20M/week against a POS owner isn't all that significant. It's a billion ISK+ venture costing ~15M/day in fuel and can be ransomed for far, far more than a wardec.
Defensive alliances are where it's at. All the POS operators in an area (everyone within 2 jumps, say) should band together and all join any wars, sending a few mercs each; then it would take a very powerful aggressor to get anything done. |

And if someone shoot it...dont have any friends?? Ok you dont have. no prob at all. But a Tower doesn t cost more then a HAC so... who cares?
And a tower's the only thing to lose?.. What about multiple 100M labs? A month's worth of fuel (450M for a large)? Things in construction (in 60M facilities)... It's an expensive proposition. |

Yes the Tower is the only thing you loose, you can unanchor the labs when wardec is incomming or you can gamble if the attack the tower or not, its your joice. The only thing what happens is that you feel a little bit annoyed by anchor and unanchor and maybe you loose a longrun copy job If you thing all this is to bad to do it then feel free to use NPC Station, then you have to wait a little bit or buy copy and research from someone else And again there are no juggernauts with "YARRRRR we destroy all your Highsectower!!!!11111" It is boring, it happens from time to time but not on a regular basis. And if it happens and you have no friends then hire merc or unanchor your labs whatever, its not 100% save anymore and that is fine
Heh, hadn't considered the period between the wardec and the siege. I'll quietly bow out now... You could remove the tower too, couldn't you, and just lose the spot?

Since you're allowed to bring in allies, defensive alliances could offer a great deal of protection. It would be great if they could formalize that. If some bullies are working over POS owners, it's in the interest of local POS owners to contribute mercs to the conflict and make sure the aggressors never enter the system(s) again. And POS owners don't tend to be poor, so it should be manageable...
Just need to overcome the bystander effect.
Maybe a system could even hire a merc corp to set up shop full time, running their missions nearby and joining any wars that threaten the system. |

So by deccing one group you can get a target rich environment? Same reason people dec goons now even though it costs billions, you're assured to get some kills.
Hmm, good point. I guess the group could submit money for a single large merc hire so that only one target is vulnerable but there's still collective defense. |
