I may be being useless but I can't find out what is planned (if anything) with Slots in Outposts, if you get rid of the slots what will the upgrades do?

The clever among us have pre-formed alt corporations. All this will do is make it so that alt corporations are formed far ahead of time for this specific purpose of avoiding the timer. Its mildly idiotic to have that restriction with that in mind. All you're doing is being an annoyance.

Edit: Also, dickstars. oh gods the dickstars...

At what point is a POS supposed to be worth it?

I save 10% taxes, sure, but then I'm paying fuel costs instead. So if manufacturing costs are 10% of sell price (probably overestimating), I would need to produce 20bil/mo worth of goods at a small POS in order to make it worth it vs producing at an NPC station in the same system? That's a total of 27mil/hr...

Seems a little absurd, especially considering that manufacturing costs will probably (hopefully) be less than 10%.

'I built this factory! Why should I have to pay for any workers or upkeep?!'

Now any large corp or alliance can go around and wardec smaller corps, kill their POS and then "grief" the site by putting up an offline POS they never intend to use. They could literally put up hundreds and then hide behind the sheer cost of warrdeccing them to hold the spots.

First of all I am not calling anyone out. Those are your words not mine. Pretty much any large group could do it.

This question right here is my point. Post-Crius high-sec POS will no longer be "useless".

As far as the rest of your questions...currently Pre-Crius there is no point. Post-Crius there will be. Will it be worth it to do so? I don't know. But I don't really want to find out.

I agree fully. Our corp spent an immense amount of time sorting out pilots to fly the Rorqual simply for it's compression mechanic that made it unique. The Rorqual must receive a bonus towards compression or they become obsolete. I do not want to think of it as a stupid mining boosting ship that has to consume fuel in order for the hulks to be efficient when that fuel consumption is in fact defeating purpose of the boosts. I am considering small mining ops.

I would hate to see the ship being sat useless as it actually becomes with the addition to the compression arrays making everything so simple for everyone. Sick of the dumbing down, really am.

I get there needs to be ISK sinks to counter all the artificially generated currency, but how did they get on **** I built?

Please dont do this, we will just be forced to make a lot of 1-alt corps to hop around to to avoid wardecs in the end nothing positive will come of it but it will be a headache for us all.

Man, I can wait to see the earliest set of CCP financials post Sept 2014.

By then, the full damage to the high sec player base will be demonstrated, and high sec players, particularly the high sec casual industrialist, will have made their decisions about this travesty.
