would it not be possible to have a feature where abandoned pos's could be claimed by salvage rights or piracy hijacking, if its off line or abandoned rather than these structures just cluttering up space?

No

If the POS is Anchored, Detroy it yourself, if in HighSec then WarDec the owning corp and then destroy it. Stop being Lazy.

Abandoned POSes can be claimed by the right to blow it up.

Old idea, lots of people want this not only yourself.

Personally I don't think it's lazy at all, in fact the opposite. It would keep POS managers on their toes. If their POS is offline for even an moment it could be gone before you get there to add more fuel.

If the shields are down it makes perfect sense that it's now vulnerable in many ways.


Personally I think it would make NULL warfare more interesting as well by adding additional rewards to the conquerors by being able to swipe up their opponents infrastructure.

No longer will POS's scattering an abandoned region be a simple FU to the people that kicked you out, but instead it is their reward.

I'm both for and against this, I guess. On one hand, it would make sense to be able to capture abandoned POS's or salvage them. On the other hand, capturing POS's means that demand would go down, and that would affect the markets, especially in the period after wartime when some coalition or another moves into their new space. Generally speaking, I don't thing reducing the amount of explosions in EvE is a good thing, and this would definitely mean less POS's destroyed. That being said, I'm sure many null-sec pilots would cry out for less structure grinding at the end of Sov wars. All in all I think that both Sov and a POS's role in Sov need to be rethought before something like this comes into the game. Basically, POS's need to be redone when Sov is redone. Too bad that is unlikely, because successfully redoing both Sov and POS's in the same expansion is probably impossible.
