EVE General Discussion

Do you mean interbus pocos destroyed once or pocos in general as people squabble over turf?

The former? 300-500.

The latter? tack on another hundred.

I'm gonna guesstimate about most of them. Just because.

All of them + 1

all of the NPC customs will be gone on the first few days... anyone can fly to them and shoot them, you don't go suspect, you don't even trigger pvp flags.

just fly an alt on a lazer ship with t1 crystals and afk.

now, POCOs will take months to be set up. most planets will go without pocos for ages. the problem is, even the "elite pvp" will not even bother after the first few months. anyone can dec from a disposable corp, wait for most of the target corp to be offline, and reinforce all the pocos in a system in an hour. after a month of having to show up to timers, most hsec corps will call it quits.

in lowsec you can't grief with such impunity since you have to watch out for neutrals too.


honestly to pay for the time and effort alone, taxes will need to be a minimum of 20% - 25%. no way the average highsec pi dude will pay that, even with current 10% taxes its nearly a zero sum game.

(NPC taxes are getting a hike to 17%... for some reason no one in sis noticed this.)

There is no such thing as an interbus poco.

Actual pocos will start being destroyed after interbus co's are destroyed to make space for them.

i think that is what is being referenced here.

POCOmon! Gotta pop them all.

clearly the major CO bashing will take place round Jita as people attempt to control the local factories that drive that place.

But more generally I expect the null sec alliances to invest in crushing the POCOs around Jita and set the tax to 100% for none alliance members. Then start advertising a high sec arm of the alliance for people to use their factories. So that in the upcoming war between high and null sec they can have a ready made fifth column ready to betray the empires.

All of them. And I expect a multitude of groups to gun for them, not just 0.0 bigshots. Not all 0.0 groups have an interest in Empire PVP mechanics, and the TZ warfare needed to own them after the initial Interbus ones are popped are a matter of persistance, not military might. Compared to other structures a POCO's EHP isn't the hurlde, the reinforcement timers are.

PVP groups will be more effective countering attacks, but indy groups have less issues replacing the damn things. And I don't see why lowsec groups wouldn't come down to highsec to grab a few, perhaps with some wardecs involved. Perhaps the ganking cummunity will start blapping them without even replacing them, leaving that to chance and oppurtunity?

I'm well aware even CCP can't fully predict how they will be distributed in a couple of months. I'm just happy that I can now affect that status quo on principle. Death to all NPC structures!

All of them.....eventually. Not in the first week.
