You mean, POS as pinata? yup...
Much the same way the interceptor changes have made my ratting battleships nothing but a pinata for the roaming interceptor gangs.
(Tin-foil hat warning!) The intent behind it to me is equally obvious . To make those of us who want to make enough ISK to buy a PLEX from the market unable to, in an attempt to force us to pay cash for said PLEX, or go back to subscribing.
Ponder this, CCP, the only reason I can afford to play this game at all is by buying PLEX with in-game currency. If I (and all the others in the same boat) are not able to do so, where then is the demand for the PLEXes that the "l33t PvPers" buy for cash so they can convert them to ISK? Let your economist out of that closet you have him hog-tied and gagged in. And listen to him before you totally destroy your game and livelihood.
If I cannot make ISK, I cannot buy PLEX. And then 5 accounts drop offline, never to create demand again for the $20.00 investment made by wallet warriors. I would not be the first to have done so. I have 3 friends who have logged off in Rorqs, Carriers, and even a Nyx in null-sec space, not caring if it later turned hostile, because they are "so totally done with this game." Those 3 real persons represented 17 accounts.
There are only two reasons I keep playing:
1) Masochism; and
2) The friends I have made here who still play.
Both reasons are rapidly losing their appeal. And my apologies to my friends for feeling this way, but all too many of them sympathize with me on that. |

In HS there are not so many pvp entities which have enough numbers in fleets to destroy an adequatly constructed pos with 5-8 pos gun operators. So, we will have a situation where a relatively small carebear corp of 20 characters (of which 10-15 are alts) will become able to easily have up to 10 pos gun op-s and keep a 'death star' pos almost undestructible for pvp entities which can't gather more than 20 people in fleets. Even some weaker pos configurations will become much easier to defend.
tl;dr: This skill change makes HS pos-s overpowered, because: no capitals, not so many medium-sized or big pvp organizations.
Ummmm... If your POS has 50 assembly arrays anchored and online, just how many guns and hardeners can it field??
Further, where do you get the "not so many pvp entities in hisec?" i know of a couple of rather large-ish outfits that are no doubt chomping at the bit for this to happen. Also, if there is a nice juicy POS to shoot, what is to keep a nullsec corp or alliance from coming in to do just that? We does has spaceships; they cans go places... |

You might be able to have a deathstar fully online, packed with arrays that are mostly offline.
Then what is the point behind making us anchor all those, if we are just going to be able to offline them as soon as the job is installed? Has CCP invented/obtained patent rights on a mechanical index finger replacement for when I wear out my original issue? |
