The only thing they approve is thier rat bots.

Posting alts: For those times you want to flame and troll, and don't want to start a war in the process

i've got a few questions..

But seriously. Will you (I mean CCP) add import option to the command centers? Or my lil smart factory shall close imminent?

What would be wrong with leaving the customs offices intact as they are now, but shutting them down if someone plants a POCO?

Then if the POCO is destroyed or removed the customs office comes back online.

The main ones I'm thinking of are the high sec people that PI in low, but the advantages go everywhere. However... the high sec folks, if they find an unfriendly corp has planted one of these on a planet they're farming, are screwed right now with the stated implementation.

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 would like there to continue to be 2 warp in points for a planet, the planet and the CO. The answers from devs have kinda indicated that you have a choice where you anchor a PCO. Maybe that's not such a good idea. I disagree with having to scan down a PCO to use it.

Another question that has never been answered by the devs... what happens to the stuff that a PI player has in the PCO if it gets destroyed?

I wonder if after this feature, Team Pi will be continuing work on refining PI in general?

Tax the PI inhabitants... sure... but how much? You'll either see exhorborant tax rates in low sec simply because they can or you'll see corps locking out non-corp members completely to keep the resources for themselves, especially with the PI prices spiking as you've mentioned.

But... if you keep the customs offices there, the high sec PI people can fight back.

There's nothing I can add to improve upon this...

Ah, C, you're missing the main point though. If the COs in low are destroyed and someone puts a PCO up, what recourse do the high sec folks have in NPC corps if they wind up denied access to those planets they're already established on?

They pay the customs office taxes like everyone else does. This deos indeed take away people's abilities to do PI as they choose. You put control of planets into corporations and offer no recourse whatsoever to those that choose to enjoy the comforts of npc corps.

Without being able to fight for their PI rights, you'll have even less people venturing into low

This removes the sand. It takes away the incentive to build your own castle because the bullys have claimed the beach

Really? Only ones i see supporting it are RMT supporters like War Kitten.. Or some alternate posting for a main in a big corp,,,,

Yea thats what ccp needs to do drive away even more people.
