Shoot it.

While a lot of people will say that there is already a solution for what you see as a "problem" the other side of the coin is that CCP do like conflict drivers.

However, this whole thing has been discussed at length before and there is a problem with the hacking idea.

If you could hack an offline tower the game mechanics would have to decide what to do with a tower after a successful hack. The obvious choice is to unanchor it so it could be scooped. Then you would probably see lots of afk inties orbiting towers, tower market gets saturated, people end up just reprocessing towers and that would have an effect on minerals as well as towers.

Assuming that CCP decided this was a problem, or a potential conflict driver, I would prefer one of the other proposed solutions. Which is to degrade the shields over a period of time, say 1% per day, for example, which would drop the shields to zero after 100 days and make POS bashing a bit less time consuming or more open to the general public.

+1 actually. Yes we can shoot it. This is more interesting and faster.

You must be new to EVE.

The POS code is so old and so fragile, that CCP has decided not to fix it, and has planned to replace them with citadels.

There is no point making suggestions about POS, as they will eventually be deleted.

Your idea is not a new nor original suggestion. It just isn't going to happen.

Personally I think the idea of entosing the POS in first place to gain access to computer, then hack it to unanchor.
Of course, I´m talking about those Pos´s who are just anchored for more then 30 days without being online.

Pos´s should be like the containers in space, if you dont open them in a giving time, they blow up, pos´s should be the same but instead of being removed by time, they should be removed by players.

That way players who have left their pos´s everywhere are going to be more carefull not leaving their assets in space for so long.

In hs there are tons of dead pos´s just beacause people are not use them due the not appealing industry indexes and the prices they have to pay for use their own structures (its just not fair and accpetable for players paying for the structures and then pay for research or build whatever they want, on npc stations thats fine, but not on pos´s), however leaving their pos´s in space should have consequences.

I know in hs we can always wardec them just for blowing the pos, however i think retrieving those pos´s is the best way, that makes people get involved and profit at the same time.
For that, CCP could create a timer that every player can see when he reach near the pos, when that timer is out, pos can be entosed and then hacked, if the hack fails the pos must be entosed again.
