I can entirely re-arrange a colony from halfway across the galaxy, but cannot move material between the planet and the customs office unless I am in the same system.

My suggestion is to allow the movement of material between planet and customs office at range, just like other colony control functions.

It would be cool if an additional building would exist that allowed the transport of goods at a fixed rate "like expedited transfer" to the customs office from anywhere.

I understand what you are saying, but that would eliminate some risk, especially for Low and Null PI pickups.

You 'own' your facilities on the planet itself, but you do not own the POCO (unless you do), thus one must be in system and undocked to access them.

how can you people be so dumb some times? He isn't trying to move items from his cargohold to the poco or vice versa, he is trying to move them from the poco to the planet or vice versa. there is already 0 risk involved in that as he can easily chill at a pos or safespot to do such a thing. learn to read and think for yourselves, seriously.

I think what he means is that you cant setup remote communications with the POCO because you don't own it and as such you cant export stuff. (well you used to not own it an the mechanic were setup before you could)

This is all really just a lore thing but in the end of the day that mechanic is there because PI is already to easy. If you have PI in multiple systems you are force to move around every few days to export stuff and that create content and forces you to interact with people around you.

With these changes you would practically never need to move from station or POS (well with P2 production you could go for more than 70 days based on 1.5m3 per P2 and 360 production per day)

Actually, it's CCP being kind for a change, for your own protection.

POCO's are now all destructible......all of them absolutely after November 19.

Why would one want to move product from the planet to the POCO, in preparation for, say, pickup the next day. Imagine how angry you would be to find that POCO in Reinforcement mode, or just simply not there at all !

If your product is still on the planet, it's safe. If it's sitting in the POCO, it can most indeed be destroyed.

Why on Earth would one want to risk that, especially if the pickup product is P4 ?


ed: Thus having to move the product while in a ship....in that system....when one is absolutely there on a pickup operation.

If you do PI in wormhole and some of your alt is in HS doing trading this would be awesome. Allowing other character to pickup from poco would be also wery convenient. But i wouldnt expect it anytime soon. Pocos got rarely attacked unles someone really really wants to replace them.
