maybe its an idea to introduce a game mechanic to somehow loot / scoop an ( empty ) offline tower thats just been hanging there for months/weeks.

In highsec you need to wardec the corp (50mil) and then you still need to take it down ( takes long if you solo it.) maybe you could evoke a timer on it, maybe 7 days or something after that time maybe you can take it down without wardeccing? or scoop it?

this applys mostly to empty offline pos towers because if there are mods anchored some people will still be interested in wardecceing to scoop the mods, but if its empty nobody cares.

any insights?

I'd say a month but I get your point. This'd make roaming through null and abandoned wormholes more lucrative.

Maybe even require hacking of tower/mods before being able to scoop them

I say just make them decay after 30 days without use.

Not a forum alt.

maybe ccp can introduce a special siphon unit that converts ownership of the empty pos tower?

In higsec/lowsec off line tower after 15 days will become unanchored.
Any one can scope at this point tower.

A new mobile deployable.

Nothing annoys me more than the 'virgin space' called WHs having a crapton of stuff lying around for months on end. Its a joke how bad its got. POS that have been offline in systems for 20 months - solo player needs 8 hours to take down,

After 30 days of inactivity, they become hackable!

A succesful hack gives you access to the tower.

Sounds like fun!

After two failed hacks, the tower goes kaboom? Right? Right?

Because that might be more fun than accessing it.
