It's an ever increasing problem in WH space. Abandoned towers with everything of value stripped and everything else left sitting there.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

because for outside parties inactive towers still take allot of ammo and time to destroy and offer no reward in return.

Thus WH space is slowly filling up with "POS garbage".

THERE NEEDS TO BE INSENTIVE FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE THE TIME TO GET RID OF THIS STUFF!

I would suggest that the mechanic for POSes be changed so that after say a week of a POS being inactive that ANYONE can unanchor the tower and the attached modules. This would allow them make isk by selling off these "salavaged parts" thus providing incentive to clean up WH space.

I was under the impression being able to anchor at that moon is your incentive and therefore be able to make isk in the wh

Basically, if you move into a hole full of leftovers, blow them up for the free killmails.

Six months in the hole... it changes a man.

Well if those were really incentives...people would do that and WH space wouldn't like a trash heap.

WH space is suppossed to feel like the great beyond. Not the great bin there done that, here is my garbage pile btw.

We have a dead POS in our hole. Too much traffic from higher level ones recently to stage an attack on it though.

This, basically.

My suggestion would be to start a corp with that gimmick: Refuse Disposal Unit. Make it with an emphasis on Amarr pilots, Oracles or battleships, T1 ammo.. about as cheap as it comes for POS shots. You could be for hire, or a roaming gang, looking through WHs for cheap killmails, well-paying POS shots, or hell, even ransom active POSes and yarr it up a bit. Get 20-25 dudes/alts together for this, and shooting the stuff wouldn't take THAT long, and ammo costs are moot with Amarr T1 crystals. Just a suggestion, though.

Offline tower = risk free and no reward. Its not capable of shooting, risk free for you. Its not producing reward, so no need to complain about it. So, you have 2 options: Shoot it or ignore it.

Don't see a need for players to steal other players stuff, if you can't be half assed to even shoot it I don't see a need for you to "steal" it just because you get a chubby from internet space bucks and go limp from the the thought of shooting it because it is so boring! to you.

No Risk?

What part of sitting out in the open (at an easy to find location) in WH space for half an hour shooting tons of ammo off = no risk?

Your safer killing sleepers!

Just bringing the ships you would need in to salvage a POSwould be a risk.


Clearly you have no idea of what you speak of.
