With the latest changes to industry, bpo's are belonged to be in POS for certain actions. There has been alot of risk added to researching and copy bpo's, in particulary in high sec.

On top of this, it is a well known fact that POS defence is based on relativly poor mechanisms. The POS batteries and missiles are long overdue and their stats (tracking, damage, ranges ect) are relics from the past. Since their introduction, nothing has changed about them, and other mechanics has been introduced that severly affects they performance (maurauders with bastion).

My idea it to introduce a emergancy fix for this, untill the POS overhaul is implementend.
My idea is to:
-Quick revise the stats batteries and missiles (tracking, optimal, fall-off, scanres)
-Double the current controllable guns with a character from 4/5 to 8-10 guns at a time
-Ability to lock more than 1 target at a time

We are expected to put more at risk but the concequences hasn't been thought out on this subject

For now, if you don't want to risk bpo, make a bpc.

This. With unlimited slots available, make a BPC in an NPC station and your BPO is never at risk.

OP: CCP has already stated that a relatively large overhaul of POS mechanics, and defenses in particular, is coming "soon", so I doubt they would do a quick fix in advance of a major update. Hold out a little longer and things should get better.

Also...queue the locator agents in 3...2...1....
