Player Owned Customs offices in Hi-Sec

So I've heard that players can now own custom offices in high sec from a previous update. I'd love to know if these changes have had a positive impact with conflicts over resources (if any) or was the main purpose just another passive income for player's/corp tax?

Are there any stats out to show how many Custom Offices have changed hands since the update?

As a new player the high sec custom offices annoy me: They are a PERMANENT asset which gives veteran players and corps an advantage which can not be competed.
The high sec custom offices are the definition of carebear and anti new gamer experience.

I may be mistaken, but as far as I was aware they could also be destroyed.
Pretty sure of it, actually.

I tried with an ibis: concord will intervene.

So, how many thousands of frigates you will have to suicide for one downed CO? ;)

Wardec the CO corp? Just throwing some stuff out there.

"Themepark" "Sandbox", these do not mean what you think they mean, EvE is as on rails as a freight train, and has as many attractions as Disneyland, but soundbites are easy, thinking is not.

POCOs have too many HP to be taken down with a few Ibisses. You will need about 600 DPS to accomplish that. And even then it will take hours.

To prevent CONCORD intervention you will have to declare war on the owners of the POCO. CONCORD does not intervene in wars.

And there we have it.
You have to mean it to make em go away. Really really mean it.
They were made to generate points of conflict as much as anything else. Valuable assets in space give a tangible meaning to war in high sec.
If you really really do mean it then drop the ISK to pay off CONCORD and then fire up your redneck battletrucks and have a lil party.

Ok, wardeccing is an argument. Then the high sec COs are fine. However, wardecs can be bypassed, right?

Not very easily with assets anchored in space.
I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure the 'roll corp and remake' schtick doesn't work so well when you've got spendy floaters out there.

All Customs Offices kills : https://zkillboard.com/group/1025/

Quite a few of them in highsec, so yes they drive quite a bit of conflict.

POCOs can't be transfered while wardecced, so you really have to defend them if attacked.

After a quick perusal of the killboard I do believe I see a preponderance of entries for a well known high sec war deccing corp. Not so much grass roots violence as the acts of well organised highly skilled bands.

It is probably a nice little earner for groups like POH but and a chance for some of the the more aggressive corps that POH has wardecced to annoy the station gamers without playing station games. I will have to go and check if they have transferred these assets to a holding corp.

No they're not... they're actually not that hard to destroy.

How about you learn how the game mechnaics work first before ranting about something you obviously have no clue about?

Good luck. Most of them are controlled by major alliances.

As soon as you are 3 jumps out of a hub, plenty of POCO still owned by corps with little if any pvp chops.

correct me if am wrong, but i think if you wardec them , then is fair game. I think that the concept of war. Of course you have to pay for it , but thats the risk/reward.
