Wheres it gonna be at?
Yes, but still, **** of too many big groups and one will come up with what's needed to wipe out enough of those pos's.
Keep in mind that the outpost alone is worth quite some losses in terms of raw worth.
I'd imagine the station would be quite near to empire, in a zone not used too much just yet but still offering good possibilties to people that would base from the station and use it to trade. I'm sure a few good loks at the map would come up with some candidate areas

Right, they could do that. But then again, they need to fuel those.
If they have only 3 moons to cover, good job on finding that system.
But in any way, the fuel costs for POS will cut down the revenue from repairing, office/factory/research rent even further.

on a further note, if ISS pulls this off and can make it lucrative, whats to stop them putting up more outposts of different types with the same goal in the same area? each outpost fulfills a specific role; having one of each would create empire-like infrastructure. i know its a mountainous proposal; just a thought.

I dream of a day when 0.0 has an infrastructure.
Good luck ISS, I hope your plans might bring my dreams to fruition
Quit dreaming Mordith. 0.0 npc regions have an infistructure.
EDIT
Wherever they set it up, the local alliance most likely will take it over anyways, thats why the southern allies are so interested in it.

I doubt that, they wouldnt have done this without consent of the local alliances in the first place.
What will stop them is exactly that consent. ISS is no military powerhouse and does not aspire to be afaik. Without cooperation by the local militarily powerfull, their efforts at building outposts would descend ito handing stations to enemies.

Exactly. that like putting a 20 billion isk toy in the alliances back yard. You dont think they will take it once its done, since ISS CANT fight back.

/me wonders if their platform will be destroyed...
Na, pointless. Someone might try and take the system after it's up...taking the outpost and saving billions. But just going for the platform is a bit pointless.

I think the situation that their relying on is that since other alliances have a vested interest as they (hold shares) in the outpost. It will allow the ISS to maintain a bit of neutrality and others will step in to defend their investment. What WILL be interesting however is if someone attempts a hostile takeover of the company by means of shares and wrenches control from ISS...

Yes, but wiht a trade hub and all that jaz, pirates will set up shop and go on a spree killing off the alliance. I lived in delve for 2 months without bob disturbing me, even hunted them a few times. They only hang around NOL and not much else because of all the npc stations.

I think this is stupendous idea, and not just because I'm a member of ISS.
There's risks involved, but hey, risk vs. reward right? And what could be cooler than being a part of such a fantastic project?
Contents of my corp account I think are going this way.

It should prove much more interesting then npc station systems tbh.
After all, if a certain group of pirates would use it in a way that damages a certain alliances interests that alliance could well make ISS suffer the consequences (i.e. take over the outpost by killing their pos's).
Hehe i wont be suprised if 2 days after its construction some corp or alliance swoops by, caps the outpost and saves themselves a 26 billion isk bill 
On the other hand all could go well and we might even see more ISS trade hubs in 0.0 in the future.

I signed up for the ISS immediately without hesitation, as I knew it was a brilliant idea.
This is another one.

Actually just wondering; What would the ISS do if their station ends up in the middle of a war and both alliances want to use the outpost a stikebase?
Will they allow both to access it freely turning the station and surrounding into a warzone, possibly resulting in one alliance capturing it to prevent the other from using it.
Or possibly deny both access, possibly resulting in one alliance taking it anyway because they still want a strikebase?
Ive never seen the ISS defense force in action or heard of them being in action for that matter. The station sounds like a risky investment though...

Best of luck to ISS and good work chaps, you're the first ones to truely try and develop 0.0 space instead of simply closing it off for harvesting.

It would be good not to see some alliance take you guys out after you have finished building it.
You clearly seem to deserve to see this through and after that for just committing yourself to the idea and going by it knowing the risks.

This is the greatest step forward in 0.0 colonization since...
...well, ever. Maybe rivaled by the founding of SA, or CFS (which ultimately proved itself to be a bad idea).

awesome idea, but the question still remains. where? seems like this information would have to be made public before even selling the shares or building the outpost.

But yeah, as an idea this rocks.
Huzzah is trying to build a community in 0.0
We think we are succedding. Our aims and the aims of the ISS are similar, in fact there almost identical.
Huzzah Federation supports this idea wholeheartedly, and we hope it suceeds.
However, we have no current plans to get involved in this project.
Good luck to the ISS.

Nice idea but I doubt it will work. And by work, I don't mean "provide fun for lots of eve players" -- no doubt it will. But it will not work in "provide return to investors" way.

ISS, what changed your mind?
I think we'd all be interested to know why this quite sensible view has been overturned.

I'm sure ISS has thought this through and knows to make the proper modifications around it to solve the problem, they are not stupid let me assure you.

Even though I am technically hostile to ISS in certain regions, I will most likely invest in this myself... Maybe toss a couple hundred mil towards it  Eventually stock may be worth something and that is chance enough for me :) Doubt I'll get docking rights as I have shot at them and most likely will in the future, but still a good investment opportunity :p Besides its only money
I like to think of myself as the chlorine in the gene pool.
