I have been through quite a few systems recently where there are "dead" (offline/ inactive) Control towers. I have great use for control towers and talked with a few other people who agree that there should be a game mechanic where if a Control tower has been offline/ inactive for a certain amount of time. Anyone should just be able to come and unanchor and take it. honestly if that tower is of no use to you to the point you completely forget it is there and just let it die, let someone who could have a lot more use for it use it.. If it is one of those things like " oh we still want to use it but don't have money for the fuel at the moment or blah blah blah." then just take it down your selves and keep stored away till you have the funds for it. again this is just thought and it would be amazing if it got supported. help clean up our moons. take down dead POS's!! I do look forward to, and welcome all comments.

1) Wardec corp that owns POS

2) Blow up POS

3) Install your POS

4) Profit!

Alternatively (like most things in EVE) you can pay someone to do 1-2 for you.

All you need is a war dec and some high dps battleships.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

I have a better idea... they should "decay", and if they're offline for a certain period of time, let's say 45 or 60 days, you can access them and use them yourself, all you have to do is put fuel in, and it's yours. It automatically changes corps and so on. That would be cool, eh? Lol

No, because if you really want that moon you should have to take it. It isn't hard to wardec someone and then bring in some high dps battleships (torp ravens work great) and grind it down. Remember this tower is offline and undefended.

Why would CONCORD be defending an abandoned tower though? Why would we be paying them to let us attack an entity that doesn't have a current presence in New Eden? It's not very logical considering we can attack Interbus assets now...

You can also attack navy ships with no CONCORD intervention as well as empire hauling NPCs.

Attacking an NPC never leads to CONCORD intervention as far as I know, unless you attack an actual CONCORD ship (not the DED ones in the pirate missions).

However, that POS is not owned by an NPC. It is owned by a player. Therefore it falls in war-dec territory.

30 day decay... fuel it or lose it.

Especially the faction towers --- you'd think people would put more value on those, and take them home, but noooooooooooo....... Roll

People leave the high sec POSs there unfuelled because sometimes getting their corp standings up high enough to anchor them can be difficult. If they don't have the corp standings anymore to anchor it again, why would they unanchor it?

No, because if you really want that moon you should have to take it.

i have better idea: if your tower is ran out of fuel you should get temporal ban.

Because if you really want that moon you SHOULD HAVE take it.

You should clean out your ears because what the op was suggesting was the addition of game content.

But like so many Eve players you are probably an OCD cant deal with change kind of guy

You misspelled oracles.

Simple, make shooting an OFFLINE pos just a suspect act. just like the new pocos....

But this is wishfull thinking... because that would mean ccp has to actually look at pos code. And we all know that gives them nightmares.

Seconded.

High-sec needs mechanics to keep these resources in active circulation.

Use it, or lose it.

I agree this could be a good solution.

For there to be a solution, one first needs a problem. There is no problem. If the moon is abandoned, someone will take it off as and when they want it.
The only reason there are offline POSes is because there isn't enough demand (in that location) to make it worthwhile.

Though I guess if you all want to go suspect instead of keeping concord on your side and AFKing it in an oracle or two, go ahead. Pirate
