You guys sure do care a lot about that outpost, I wonder why that is?

Well, there's one CLEAR answer.
Outposts should be destroyable. By the owner. Self-destruct..BOOM.

You guys are funny ......
BoB didn't want Trust holding EC-P8R (Capital Ship Yards)...... so they took it ... Fact
BoB want to move on and leave EC-P8R... Fact
BoB are / were not going to simple give it back to them ... Fact
Option ..... Only 1 ... Fact
Get a third party to manage it ..... and as there is only 1 alliance in Eve who can / does run multiple outpost ... ISS
It doesn't take a "brain surgeon" to work out why things happened but it looks like it takes a few idiots to write dribble in this post ...
I prefer the ISS allowing me to dock in EC-P8R than getting destroyed by 600 BoB ..

Taking it to manage and have it free for the general public is good, its in ISS spirit, BUT: when they take it, and want to build whole business plan how to make money out of it, is NOT fine.
They can fund the needed poses by moon mining, no need to excuse it as the reason to rise funds, come on  ---------------------------------------------- All my posts are my own opinions and dont not represent any organization until stated otherwise. |

BoB doesn't have the option of sticking around in EC. They have given it to their industrial friend alliance for management. ISS is now raising 20+ billion isk for something they haven't built. BoB gets a cut of the isk.
ISS is not neutral.

I dont think i could even think of a bigger mistake for a self proclaimed "neutral" alliance to make.
I was going to keep you friendly to iron, that just changed.
Curious as to why IRON (or what is left of it) would care at all considering they're all pulling out of Deklein.
I thought the remainder of IRON didn't care for territory and POS's anymore... so why bother posting?
Rather contradictory.

I do think it was bold move for a nuetral alliance.Only because of the events that unfolded there.Well not only that but, if I was trust I would be hiring every merc corp in game... but I would of also did that the day it happened to camp off torrinos etc.
Personaly I think people are just happy to shoot at ISS due to the thoughts of tech II drops.Another twist in the plot and more things to go pop.

You're retaining a 10% stake in this station. That's hardly "not for profit"...

Or better, after you've had sovereignty for say one week you can "deconstruct" the outpost, needing a fair amount of time while internal structures are cut away etc and requiring the owners to haul away significant amounts of scrap metal etc (up to say 25% of the minerals put into it or something) before the station can be successfully destroyed.

Tech 2 drops? I'm still impressed that people think we're doing well. We're constantly fighting in frigates and cruisers, and we've been getting public funding for our outpost construction.
We're not doing _too_ bad, but we're really not one of the rich alliances. -- We are recruiting

ISS, you could have said no 
But we don't know what pressure ISS were under.
God knows what BoB could have said to them if they didnt accept - perhaps ISS were scared after seeing what happened to EC... I don't think any of this will be that simple.
Its a brave move for ISS, and I genuinely believe they mean well... And I can see how it would work.
But don't for one second think that they didnt have a gun held to their head when they 'agreed' to do this.

I really can't work out why IRON are complaining about this - for exactly that reason.
They can dock and use the outpost, their enemies can't, but here they are posturing and whining.
Maybe they need to stop and think before making any more posts flaming ISS for trying to provide a compromise which, to my eyes at least, seems to work very favourably for IRON considering they thought they lost access to that outpost for good.
Making threats to the ISS just makes IRON look weak and lacking in strategic direction. Take it to BoB, they are the ones who conquered the outpost, then most likely forced ISS to manage it.
Its just a IRON reaction, they haven't actually sat down and thought about the situation and what the alternatives are. And how this situation actually benefits them, and having ISS manage the outpost will benefit everyone. Apart from those unable to dock there (5, ASCN, BoB).

Presumably because they can't blow it up, and they don't want to have to hold it. And maybe, they respect our position - we're trying to be the infrastructure that allows 'proper' economies in 0.0. Personally, I think that's only to the benefit of EVE. And maybe BoB et. al do to. After all, at a worst case it's more targets and better battles. -- We are recruiting

Or maybe some of the northern residents are trying to look at this objectively rather than simply from the point of view of their own interests? Yes, it may be great for IRON, but that doesn't preclude IRON from coming to the conclusion that it's a questionable move for ISS.

Edited by: prsr on 07/04/2006 13:26:12 So as a prospective investor, uhm, how is ISS going to protect this station from takeover?
It seems a bit odd that ISS expects people to buy shares in a second hand outpost that is quite likely to be captured again soon. Especially with the rather high amount of moons in the system compared to the outposts they have built themselves that make it quite expensive to hold against an agressor.

Originally by: Sitri Question - Why is ISS selling shares in a completed outpost? Surely the idea was to sell shares to create an outpost since its so expensive?
Who is going to get most of the profits from this?!? Any guesses? Easy 10-20b for....answers on a postcard 
Clearly this is a major sticking point for people: Where is the money from the sale of shares going to go? I don't know what the plan is myself, I wish I did.
So, Count, Serenity? I'm a member of ISS and I don't want to see us go down in flames, which is what is going to happen if you don't explain to everyone where the money is going to go.
This needs to be sorted out soon, because the damage may already have been done.
