You'll pay The Mittani's tax and you'll like it.

We need to coin a phrase for that.

Like "kiss the ring!" or something along those lines.

"Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Best Meltdown Ever.

Some null groups have issues motivating pilots to show up for station reinforcement timers. Do you really think that they would be bothered to show up for 50 reinforcement timers in high sec poco's a day? No jump bridge networks or anything. At least for defending stations they are motivated by the idea of defending their homes. Once the novelty of griefing highsec people wears off I think that the null sec groups will mostly lose interest, however much of it they had in the first place.

So basically, this is terrible because

the cfc will keep on shooting structures ...

Ironically, it's people like the OP and threads like these that keep the interest in griefing highsec people up for almost forever..

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

So you're saying that Dinsdale is a goon plant?

You should always strive for good posting but when you see a Dinsdale thread just go hog wild.

I thought The Mitani were an ancient middle-eastern people ? I don't think they collect taxes anymore.

Onto the High Sec POCOs:

It sure would have been nice to use them as an opportunity for say 15 to 30 member corporations full of newer players a way to get involved with a sort of "neighborhood tough-guy" PVP

High Sec Poss's require local "Star Base" charter fee's each month. Can't they have a bulky equivalent of the charters that needs to be placed into a small "concord maintenance material fund" hangar each month? Don't pay and Concord takes over the POCO... if concord controls the poco any corp can relace it with their own.

-

It Should only apply to High Sec so as not to burden logistics people in SOV Space


Only a local regions inhabitants are going to want to deposit a 6,000 mp3 that costs say 2 million market value of materials needed to make it.

Innattention should have ownership go "poof" so we don't get a lot of stale structures and give a way for them to revert to local groups with the attention to grab them... and local who local bullies feel like they can take out.

You can't, unless it's just coming out of reinforcement, then you could probably do it.
Stats:
Shield: 10,000,000
Armor: 500,000
Structure: 300,000
+24 hour reinforcement timer at 25% Shields.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Or, more accurately, 2×700.

As the fine details about the upcoming expansion haven't been made public yet, only the broad view of what in entails and some tantalising pictures accompanied by statements like 'it is meant to do this and/or accomplish that, but all is subject to change', all the topic at hand is based upon is speculation and rumours.
