Hi guys,

I just recently found out via petition that at the moment CCP does not consider it a bug that you cannot build command centers in 0.0 (on planet with player owned customs offices), if you are not part of the SOV holding alliance.

Although CCP still allows the owner of the customs office to choose wether or not players that are not part of the sov holding alliance can access their already existing colonies on that planet by using the "access based on standings" menu.

Furthermore you not being part of the SOV holding alliance you still can errect customs offices which in return will give you the sole benefit of eventual taxes, but not the possibility to use it to do PI since you will not be able to build command centers.

As far as any other commonly usable feature in 0.0 is concerned there is allways a way to allow befriended players to utilize them:
- Stations have standing access
- POS have passwords
- JumpBridges can afaik work with standings
- You can rat, mine, pvp, haul, build, build a POS, pretty much what you want as long as you are not forced out by the system owner.

Following that guideline i have a really hard time understanding why PI should be any different.
It should in fact be priviledge of the sov owners to be the only ones allowed to control/build the customs offices like it is with the IHUBs, but then in return use it to provide pullic services if they wish.

Appart form that i have to note that CCP did a very good job on the CRUCIBLE expansion, grats!

Please let me know what you think.

Does this apply to NPC null as well as Sov space? I can understand (maybe?) why you can't in non-NPC space, but I imagine it would work just fine in NPC null.
