I have heard rumors, some (if not all) Moon Goo is looking at getting revamped. The idea I keep hearing is the moon goo will be distributed in the asteroid belts in the same planet cluster as the moon.
I can see the benefit from this, making them more accessible. But arent they supposed to be hard to get? MOON GOO STARTS WARS!
People fight over these moons. You are taking away a yet another wat catalyst if you take all the Goo out of the moons. (CCP must be trying to kill wars off)
If anything, the moon goo from belts should be a watered-down version of the real stuff, so POS's specifically setup for Moon Goo won't be obsolete.
/maybe i'm wrong, like i said, I still have a lot of catching up to do.
Well - they were very unclear on the subject, but I assumed they'd add them to some nullsec systems whilst leaving the old POS-based system untouched.
In case that assumption is true, I think it's a good idea. Moon POSes are good, because as you said they're a catalyst for conflict. Except for Supercap building (which mostly serves fighting for moons and can be done in some rented backwater), there is not much reason to hold sov.
Pretty much anything else can be obtained from somewhere else with less risk (that might change with nerfs to mission loot and drone poo).
So currently, the only means to get the only thing of value in nullsec involves putting a POS in reinforced, wait for it to come out, put your own up and defend that.
For smaller entities that means as soon as it's a valuable moon, it will either belong to PL, Raiden., NC. or Goons which will either blob you with a couple of Supers or a bazillion people and tbh it should be like that - why should some small entity with a BS fleet be able to hold one of the most valuable ressources?
However, this is also a problem as it leads to 0.0 wastelands - the superpowers living there only log in after a Jabber-ping to defend a moon pos once in a while unless there's a major war going - and why should they? The moons provide the money they pretty much have a monopoly on and they couldn't care less if some small roaming gangs passes through as anything of real value is safe anyway, has massive EHP and a timer on it.
For the same reason, smaller entities have abslutely no reason to go there - there is nothing of value to be stolen and no fights to be had - so if ringmining doesn't once more involve a giant blob, it could be a great incentive to populate nullsec.
