Player Features and Ideas Discussion

One thing that every major alliance or aspiring nullsec / lowsec corporation does is put out as many isk making pos's as they can. Mainly to do things on an alliance or corporate level such has provide reimbursement programs for their players fulfilling certain roles within their fleets etc.

That being said, It takes a ton of time depending on the breadth of space your alliance / corporation owns. Whether your setting up moon mining, jump bridge pos's, jump beacon pos's etc. On an alliance level this can take up several players entire day to either setup or maintain said pos's and structures.

It would be much easier say for example each corporation within a given space deploys and sets up several predetermined pos's on predetermined moons, setting up the network much quicker. Once setup is complete, transferring ownership of said structures to the alliance for alliance use.

As far as maintenance is concerned, it would be nice if the original corporation members who setup said structure along with the alliance holding corp that the pos was transferred to were able to fuel and maintain / gun set reactions etc for said pos. This would greatly improve the efficiency of an alliance setting up their internal infrastructure. Versus leaving it for a certain few to do all the work...

This could also provide more content for pirates, possibly ransoming control of the pos for a fee before its destruction etc. possibly employing the game mechanics that we use for player owned stations in null when you have to go through the shield timer then an armor timer, give the option to seize control of the asset or allow the assets destruction. If this were real life and we had taken to the stars, I don't think we would entirely remove/destroy a structure before someone else could take the moon for themselves.

As it is with all ideas, I am sure there are areas of this I have not looked at or thought completely through. I greatly appreciate any and all feedback on this as I am certain it would need fine tuning. I think though the idea is sound.
