I'm a lazy, trembling carebear. PI is more attractive in low and 0-sec space.
My proposal should bring it together.

In order to launch a control center you have to be in the planets orbit. So anybody has to be there once at least.
You cannot delegate this job unless PI would be installable for corps later. Then a corpmate should launch it. But this might be another topic.

I'd like to see following:
- The possibility to launch containers from control center in the corps name. All corpmates can pick them up and carry the contents away.
- The possibility to lauch to customs station in the name of the corp. Corp mates can pickup contents there.
- The possibility to contract courier transport from and to customs offices.

The cost of courier contracts to and from lowsec systems will lower the profit enough. But I'm really sure, there are a lot of PI-guys who would like to see that too.
Pirates will not loose easy victims, because anybody will fligh there.

Maybe you'll need additional trade or contracting skills for. It would be ok for me too.
Makro management should be applicable from up to 20 hops. So you may bring it in line with remote trading and production skills. You will further not be able to establish "remote controlled PI" in wormholes or far 0-sec regions of course.

I like this idea and see no downside. Supported!

One of the perks of being a carebear is that you get to deny the PvPers the ability to catch and kill you.

Why would you want to throw that away?

Are you a forum alt? Have you ever wondered why your experience on the forums is always so frustrating and unrewarding? This may help.

Well, I only throw away the possibility to kill me. Anybody would still be available to be killed in substitution of mine... Blink
The proposal is no wish to get out the goods using remotely controlled ships. That would be stupid and trolling pirates.

If pirates see any risk in loosing victims, this proposal shows no way to make that happen. Cool
