I know this should be in ideas and discussion - hell, I have even commented on the number of stupid ideas posted here in GD, well here is my own regarding Destructible Stations:

After a station has been run through the reinforce cycles and structure has been completed the individual who has scored the most damage through all 3 cycles could be given cycle options:
Option A: Destroy all (another cycle to grind through maybee?)
Option B: Transfer ownership (as now)
Option C: Hanger cycles

Options A and B are pretty self explanatory. Option C: Individuals hangers are dropped in "cans" with a small/moderate amount of hit points, lets say 50000, once they are cycled through some of the "loot" randomly drops and the rest is destroyed.

I have not been flamed for a while - so hit me hard.

If CCP ever implemented a change to outposts where my stuff contained inside could be destroyed or lost, I would leave null sec and never return. It's a horrible game mechanic that should NEVER see the light of day.

I'm all for this idea. I mean, look at 0.0 currently. A new station is deployed each week. Back in 2008 you could roam through Vale of the Silent and you'd only come accross a couple of stations, now there is a station in half of the systems in that region. Soon they're going to be completely filled with stations and there will be no further use for station construction.

Once a station is deployed, it is a permanent fixture. What if the new residents want a different station in that system? What if they want a Minmatar Refinery but there is a useless Caldari Research outpost? It cannot be changed. Unless they become destructable!

Unless of course, the rules were altered to allow 1 Outpost per X planets....

someone suggested that the station could leave a permanent wreck where you could loot your own stuff.

Perhaps the best Idea int this thread. If empire can have a station at every moon why not null.

I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen.

Tears.



Okay but seriously, am I the only one who thinks that blowing up a station, and having all the **** inside lost (or at least some loot dropped as per current mechanics) is a great idea and wish it would be done? (I know it never will be because too many people would whine about 'ZOMG THIS GAME IS TOO REALISTIC STUFF CAN BE BLOWN UP IM NOT SAFE' etc etc.

I dunno, maybe it's too realistic for most, and they're scared of actually losing their ****. Personally I think it would be awesome an add a touch more realism to EVE, which is something we've always liked. Who would prefer EVE without scams and non-consensual pvp?

I dont think that station destruction should ever be given into players hands, i havent given it much thought but implementing this idea will badly harm the whole balance of null sec and the game itself, not to mention that it would be virtually impossible to buy anything in there and the prices will skyrocket (in nullsec that is), overcrowded high sec, huge chunk of players will move into low sec and NPC space and conquerable null sec will be more or less deserted. Imagine a strong alliance with a nutjob leader who will have an agenda to "purify" 0.0, you cant rule this kind of things out, ever, and so to conclude, leaving this for players to deside would be rather wrong and fatal.

cool idea, maybe you need strategic upgrades to allow for more outposts... but yeh maybe an option to recycle outposts at least?
there its the corp/alliance's decision, and anyone who owns stuff there is liable to the rulership of the owner anyways...

Why would strategic upgrades dictate how many industrial outposts I could plop down in a system? I think it would be better if it was just 1 outpost per 4 planets or whatever number CCP decided worked best.
