Yet the goons will be the ones least effect by this change
iwe read carefully what you written, im a small player, i am just me, part of CAS, and fairly loosly organiced npc corporation thats bascially run like a player corporation, when i play, its rarely for maximum gain, or winning EvE, its about having FUN, i refine most ores and scrapmetal at 100%, and most scrap metal from highsec, gives me zydrine and megacyte, you probably laugh at this, but we are playing on totally difrent aspects and levels, i just contract all my minerals, and a few hours later, ill get a pay, i think last batch netted me around 700mil, peanuts for most of you null seccers, but in comparion to what we fly and what we loose, my isks pile up just fine
And this with siphons, give me the ability to go on a adventure to try steal some, it probably be very little, if id ewe succed, but it be something to do, and a mission in its own, ewen if i get blown up, it comes down to, like what most gankers does, its not about the isk, its about that i can, and this DO give me a way to harvest the tiny amounts we in CAS need of rare materials we cant otherwise get, that we have to buy, now we dont have to
If i am one of those that tinker like this, alot of other people will probably reason in the same way
Look, I may be in null sec but I do not have billions of isk.
Don't believe what a lot of people say on these forums that all people in null sec are rich because its all crap.
The siphon units will hurt people like you. People who are not trying to earn billions but a few hundred mill here and there.
Those small group of players who have a pos here and there in low sec will get hit hardest whilst those with pos's in null will just earn even more isk.
Sure you will go out and first and try and steal some moon goo, great, but after a while the novelty wears off and your just wasting isk you will stop, as will many other people.
All that will be left is those people who will fly around low sec griefing small corp pos owners.
These people will bring down there pos's but no new ones will go up as there will be no point.
That is my problem with the siphon units.
They do no damage to the null sec alliances and will only be used as griefing tool against the smaller corps in low sec.
The result will be less low sec moon mining pos's which in turns means more isk for the null sec alliances.
They hurt the small corps, the guys trying to make a few hundred mill here and there, not the big alliances which is what they seem to be aimed at.
I have a good friend who plays the game very much like you. He has a moon mining pos in low sec. He did the math and a couple of siphon units will completely destroy the small profit he makes from the tower.
Like he said, if he gets continuously hit he will just take it the pos down as it isn't worth the time and effort.
