Idea is simple make it imposible to self destruct ships inside force field of onlined pos.

I think this would bring more pvp content and make WH folks happy : X?

It would me much more fun to sige some pos for loot, Than reinforce it and than look how owners self destruct dozens of bilions in ships ... As much you would be able to strip the ships from modules; still the hulls would be worth some thing ... more than nothing! Pirate

You can just destroy modules in you cargo for a Reason. I think i you really wona to self destruct, you ought to leave the pos bubble Cool

Oh look, someone's mad that their enemy is strategically denying them the ability to take assets and/or pad their killboard.

I have to agree with Alvatore, this is just a method of stat padding.

If the person wants to destroy their own assets, let them.

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

Nope.

You are not entitled to the contents of a POS just because you happen to have it RFed. If the owner wants to salt the earth, so be it.

I think this says all that needs to be said.

-1 to your idea.

Denial of assets is a strategy and a perfectly good one if you don't want to spend the time bashing a POS because you may not get payed for it find something else to do there are already plenty of other reasons to hit a POS not to mention any non ship assets are still trapped in there for you to loot after.

Even better: shoot POS until they start self-destructing ships, record event, leave POS intact.

It's discouraging to RF towers in W space, in K space it's for the moon goo, but in W space there should be some mechanic to encourage to shoot towers. It would bring much more content, and from C1 to C6 wh would be on fire.


And you are steal able to evan most of your stuff from the POS any way ... Blink

The reason you people don't like this idea, is because you are afraid of would come.

I am sure that changing this mechanic would bring some fresh air to stale W-space.

Are Domination/True Sansha/Dark Blood/Shadow Serpentis/Dread Guristas towers not encouragement enough?

Moreover, why should people not be allowed to take the path of the scorched earth politics? Will you also root for the ban the self-destruction/trashing of ships/assets in destructible outposts once they arrive when they are under a timer?

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

You don't spend much time in J-space do you there it is extremely lucrative to RF towers and ransom them you can a lot of the time get more ISK than the value of the assets since they don't want to have to deal with moving and after that if you feel so inclined you can pop it and loot anyway even if they destroy the ships you still get to roll the loot fairy on any BPOs/mods they had in the other structures.

This. Its the most evil thing you can do in that situation.

Imagine the looks on their faces when they see your fleet stop shooting the POS at 5% structure and warp off after they've just self destructed all of their precious ships.. then when they write it all off.. the vid pops up in C&P for all to see.

Priceless, and much better than any killmail.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
