something that baffles me is that if stations can't be destroyed why are there so many null sec systems without one?

I mean with some of these alliances loosing 500 bil in one fleet battle you'd think that in 10 years at least one alliance would shell out the isk needed.

It kinda sucks when you try and mine in a system where the nearest station is 2 jumps away and the intel channel has nobody answering about those 2 systems status for 15 mins+ after you fill up your exhumer. Or rats appear in the belt nad you need to go 2 jumps to get a rat killing ship and same no reply.

If you got 60+ Billion ISK laying around, no one is stopping you from constructing one :)

A vast majority of nullsec is uninhabited. Why put a station up no one will use?

Bolded the part you missed.

What commerce happens in a station with no traffic?

There's usually a main station where a locale in Nullsec go to shop that has a reasonably well stocked market. The other extant nearby stations generally don't have any sort of market volume.

Right now they are less usefull than a titan. Just drop a POS, its cheaper and there are still some bad moons out there that you can mine to help fund the tower.

So far i can only see a use for stations in home systems from certain alliances. The thing is why put a station into a system when nobody wants to live there? And if you want to stay there with just a very small amount of people a POS is much cheaper to get. Another thing is stations can be conquered and judging how old this game is i doubt it that you find a station that nobody claimed yet.

The last goon who wanted to personally fund an outpost was told to buy something (marginally) more useful, like a titan.

Oh wait, no, the last guy dropped an egg in J5A and got it popped by N3ST (cripes)

Well the obvious answer is that everyone who lives in 0.0 just isn't as intelligent and insightful as you.

Even if there were stations in said systems, unless they belonged to you or a friendly corp, you wouldn't be able to use it so you're right back at square one...

It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

That'd work if the corp had a buyback program setup but corp I was in didn't.

I've since moved to another corp in the alliance thats more setup and has a buyback program and lets members have their own POS. Theres also a station one jump away from this ones home instead of 2.
