Isn't it about time we had this option.
An Attacking force should be able to capture an outpost or destroy it.
Simple.

Ok let me rephrase my statement, I know we can capture them.
I want to be able to destroy them!

Well, if you read the OP:
Originally by: Christopher Multsanti An Attacking force should be able to capture an outpost or destroy it.
That sentence means that he doesn't think it can be captured. Granted, might just be the language barrier, but we have to go with what is posted, not what we think it should mean instead.
Topic was called outpost Destruction.
keyword in my OP was "or".
So how about it then?

Originally by: Wrangler Well, there are things planned for Outposts in Kali 2 I believe, even if it probably wont go as far as destroying an Outpost.
Eve is a harsh place, always has been always will be.
A 2 day old noob can wander into 0.4 lose his ship he spent all his money on.
An alliance can spend months and months of manpower and assets on building a titan, only for it to be destoyed and all that work lost.
An oupost takes far less work than a titan or maybe even a mothership and, in some cases, it can take weeks to be in a position to take an outpost, after pos sieges/resitance/fleet battles etc.
Surely the option to just keep on shooting it into structure makes sense to Eve as a game. It fits in perfectly to everything else in Eve dosen't it?

Originally by: searchi of course e-r would want something like that. you never have anything to lose because you never build anything. unable to hold 2 stations for a prolonged time because you cant be arsed with the pos that are required for souverainity. no but you want to roam around destroing assets others worked for.
something e-r will never achieve. same is valid for outbreak and all the other pvp outfits which have no real home. go in, destruct and vanish with no fear of repercussion. because when it gets tough you can just leave.
make such demands if you own and hold space.

For your information, I was saying the same thing when we held 8MG/BWF and were attacking K25, I just never made the post until now.
In that situation it would have been better for us, to have been able to destroy the K25 outpost rather than capture it.
And if the threat was against our outpost we would have defendied it till the last man.
Back on topic: Lets not complicate things here, the same mechanics should apply to taking the outpost as they should to destroying it.
You shoot it until the shields are gone, you have now captured it.
You keep on shooting it, it is destroyed.
This i believe should only apply to Outposts, conq station should never be destroyed, only captured.

Originally by: Hans Roaming I think to make it fair then outposts, conquerable stations and NPC stations in 0.0 should be capturable and be able to have enough damage done to them to make them inoperable so they have to be repaired to be usable again.
QFT Let me destroy NPC stations .
Capture NPC stations maybe but even then I think thats going a bit far. You should not be able to destroy stations that have been in the game since almost the start.
Regions like Syndicate and Curse should always be regions where anyone can go explore 0.0.

Originally by: Shin Ra Then every alliance getting attacked would simply implement a scorched earth policy and nobody would ever get to conquer outposts.
I don't know what this scorched earth thing is, but you should not be able to self destruct it. It can only be destroyed.
Edit: to clarify, anyone can destroy it (if they have sov), so if you think you are going to lose your outpost and you have sov, then you can deploy the dreads and destroy it just like everyone else.

Originally by: Sochin If destroying outposts was possible I have a feeling that BoB would be visiting quite a few more Outpost systems in regions we aren't actively invading...
The same could be said in reverse, BOB is about to control the largest amount of 0.0 space anyone has ever controlled in this game that I can see. Someone could visit your outposts.
