Now those depots are a nice idea. But what is preventing high sec miners from anchoring them directly in the belt and get a save can (yes you can shoot it, but there will be a reinforced mechanic)? Or is that intended? Doesn't that make the ships with the large ore hold obsolete? am i missing something?

Didn't they say *anybody* can take from them ?

Which will very quickly come under control of the NS alliances

Which will very quickly come under control of the NS alliances... i dont see any LS/HS corp or alliance in any short or long run getting a chanse here to "build"... we adding more space to NS, and we give them more stuff they can do.. including gates etc.. all nice, IF the "small guys" also would/could be involved - but they wont be... 10 sec after the space comes online, u gonna see the race of the NS alliances with theyre capitals ready to jump in.. the entire system are flawed, if we really seriously talking bout "every corporation should have a chanse, with hard work and dedication to claim a part of space for themself".. it wont happen - the game as it works, will let anyone "by force" take what they want.. and by force usually is when someone jumps in theyre little 1000 man fleet and claims the area.. you dont like it.. to bad..

A more correct describtion would be "we are adding more space for the NS alliances, and now they can build theyre own gates".. eve future changes will contiounsly move control over to players - which would be alright - until u realise that theyre moving HS space into beeing nullsec.. adding more space, wont let more players do fun stuff.. it will let those "few" in the NS Alliances control more of the game, and control more space, getting more moons, etc etc.. there nothngin the long run that will benifit the HS playerbase what so ever.. on the contrary.. its not a coincidence that main focus are on fixing exploration, adding exploration ships, adding player controlled this or that.. and at same time ignoring anything and everything that has anything to do with HS.

All you get is a suspect flag for shooting depots, so you'll probably want to be careful as to how and where you use them. People will be out looking to blow up your pretty toys, as it should be.

Um no, that's where you are wrong and your attitude is typical Goon sentiment. Go bury your head in the sand, you obviously don't have a clue

Balancing forever, that should be a much more proper expansion name than Rubicon. Even Odisey 1.1 had more features than this so called expansion. No new content, no new features, is all about rebalancing .. again and again. I was seriously hoping for player built gates, opening of Jove space or at least the damn door in the CQ,.. this is hilarious. I feel that CCP somehow abandoned EVE and now is focusing only on Dust or that valkirye stuff

And giving away the pocos in hi sec.. really?! So any null sec alliance can take them over for **** and giggles and halt any PI production in hi sec for noobs and eventualy crash the PI market. Came excited, left extremely disapointed :/ 0/10

Please enlighten me. What do WiS and Dust have to do with Eve.

I'll take this one, that's easy. WiS was meant to be a feature in EVE and Dust is incorporated in the EVE Universe.

You don't think there will be a value in securing factory planets in High Sec with 0 tax? It's not always the resources on the planet that make it valuable, but what you can build on the planet that makes it valuable.

Although you might be correct in some way, unfortunately they do have something to do with EVE online, your logic fails there Rhes.

Eve is spaceships.

anyone will be able to attack those highsec poco's .. without concord intervention
the owner player/corp/alliance will be free to set taxation rates

if you think the tax rates are too high .. LAUNCH YOUR **** DIRECTLY INTO SPACE and pay no tax, your not forced to use the orbiting POCO .... it's not rocket science

Now you're just trolling.

More likely to be used in docking games just off the undock. Refitting mid-fight to get an edge or stash away the bling mods inside before they go down.

At present High sec planets have virtually no value in comparison to Low/Null/W-Space counter parts. So to hear CCP Fozzie speak today on EVE TV about fights over valuable High Sec planets seems 'odd' - the only value for those that are heavily invested in Planetary Interface has been as a safe haven for High-Tech Commodities production since the implementation of POCO's in Low Sec on Temperate and Barren planets with a static taxation rate.

This seems insufficient to constitute presuming any High Sec planets to be 'valuable'.

Hence the promotion of the idea that there will be greater immersive game play based on competition for 'valuable planets' in High sec is disingenuous at the most, and a 'gaffe' in the least; unless there is a parallel and slight re-balancing of the resource concentrations to create high value planets in High Sec without dissolving the current hierarchy of PI Resource Concentrations being commensurate with greater risk - which absolutely should be maintained.

Moving the sliding scale of PI further to the right 'across the board' will help bring a reality to the statement of 'valuable' High Sec planets - of which currently there are none.
