I've decide to move into a WH and after a long search find a suitable unoccupied WH. The search was so difficult, that I'm in a rush to get my new POS up and stake my claim. There is a dead stick on every moon so I have to bash one down first. At that time the connections aren't good, so it is difficult to get both the bashing ship and the industrial carrying the new tower into the system. But eventually I manage it, kill the dead stick, drop the new tower and try to anchor it, and I get...

"A new corporation cannot anchor a structure for 7 days."

Facepalm! I do a google search and find this:

Hello people,

What is the intended purpose for this?
It's to provide a waiting time when receiving a war declaration before forming a new corporation and moving all the Starbase assets there.

I was playing the game 2.5 years ago, so I guess I should have read the Crius patch notes and remembered every single detail, including aspects of the game I wasn't involved in at the time (Setting up new Corps and anchoring POSs). But I was trying to anchor this tower in a Wormhole! What relevance has wardecs got to do with that?

Working as intended I guess, so not a bug, just lazy ars* programming.

Hint:

If (Corporation < 7 Days Old AND System Secuity Level >= 0.5) Then...

Amazing game design isn't it? Why a tower and not a Citadel? I feel like I remember reading the 7 day thing on Uniwiki so I went and grinded standings to do the Angel's Epic Arc in the meantime.

Good luck! Smile

That sucks man and grats on finding a wormhole without a citadel (that's a rare feat).

Yea, that mechanic sounds odd at best and tbh, just like you - I didn't even know!

I'm sure the reasoning was in place to prevent a way around asset loss before citadels?

I imagine that their original intent is still valid, even outside of high sec. The good news is that once your corp is 7 days old you'll never have to worry about this again!

OP: Perhaps you could ask any people you know ingame if they have a spare corp that you could take over. E.g. I have a few trade alts and three "shell" corps that I have to avoid any taxes (not market taxes) and to use corporate contracts if I need to. If you know any traders / builders they would be a good place to ask.

Gratz on finding an unoccupied Wormhole. Since you have to wait 7 days to anchor your Tower, might as well clean house and get rid of those other dead Towers in the system. Then you can anchor more Towers and basically lay claim to that system without worrying about the previous owners showing up unexpectedly and activating their own Towers.

The mechanic makes perfect sense, you are the one being lazy. Go do something else for a week (the blink of an eye in EvE time). There's loads you could be doing to prepare the wormhole for your POS. Additionally you should not anchor a POS and use a Citadel instead.
