Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I have an idea it might not be a good idea but could create a new role and help clean up space of old POS that have been left un-fueled for a long time.
I have come across a lot POS that have not been fueled and know a couple that have been abandoned for over a year.
So why not make a system to take these over / steal them.
So how might this work:
If a POS has not been fueled for 15 days, then it becomes “at risk”.

To take over a POS you will need to hack the on board computers, so using the new Hacking system you could hack the POS:

Small has 1 hack needed
Medium has 2 hacks needed
Large has 3 hacks needed

Once hacked you will have the options to:

Take over and refuel
Take down to be used as you want
Steal anything in it or in ship hangers etc

This would mean if you find a POS say in a WH long abandoned a smaller corp could move in without too much logistics. This could encourage more corps into WH, Low and Null space. But normal standings rules will apply in High Sec.

Well please comment and put your ideas up but this could be a fun a useful addition, and should not take CCP not to much coding as most of the elements are already in game.

personally i'd far prefer it just gets destroyed and you go spend you hard earnt isk on a new POS.

keep the economy running an all

The economy would keep going with this idea. It might even increase.

First, the player could either take over or dismantle and sell the POS. If he sells the POS, that not only makes the sale, but frees up a moon for another POS.

If there is loot left in the POS, that could be sold on the market.

That was how I looked at it and would mean that some people might make this a new way to make isk and get lost isk back into the system[/quote]

Yep, more about making moons available than finding free POSs. Those buggers are all over the place!

I've been thinking about this for the past few days. It's really wierd when you find 5 POS in one system and they are all offline just sitting there. There should be a way of making people pay for leaving their stuff offline without bashing it.

Weapons are ineffective against offline POSes in highsec owned by disbanded corps. You cannot wardec non-existent corp.

Thanks for the input, I hope someone from CCP has a look or might even comment please keep pressing like if you like this idea. and its a good point that you can't take down a POS in high sec unless you war dec the corp and if the corp has shut then it's there till someone from CCP takes it down.

Nice

Hi

Well I have not given this a bump for a week or so, any other ideas on how this might work

+1 and while were at it, how about getting rid of that boatload of containers hanging outside a lot of the starter system's station?

Would be great usage point for new hacking mini game. It is an old but great idea.
