Let's face it PI blows! Give us one screen option that would allow you to start all your extractors over rather than going to each planet and starting them individually. An option to do this at the login screen so you can do it on all 3 characters would be ideal! Also if you own sov in a system, let there be some sort of module or upgrade you can add to the customs office where if you own a station in that system the PI automatically routes to the station rather than the customs office. You could still charge a station fee of isk or skim some of the PI just like refining.

I would like to see the same sort of mechanic from moon harvesting arrays so you have some sort of POS module or system that allows system holders with a player owned station to transport their goo the harvested directly to their station.

People in null sec that own Sov and build stations should be rewarded for going thru all that work to accomplish it.

I won't even get started on their not being and defenses for a 25 billion isk station but their are in Hi and Low sec...........

You don't 'own' sov, you claim, or hold sov.

Claiming Sov isn't hard work. It is actually very little work after you take the space, given you have enough monkies in your tribe to blob stuff that comes around, and have the supers to scare off challenges. Sov holders don't need any more crutches to make it to their comfy throne.

Eve is about risk and reward. This is why ~NOTHING~ in the game moves without having some type of risk associated with it. It is also why there are (now) some special items that don't require moving, such as skills and PLEX.

The station fees / skim as you put it goes to the player corp that owns the station, it isn't an isk/product sink.

Null sec stations all have defenses, the crowded masses of space monkeys huddled inside, spinning their drakes.

The only thing you said that I agree with.

PI needs some love badly, your ideas are not good though.

this has got to be a troll post right? nobody is stupid enough and entitled enough to ask for PI products to just be auto deposited into their station right?

Why not just ask the game to transport the materials to jita for you, and sell them for you? No im sorry, that is an idiotic idea.

i dnt think PI blows, but it could use some stream lining. But NOT putting things in station or doing PI without even selecting a char. At the very most i may accept auto putting things in a custom office if you have the money to pay tax and/or making launch bays hold more (15k m3?).

What PI should look like.

If it was technically possible it would be pretty cool to actually build "planetary colonies" on these planets instead of just circles with holograms and timers that are also circles. These are not just lifeless planets that we are building on. If you read the chronicle Xenocracy you see that entire civilisations can be involved.

CCP are already developing first-person gameplay for planet-side fighting and dogfighting, why not a miniature RTS too? Shocked

Every few days someone makes a thread about PI and it is forgotten in a week or just few days... Roll

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!
