If CODE owns highsec...

...then why do they allow the plethora of POCOs, player-owned structures, and whatever else to exist in their space? Do all of these things exist with CODE's blessing? Does CODE enforce a tribute payment system (a tax) in order to place and operate structures in their space?

I'm actually not [necessarily] bashing CODE here. I'm not a miner, and I've never lost anything to CODE to my knowledge. I'm simply saying, you don't truly 'own' highsec... unless and until you actually, well, 'own' it. So if structures and whatever else exist in highsec without your blessing, I would say to CODE - 'get to work.' Start enforcing your will. Back up your claims of highsec ownership. Then my hat will be off to you. Otherwise... not so much.

I have no idea whether this question has been posted on the forums or not before. But I personally haven't seen it. It's a question that popped into my head is all.

Have you read the actual code? I do not see why POCOs would be in violation of the code, and if they are not in violation of the code, why would CODE. not allow them? CODE. are a very lawful bunch.

Attacking player-owned structures requires a wardec. Which costs money. CODE is cheap.

Yeah, but giving River Phoenix another day in the sun? Worth it. Running on Empty was great. My own Private Idaho, for all the dissent, at the time, was great. Working with Harrison Ford on Mosquito Coast was pretty good, too.

I liked how that movie ended, the peacemaker, dying for nothing. You always remember them. Aleka's Attic was not too terrible a band, either. His brother, Joaquin, is not so wonderful. He's not a Vegan, not religious, does not even try to do the right thing. The father's ranch in Costa Rica? River bought it. He died at Johnny Depp's Viper Club on Halloween about 20 years ago.

Probably from a spiked drink. But whatever, of course that got, let's say, 'clouded,' at investigation.

For the same reason that some wormholes have POCOs from other corps in them. They simply don't care.

I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

Seems strange that an owner of space would not charge for using that space. How many null sec corps or alliances allow people to squat in their space? You either control a space, or you don't, right?

CODE doesn't control high-sec. They're not even renters. They're glorified tourists roaming around selling 'maps to the stars'.

Trouble maker huh? You looking to get on that red pen list, friend?

The rest of these tears are just lulzy.


Every alt I own has a red safety, this has brought my friends much laughter.

I would imagine that the only time CODE. are interested in structures is when they are being transported illegally.

As bizarre as it sounds there are people who actually buy into all that Code malarky. But once you figure out the right ships with the right fit then Code killing is about like killing belt rats, just needs a touch more finesse.

About once a week, someone in CODE will decide the attention-o-meter is getting on the empty side, and they'll make a thread talking about CODE, and about a billion dumbasses will run up in it, all tripping all over themselves to talk about how uninterested in CODE they are.

I wish CODE would stop, but that probably won't happen until CCP declares CODE threads like AFK Cloaker threads. More than enough examples of how this entire thread will play out are available to be searched on the forms. At some point, it is okay to stop having the same conversation over and over and over again.

Out of the pure goodness of their hearts maybe? Get over your own greed man! The ones who can enforce laws in an area rule over that area, but they doen't need to charge for it. As the rulers, they can freely decide whether they want to charge for using their space or not.

Goons are well known for their charitable 'endeavours'. Take the latest Burn Jita 4 Kids. Think of the children next time you undock your freighter, and remember to give generously.

CODE is not materialistic. The reason that miners have such a hard time understanding them is because they can only think in terms of maximum isk efficiency, whereas CODE does not outwardly think in terms of how much isk they can make.

Also, to more directly answer the question: because running a PI farm is far more interactive than mining, so is probably allowed by the CODE. autopiloting your PI back to Jita however...

Blood. Blood makes the green grass grow. :) In the military, we preferred that it be our enemies, but ours works, too. Unicorn blood is only sufficient to clone Morgan Freeman. Or is it tears?
