POCOs, need a upkeep cost to off set the hording of plaints, give its a corp is needed to Build one, the corp should have to Pay something for it like a SOV bill would be for other people. But it should not be something that hurts small scale people, if your living in a WH and have 5 or 6 POCOs the up keep should not be that much, but if your going around and throwing up 20 POCOs a day the up keep should really start to stack up.


POSs cost money to keep online

SOV costs money to keep online

why not POCOs as well.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

The upkeep cost is in the replacements needed for all those getting blown up.

Then all they would do is raise the taxes to get more money, and wh corps that provide us with great T3 ships will just raise the prices on t3's to negate the upkeep costs.


so yeah, you're arguement and points are invalid.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

If you don't like a corp hoarding POCO's, go blow them up.

Hehe, currently have ~60 POCOs in reinforce in one region, takes only a 60 man blob about 5 minutes a POCO.

POSes can defend themselves.
TCUs can be defended by POSes.


Stations don't cost anything to keep running.

Hey, I know your corp! I know it because a friend of mine stole like 12 billion ISK from you.

Heh.

PCO's already have a maintenance costs in the form of either losing ships while checking out who is shooting them, lost fleets trying to defend them and/or lost PCO's when they get popped.

funny thing is: if you get 1000 man blob together you will spend more time to warp between POCOs than shooting Lol

Anything that would not hurt a small scale operation would also not hurt a large scale operation. For reasons already stated in the thread, i.e. a large scale operation will just pass the upkeep cost on to you.

By the way, since we're already talking, do you want to buy a rifter? I've got the cheapest rifters in Metropolis. If you can find a cheaper rifter, buy it!

All of the above.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.
