Where's the effective "cost" of operating this structure ?
There should be a fuel consumption requirement, which is also in line with the stated desire by CCP to make resources more of a conflict issue.
It could be "cap charges" or isotopes... whatever. There has to be some "cost" involved for operation.

The russians that often don't really speak english have a problem. a big one.

Dracnys wrote:While I like the general idea of giving the small guy a way to annoy the big guys I have a few concerns here:
- Way too cheap. Siphoning units should cost at least 30m. Otherwise deploying and then losing them is completely meaningless. I think they should repay themselves in about 72 hours of siphoning.
- They shouldn't stack. If there are two of them on one tower it should only double their cargo capacity and not the amount siphoned per hour.
- 25 hours until full is not enough, make this 72 hours. Many players hate "having" to log in for something (skill queue, updating orders, checking siphon, patrolling POS) and even though it is a way to keep them log they tend to burn out quickly.
- Too small in cargohold. 20m3 for something that can hold 1200 when deployed? A frigate shouldn't be able to carry more than one.
- Having the API lie is a really bad solution. I don't have a great alternative either but I feel like all information given by API should be trustworthy.
- Have a skill that limits how many a player can deploy. Let's say 5 from the beginning up to a maximum of 10. Otherwise people will just fly around in a covops hauler and cover every single worthwhile moon in a region.

I like it, but watching this thread increase possiblity that it will be changet
The cost of 10 mils is ok, increasing it may only decrease the ammount of people that will use them.
But anyway you need to live in the space you have the POS... to decrease the chance of loosing stuff
It can be d-scaned so its not that big problem |

Aryth wrote:I do love to call the ball and then smug later about being right. So let me explain how this plays out to you.
Everyone will transfer valuable moons to closer holders who are then taxed or rent increased to offset this. So null blocs won't be impacted that rent or that have good C&C. However, this also means everyone is going to enter into doughnut pacts and you are going to watch null blue up and stagnate even more so than it is.
This is a terribly flawed design. We withheld judgement when this was first released thinking you would do this one right and it was an interesting mechanic and had the possibility for some fun interactions. You got it wrong on balance with multiple siphons and costs. Or you could simply make sure that whoever lives in that space is responsible for blowing up siphons whenever detected, which is childs play because they show up on Dscan or to probes. Usually people doing anoms in the system will detect any new siphons and blow the little buggers out of the sky, or give a heads up to the owner of the POS (probably the former, and will keep whatever little bit of material that has been siphoned off as a tip for services rendered).
Either way the person "seeding" the siphons will quickly learn what systems are pointless to seed and quit throwing away money and time trying to do so. When they do find a system that is sparsely inhabited, has a POS worth siphoning from, and has a lax owner he might make some isk for a limited time. Hopefully enough to offset the money lost on detected and blown up siphons, and the time wasted on this rather large daily effort. Again, these siphons will fill up quick and will need to be checked frequently... and any one of them could actually be a trap to decloak and kill you.
So no, not so simple. I know you guys are worried about this a bit, but in this rare case I think self interest is coloring your usual object analysis of new content.
One interesting question... do you have to get close enough to decloak yourself when emptying a siphon? To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

No one is saying towers should extract safely. At least not that I have seen. They are saying that siphons are so cheap that there is no meaning to losing one or spamming them and by extension being profitable to do while an owner sleeps. I can tell you that we would spam 100's or 1000's of these without thinking about it. That is the problem, the ISK/reward isn't balanced. Change that and maybe not allow multiples per tower and all is well.
But hey, if you guys thought SBU spam by us was bad, wait until you see this. Leader of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal. Vile Rat: You're the greatest sociopath that has ever played eve. |

The siphon units seem totally unbalance.
Siphon units are not automatically attacked by POS guns. Players can take manual control of POS guns to shoot at a siphon unit.
Why should POS guns not attack these items? Isn't that what they are for POS defence. POS defences cost CPU and PG impact on POS requirements. Suddenly super exemption tool with no
If POSes are to monitored 23.5 hours each day to prevent siphoning, then CCP should be equal in applying effort to keep siphoning running (i.e. requires 23.5 hours a day of active work )
If siphons are getting a special exemption on POS defences and notifications then requires effort by aggressor some suggestions:
Option 1)
POS exemption cause siphon to be unstable and decay, requires a certain amount of repairing each hour to keep in up. No risk no reward. (i.e. no repair after 45 minutes it is destroyed or offlines until repaired).
Option 2)
Requires fuel to run and must be fueled every hour. Fuel bay big enough for 1 hour of fuel.
Option 3) If CCP does not want 23.5 hours (mind safety and legal implications from this gameplay requirement)
Anti siphon deployable structures. These structure destroy or interfere with siphons. Must be destroyed before siphon will work. If effort got be put in to destroy siphon, then efforts got to be put in to deploy siphon.
Personal opinion: Siphon are way overpowered. Is CCP creating the next Crimewatch by putting exemptions and poor coding. Unintended consequences.
New feature should have balance in effort form attackers and defenders, not special biasis one way.

Congratulations, CCP. You managed to turn POSes from the ideal source of PvP-driven income (fighting over moons) into something that's somehow more soul-crushignly boring than PvE (log in alt, check overview, log out, repeat every 3 hours 24/7).
10/10, next time consult ALI Virgo in F&I, he has better ideas than this. |

Regarding Game Design:
Passive Income Streams should be the mopst at-risk income stream to active player intervention. The more active you (the owner) are, the less at-risk your income stream should be. Fully active income streams in EVE are actually the most dangerous/risky way to isk, as death from other pilots is always a concern outside High-Sec.
So while I think people appreciate that POS management is hard, POS owners should also realize that it's a mostly passive activity. Unlike Plex'ing, Ratting, Exploration of PvP, POS Operation does not require a direct one-for-one injection of time/effort -> isk.
In my view, POS's and Planetary Interaction should be the most easy isk-streams to interupt, steal from, disturb, disrupt, etc. The counter is that game design should create elements where additional active work on that stream meaningfully reduces the risk posed to it if it was left purely passive.
I believe this design meets that challenge.
If you want full income from your POS, a Corporate/Alliance level asset, you'll need to monitor it yourself more actively, or encourage your Corp/Alliance to actively police the space in which it lives/operates POS's.
Clearly, the most at-risk POS's here will be those of AFK Empires and AFK players who pop in once to fuel, then pop out again. And thats as it should be.
All of these factors should result in smaller empires and more policed Nullsec Space, opening opportunitires for renters/new nullsec holder, and promoting more PvP conflict as Alliances work to defend their lived-in space from raiders. |

I think the price is right, but the size is too small. Not every moon in the game is a R32 or R64.
They should be at least 120M3 so the soon to be uncatchable interceptors can't carry 6 or more in their holds.
if you don't want to check 1000 posses, than don't and find out if they're siphones when you empty them....

Oh yes, minor rebalancing. Awesome. CCP's new catch phrase.
I mean, pos guns, those need rebalancing. You'll do it right after that, right? It only took a full year of tech problems before you rebalanced that. Or Titan guns. Or Dominion sov. Or Faction Warfare. Or Level 4 missions...
Yes, rebalancing. |

Sadly, we're also the ones that will benefit the most on the 'free isk' faucet of the increased cost of goo. And the reactions that will go up in price too. You'll just get higher t2 costs down the road. So sure, if you want to pay more for t2 stuff with no benefit, it's awesome for you. |

never said that they should be safe to extract
i said that there should be some way or another for the POS owner to defend himself against these things. i for one would propose some kind of timer mechanic, so that a full syphon unit can only be picked up in a timeframe set by the defender.
As the Attacker: If you don't show up to grab the package (and be willing to fight for it) you loose it.
As the Defender: If you leave your POS undefended you will loose ypur stuff, if you show up with a bunch of small ships to defend it you might actually get a fight.

this entire mechanic is broken beyond belief.
There are people out there who work rather hard to keep their reaction chains going, it's a many hours per day or week job. Yes they make tons of money but it's not free money. I know people with 20 reaction towers in the same system and they are basically a 1-2 man corp.
You've just made their life entirely much much worse. Now they will be faced with 2 options. Either tear down their reaction chains entirely (which will lead to t2 everything going up in price if enough people do it) or watch their massive tower chains day and night making it a nearly full time job.
Given then number of people out there these things will be spammed all over the place making it a near impossible task to keep up with them on any sort of reasonable basis, eventually tower owners will just give up. Ultimately this will result in a lot less production towers which will result in increased prices on everything. Way to make pos people's life ever worse than it already is. You've truly shown you have no idea what you are doing once again CCP, way to go. |
