been looking for a vacant moon near jita to erect a POS, but even 3 systems out in all direction all moons taken. This is not my gripe. My gripe is that 80% are just anchored and therefore not being used. Would it be good idea if a POS has just been anchored and not used within 6 months in high sec, it will be automatically removed and POS placed in corp hanger in that system.

Just feel it hinders new players in the game wantt to do invention, manu, refining in there own POS

I had a pos inactive for over a year 3 jumps from jita. took it down last month. theres now an offline small pos. if ccp ever made offline poses go unanchored after 2 weeks, would solve the problem I believe

Just wardec the corp with the offline POS and shoot it? Why should CCP play the game for you?

When I want a POS removed, I remove it myself.

That's your problem right there.

As others have said there's nothing to stop you taking an offline POS down, hire some mercs or spend 50M on a wardec and bring some friends with guns, either will do the job.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Calling troll post whining about dec dodging.

If not, OP doesn't understand about war decs and its possible to remove it....themselves. OP probably doesn't understsand that Jita bing a hive of scum and villainy.....3 jumps isn't safe, as another person will come along and blow up the POS. Better off like 6 jumps from Jita in an out of the way area.

Also all for CCP giving a battleships class XL guns for POS bashing very much like a dread without the siege bonuses (maybe short range guns only, tracking bonus since a BS would kill its own ability it hit targets moving at a non AB/MWD speed, similar titan role bonus that cannot hit smaller targets, only defense is small drone bay), just no damage bonus or rate of fire per ship level...it would do more damage than a normal battle ship fitting alone, replacing 2 or 3 people in battleships. Kind of like an assault battlecruiser, even capable of taking down caps now sitting at gates in a BS hull instead of piloting capital ship (aka most pilots don't want to train cap ships, fear encounter caps, but won't consider the effort train for them since their cruisers are so much more cheaper...they just won't put in the effort and expect a rifter to be able to hit thermal vents the size of indigenous rodents to desert planets..than the pilots die to a force projecting greater than they expect and come running to the forums to whine about it, demanding another nerf...cause they won't fly caps to counter caps Twisted. Idea works on POS bashing as well, just doesn't do it as fast as a dread can)

There is a very simple solution:

Wardec the corp and kill the offline tower.


The problem you show is only a problem for carebears that dont even look at a gun.

I have a refining POS that I only online to refine.

Just because a POS is offline, doesn't mean it is abandoned.

EDIT: I'll add that the day it was erected, I was bored and just for laughs d-scanned my local system and found a free moon. This is very "new" state of affairs since Crius. So I d-scanned the system where I wanted the POS, and it also had a free moon, perhaps more as I didn't have to d-scan the whole system. It takes 10 minutes or less to d-scan a system for a free moon. I don't think you are looking hard enough, because post-Crius there are a lot more free moons.

I don't think you looked very hard, there were plenty of free moons in Ikuchi, next door to Jita when I looked a couple of weeks ago.

But I do agree that there are too many dead sticks around and it would be nice if they had a bit less EHP so they could be removed easier.

Wardec the corp that has an abandoned tower. Kill the tower. Rinse, repeat.

Send me a list of corpnames and locations, please.

I need a reason to skill for lasers and I never shot a POS before.
Lasers. Why? No reloading needed, no wasted ammo.

Also you have to understand that you are not entitled to a POS. Newbie friendlyness ended long before that. Remember that you could use said (non)-argument for literally everything and anything (and people stupidly do so) so in general it's better to think thrice before bringing it up.




Thanks.

PVE only player plz go. You either shoot the POS to replace it with your own or you don't. I bet you you'll even whine about large faction towers in C1 space because it's so hard to kill solo or with your small band of merry friends.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!
