Seconded. High-sec needs mechanics to keep these resources in active circulation. Use it, or lose it.

There is no problem. If the moon is abandoned, someone will take it off as and when they want it. The only reason there are offline POSes is because there isn't enough demand (in that location) to make it worthwhile. Though I guess if you all want to go suspect instead of keeping concord on your side and AFKing it in an oracle or two, go ahead. Well its pain to WD a dead corp to remove a derelict I dont have to wardec the family of the original owner of a derelic shop in a city to buy the plot from the council * Vote MTU For CSM * *Free The Jita 1* "They feel the need to cover their ears and eyes in horror at your very presence." - Pontianak Sythaeryn "Facebook would never tolerate that behaviour we are talking about" - Big Lynx

An offline POS is not automatically an abandoned POS. True, but what about the ones that are? And what about exploiting the system in places other than highsec simply as a "towel on a sunlounger"? Im not trying to start an argument here, Id like to know your opinion on the second, and the first just bugs me. Lucas Kell wrote: Secondly, a suspect flag would be quite amusing. A bunch of DPS heavy battleships shooting a POS for ages with a suspect timer? Talk about handing out kills.

Im not trying to start an argument here, Id like to know your opinion on the second, and the first just bugs me. My opinion is that there is already a method to get rid of them. Someone put the effort, time and isk into setting up their POS, and you need to spend effort time and isk to remove it. It really doesn't matter the degree to which they use it. Then I would like an item that is a POS tower filled with concrete like a bollard that I can start deploying all over just to block everyone's use of moons I think are pretty :) * Vote MTU For CSM * *Free The Jita 1* "They feel the need to cover their ears and eyes in horror at your very presence." - Pontianak Sythaeryn "Facebook would never tolerate that behaviour we are talking about" - Big Lynx

It's called a control tower. It blocks off moons until players dismantle it. Feel free to plant as many down as you like.[/quote] So should the same rationale not be applied to the tower's modules too? And what is an inactive tower doing that its preventing another being set up? Seriously dude, they make no logical sense and the POS overhaul wont be a moment too soon coming. * Vote MTU For CSM * *Free The Jita 1* "They feel the need to cover their ears and eyes in horror at your very presence." - Pontianak Sythaeryn "Facebook would never tolerate that behaviour we are talking about" - Big Lynx

If they don't: 1. June release introduces changes to compression array, where ore compression is now a big important deal in high sec. 2. goons themselves or their pets RvB to immediately wardec all small corps in any vicinity to Jita, Amarr, whatever major trade hub they feel like. 3. All POS's that can be easily destroyed are. 4. goons / RvB put up a ton of small pos's in their place, but don't fire them up, effectively dead-zoning the moon. 5. goons / RvB have with this move now effectively choked off the ability to compress ore for tons of people. 6. goons do fire up a few POS's of their own, in select areas, to support their own ore compression abilities. 7. goons now control the compressed ore market in high sec, as they are one of the few people able to actually buy ore and compress it. They might even start now.

Towers are one per moon, online or offline, by design. The idea is to make it so people have to attack each other for them. yes, but if it belongs to an empty inactive corp and its been out of fuel for three years, thats not about to drive much conflict. And by design of arbitrarily reducing the amount of POSes in the system, even though there is no real reason theore couldnt be a POS at the LaGrange and Nadir points of the moon without any chance of them going anywhere near each other. Im just picking at the lack of lore and the poor construction.
