2. I predict there will be even more abandoned POSes out hogging all the spaces next to the moons. There needs to be some mechanic for these to be abandoned and destroyed in a reasonable amount of time after running out of fuel and failing to be maintained (like the secure containers that are lost, whether they hold goods or not).
Yeah, that's a good point, we'll note that one down. I get the horrible sensation that you think these changes are all good and positive. They are not. The reaction from industrialists that lead to all those abandoned towers will have serious negative effects on the market as well. What will you do when those of us who build things decide it's not worth it anymore and decide to say screw it, we're not building things? Will you just start seeding the market like on Singularity? These changes seem focused on driving up risk for poor return on the reward side. The inability to lock down and safeguard blueprints in a corporate hangar in a station means one thing, and one thing only: You're taking assets that we have spent years and years building, and giving us complete crap in return. Why even bother playing the game with changes like this? We're not removing the ability to lock down blueprints in your station. You can still lock down as before and build, research and copy using the infinite slots in the station.
I think I may just stop industry, after doing it fot the last 8 years. CCP you are moving the goalposts too far.
I'm all for updating Industry, some of the changes you are proposing are well thought out, others need more work and a few just need to be binned !
You are up to 50+ pages of comments on this one topic in just over a day. Are we all singing and dancing and saying how wonderful the changes are ? Perhaps you need a better consultation period when thinking about changes to the game, at the moment too many of these comments (I have read all 50+ pages, have you ?) are not happy with what you are proposing.
If you had previous asked me (you didn't), I would have made these 2 comments
- Continue to allow locked BPO's to be used from stations, perhaps adding a charge for the privilege.
- The POS interface/management should be updated prior to industry changes, the interface is too cumbersome to cope with the added complexity you are suggesting with these industry changes.
