Space Tree - From the jovian words "Grath" + "Rampage".

The Space Tree is a common animal in eve. We can see it in the wild protected by deadly structures that will neutralize, web, scram, and smoke your ship inside its kill range. The space tree's diet consists of nutrients that come in the form of blocks.

However what happens when this kind animal is forgotten? When it's owner abandons it in the depths of space to snort coke off some hooker's ******* in Jita (only to find out later it was a man)?

It loses it's strength. Once the mighty structures designed to protect it simply cease to function and others get destroyed by the merciless inhabitants of New Eden.

Days.........weeks.........months pass. Many others see her at the distance but no one comes close. Tearfully hears horrible things from them: "nothing worth taking", "dam useless garbage" and so on.

And it stays there frozen in time......waiting for its rightful owner to come back realizing the lost love the Space Tree had to offer........but in the end she knows.......the beautiful Space Tree....only the Judgement Day can free her..........

TL/DR: This post is regarding the absurd amounts of towers/modules abandoned all around New Eden: High/Low/Null/WH.

My idea would be the possibility of stealing them and/or their modules without having to shoot them. As you know when a tower ceases to be fueled the shields shut down and you can shoot everything. However in that situation players shoot the squishy and leave the heavy hp guns/neuts/webs etc. In order to steal them you need to destroy the tower first.

But how about this:

After a period of time (tower ceases to function) you can actually steal all the other modules without having to shoot it?

Or you can also steal the tower after shooting only half the hit points she has?

Each 24 hours (after a period of time) there is a decay factor on the tower affecting its natural resists and consequent ehp so....you get the drift.

In the end it would be a nice business opportunity creating, in my view, another source of income for new and old players.

Another bonus would be, me thinks, less load on the server since it would be thousands of less structures to support.


O7 Space tree.

Agree with that. Control towers abandoned long enough should be long ago made scoopable by anyone, at least in spaces beyond HS. And I was enjoying greatly this lyrical prelude

That is pretty good. Like rogue drones took over or something. Could be cool.
