Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So, another silly idea, of throwing something out-there till it sticks.

So, I decided to think up something, new - I know I know, I already hear the groans from the community now.


The idea was player stations that have been abandon, left without fuel, and adding a manual abandonment button.

So, fuel and resources, posses need them to run. Well what happens to structures that run out of fuel? Well not much, they sit there till someone comes along and blaps it. But what if after a set amount of time. I say about a month of time without being refueled at all, what if the pos starts to slowly become a relic site. Things left behind are either morphed or destroyed. NPC pirates move in to the abandon site and start to basically take over.

Now what is the benefit of hunting down player relics. Well there can be a number of benefits, Like lets say a few ships were left behind in the hanger and it became a relic, then those ship could in theory be turned into BPCs as the npc pirates themselves start try and reverse engineer them for their own uses. Maybe some of the ships can be converted into pirate versions of the hull, items on them would of course drop off and ectra.

Abandonment button: This concept is simple if a corp wants to simply abandon the pos instead of going through the effort to organizing a group to unanchor and scoop everything up/out. Which basically instead of waiting X amount of time, the pos is instantly classes as abandoned, however it still takes a month for the NPC pirates to move it and all the amazing conversion of things into pirate own posses to happen.

Why do I suggest a month? Well in my opinion if a pos/structure is left without use and power then it basically classed as abandon, and unlikely to be used, however just adding one block of fuel will reset the timer on the abandonment of station.

Well the general idea was that this will affect all structures, what comes from the effects will be slightly different from structure to structure though. I just used posses as an example as those are what I'm most familiar with.

Edit: And when it comes to things like citadels, when they start to relic, people's stuff will act as if the citadel was destroyed.

Actually not even close! You know why? Relics don't destroy themselves! Instead they become even more of a pain in the ass to deal with.

Hmmm.

I mean if you want to make a connection to removing a pos/poco from a moon the only real advantage of a reliced site would it would have no reinforce timer, however it will still have all the HP as well NPCs protecting it. It still wouldn't be a easy thing to remove to tell you the truth. And even then, It would still be easier to wardec the corp to kill the offline pos/poco then it would be to wait an entire month or more for the site to become relic. But hey, thank you for your well received input in showing off how you actually don't read before posting! Have a nice day.

Don't POSes just mean "Player own structure...." Hmmm *Rubs chin* Isn't citadels player own, and a structure?

If you cannot afford something you shouldnt own it.


Also you completely missed the OPs intentions.


OP: I support you idea on its general principle. It would of course need some refinement.
