At this point its not exactly "if you so chose" but more like....""as you are forced to"....

Maybe a basic structure that can be more generalized and NON-specialized as each and every one of them is atm....if a "choice" isn't actually a "choice".....then how is it we were able to chose anything?

So do that then. No one is forcing you to hold high level assets.

Uh yeah I may have been around here for a little while.

Structure grinding is bad when it's mandatory and/or abused. This was the issue with Dominion sov, as the effort required to remove hostile structures was the same in every situation, regardless how much the space is used or what was invested in it. This in turn creates a barrier for entry into null-sec; you have to be able to inflict obscene amounts of damage which in turn means caps and supercaps.

The flipside of this is that key enemy structures should require an element of risk to take out. Dreadnoughts have always been really well balanced in this regard, with siege mode forcing them commit to an attack for a minimum period of time. This is a fantastic avenue for content, with defenders setting traps or scrambling to catch unexpected sieges. It would be a real shame to lose this aspect of EVE.

This is a very important question , because per example my corp is a small gmt corp that lives in WH space , our pos are death-stars to deal with the foes , with this change me and my corp mates will wake up and see all our stuff destroyed because :

1-No one was there at 4 eve time to man the guns.

I mean really=?

Can we finally know what are those "issues with forcefield"?

I think you should consider making some small percentage of the stuff in the station drop as loot available to anyone. That way, no one person loses that much, but everyone can have a fun reward once the station blows up. I mean, at say 5% people can't complain that much and I feel like they do deserve to lose something since the thing did blow up. 5% would still mean billions in most cases, plenty enough for looting chaos to ensue.

I think a fuel block should require some of each type. That way space that doesn't contain a certain type of ice still needs to import something in the new mechanic.

Sorry, kinda posting stream of thought on this.

If you went with my idea of racial structures instead of role structures, you could leave outposts as is under the new system completely.

For example, lets say you have a mini outpost.

Under the old system those structures got special bonuses.

Under the new system each race gets a special bonus for a specific role. So for example mini are good are building stuff so they get the normal role bonus if you chose to go manufacture, so lets say that normal role bonus is 10% and then because they are mini they get another 5%. But lets say you don't want to stay manufacture, well it just becomes a bonus you don't use or a special sub role that it gets to retain while doing something else. So lets say a mini structure with a research role gets 10% to research for its role and 5% to manufacture for race.

Then you take all the upgrades the station has and convert them to the new system, be they rigs, or "fittings". That way NOTHING needs to be reimbursed, and if they are converted to fittings, they can be used on some other XL structure if people so chose. Doing conversions seems much simpler than having everyone start from scratch.

Please elaborate on why. The new system is decidedly "un-eve" like with no real reason why. Especially after I argued so hard for all industrial ships to be moved to ORE a while ago, and you guys persisted with the racial variants there.

wasn't that because stuff could get bumped out of bubbles if cynoed in a certain way?
