EVE General Discussion

Not sure some will like to see high sec POCO tax raised to 50% or +

The tears from toothless industrial corps would be massive.

Why yes, yes they would

Not sure once again dude, Null sec planets literally vomit PI no one buys over there or very little because everyone can do whatever amount it needs, so the exceeding production is already sold in high sec for a much higher profit even when you factorise transport fees.

Again, this is only a massive boost to null sec/Wh PI producers and will change absolutely nothing for the high sec industrial alt corporation from whatever big alliance. Small industrials will still buy those materials at same cost than now (after a few weeks).
The only ones that are going to really make huge profits from this are those station sitting clicky market bots masturbating themselves for 0.1isk wars

No.

Empire is empire. Its ruled by empires. Who use concord as proxy.

The MOST I would be willing to see is turn the CO into factional, rather than concord, and then subject them to standings issues like with stations.

But people forget in all their nullbear vs carebear BS that this game has two worlds with a frontier between them: one in which money is what matters (which funds fleets needed to get sov), the other in which sov is what matters (which is funded by highsec activity). Lowsec is the PVP of null without the sov issues, but with FW.

So its a distinct game. Only people who play all three truly appreciate why this is awesome, like having three games in one.

Starting to create sov in highsec is a step in the sleepery slope into turning empire into null with mechanic set pvp rules. Which is flattening the game and making it essentially the same everywhere.

POCOs in Highsec no. Overhaul the idiotic taxation system in place? Perhaps.

If you want a POCO go put it were you have to defend it, rather than trying to use it as an isk printer.

Yeah, I have been seeing for a long time this tendency of people wanting features from highsec in nullsec and viceversa, without giving any thought to the domino effect it would have in gameplay and fun.

Null is null for a reason, highsec is highsec for a reason.

Stop whining about it people!


NOW... WH space still hasn't matured as much as it should, it still has a beta feel.

However, while I liked your comment, I do not think Moon mining would be so nefarious, after all most t3 fleets are in null, and they require massive amounts of WH stuff to be made, and we dont see what you describe. And yes, I am saying that t3 stuff is at the same tier as moon goo.

Not in highsec. Sorry if that was not made clear. Lowsec is a transitional area, with hybrid elements, including FW sov.

Lowsec is as “transitional” as highsec is — i.e. not at all. It's just an area with its own set of rules and peculiarities. It's also empire space, so the argument that it doesn't make sense to have POCOs in highec because it's “empire” means there should be none in lowsec either.

So… in highsec, in other words? There's nothing that says you don't have to defend it there, and it won't magically become an ISK printer there any more than it is anywhere else (in fact, highsec POCOs would only make PI less ISK-printing than it already is).

PI is not an ISK printer. It is actually a very useful ISK sink. At least in HS.

I like this, they could add a max. tax of 20% or something to avoid total newbie PI breakdown, like a Concord law.

Then I'd happily have this anyday
