What's ridiculous is the amount of pos there are. Making them harder to maintain = far fewer pos = good.
right answer
jump logistics is part of the pos problem
Your joking right? This will only mean that now instead of every alliance big or small being able to own a system through pos spam, now only large alliances with titains will be able to. This wont hurt pos spamming on the large alliance scale, this will make it almost impossible for a small alliance to hold and secure space, This only promotes alliances with titains to start taking over more space because of the lack of smaller alliances ability to effectively move fuel without the carriers as is.
T2 frighters huh? you kidding right, only 8 bil isk huh, thats not a small number to most smaller alliances either, and the skill sink in it is huge, with poor jump range even at JDC lvl 5 its not going to be good jump range. Mean while large Alliance X jumps in a titain, opens a jump portal and BAM 3 normal cheap in comparsion t1 freighters jump in with fuel pos parts, and refuel a whole system of pos's and takes all the mins to highse, around the same time small alliance x has to make 30 jumps from highsec to lowsec with 3 freighters, and a huge gang to defend it, if they can even get a huge gang togather, and if they can't then they are taking a huge risk with the 3 all I can do is hual stuff around ships. Have you ever been 10 jumps moving at .7 au/s, or 20, how about 30, your talking about 6 to 8 hrs depending on the range in those systems, just to get them there, now then you have to fly back, thats stupid.
Then again you say t2 freighters, OK so even if they small alliance can afford one and they get a pilot for it. its not even comming out with this patch. so what till then, all the small alliances are in huge risk of loseing what little space they have. not a good idea. If you want to remove ships from having cargo in them in the sma, then the corp hanger bay, and the cargo hold need to be made much bigger. I myself wouldnt mind hualing stuff in my own cargo hold, and CHA instaed of holding and indy ship full of stuff. and small ships should be allow to hold ammo and such, otherwise may as well anchor the carrier in space put up a pos sheild and us it like a mobile pos.
The problem is POS mechanics and POS tied to sov. Part of that problem is jump logistics, making maintaining pos easier.
I would like to see them change POS mechanics, to make it less of a job and less time consuming, its stupid now.
