Shooting Structures is not fun.
Doing missions suck.

Why do you hate people that just want to see the universe burn?

1.

They're not POSes; they share none of the mechanics or functions of POSes; they have a completely different purpose than POSes. They're to POSes what star gates are to stations: just because both hang around in space and can be docked with doesn't mean they are supposed to work the same in any way.

Two completely different things working completely differently doesn't in any way GÇ£break the game".

This would be a considerable expense, if not for the fact that high sec is primarily populated by players like you.

I think Goons POCO'ed OPs factory planet.

Your argument is missing the rest of the story. By your logic there should also be standings needed to even do PI on planets as well as the need to fuel the command centers. How dare any player be allowed to even set up on a planet and tinker with PI before they have done endless grinding, paid charters, and bought fuel?

Please give it a rest. It is a different game mechanic and it works just fine. Unlike the datacore issue (which is still free money BTW, they just taxed it basically) this is somethings that someone CAN take away from you if they want to. However, in most cases, the cost of doing so isn't going to give you a worthwhile return on your investment in the near term. There isn't a lot of isk to come from most of the high-sec planets, they are a limited resource and a competitive market.

That is blatantly obvious because if you actually did PI, you'd recognise that the RVBee POCOs have lower taxrates than the NPC ones they replaced.

As has been suggested in the last three threads like this: you are correct, they should get rid of the standing requirements for hisec POS as well.

Thank you for furthering this point. Hopefully CCP will realize this oversight, and further reduce boring standings grinds as a barrier to fun.

As always, I point to Poe's law.

Sure, POSes could certainly have their highsec idiocy level reduced and the standings grind could certainly do with a good shotgunning behind the shed, but there are enough people who genuinely believe the nonsense the OP puts forth so it's worth responding to.

Actually there is a way to anchor a POS without the player having to do a standings grind. You just hire someone that already has the standings to build/run your corp for a week and then you have a week to put up all the towers you want.

I am still trying to see where this is breaking the game as the OP is claiming. Both systems are based on established game mechanics, similar yet different. The game mechanic for the high sec POCO is the taxation by the NPCs and the fact that the resources on the planets are fairly poor. The game mechanic for the high-sec POS is the need for standings (trivial, it really is) and the need for charters (also trivial). Otherwise there is no difference in play between high-sec and the other regions of space.

Being in hisec only means that unsanctioned aggression comes at a greater cost than elsewhere. Minimizing player control has never been a guideline for hisec, nor should it be.

Even if they introduced standings requirements for setting up POCOs, ours are already set up and any new ones would simply be anchored under a corp with the appropriate standings. This wouldn't be a challenge at all.

Not really, no.
POCOs have more in common with a Dominix than they have with POSes (and the commonalities there are very small).

So them not following the same rules as POSes makes at least as much sense as Dominixes not following those rules either. As others have pointed out, the best solution would be to remove most of the restrictions on POSes GÇö pointlessly applying those restrictions on something that's meant to highly unrestricted would be a move in the wrong direction and doesn't make any sense to begin with.

So again, two completely different things working completely differently does not break the game.

Her point is you are trying to compare an apple to an orange, HTH.

Someone who uses logic and reason to rip apart your statements does not make them a troll.

You seem to have the bar set pretty low as to when a game is "broken".

Gah. Haven't I repeated myself enough times so that you know that PI in high-sec isn't worth the clicks it takes.

Sure its free isk, but miners make 1000% more mining veldspar a month. Its not worth the time hauling the goods to Jita.

What? 100 million a month per account. That's chump change.

Hey guys I have zero knowledge of the mechanic in question but I believe its broken because...things...

*logic enters*

Hey guys I still have zero knowledge but....but....


Face it, tippia just handed you your arse on a plate.
