Hi! I had this idea, set up my own one man corp, blow up an interbus customs office and setup my own office (for 0% tax) in a forgotten low-sec system to rake in the profitsssssssssssssssssss!

Is this viable or are all planets taken by other players (can't believe this scenario tbh)??

Do you have any idea how long it will take to shoot that thing alone.
Do you have any idea that someone might watch you and kill you or your new PoCo.
Do you have actually located an Interbus Custom office in a location that also means its used (a PoCo on a planet that nobody uses is wasted money).

And please explain to me how you want to rake in the profits with 0% tax (which means you wont get any income from it).

Read the edit I posted.

And you solo, how long till you can do about 2million damage, I believe a custom office has 1 mil HP shield and armor.

That is realistic.
But the idea of shooting down a PoCo or the interbus version alone isnt.

Alone it will take a lot of hours (if you can even do more DPS then the shield recharge rate), so keep the coffee on supply and expect to play from dt till dt.

It is possible (but risky) solo if you have access to a capital.

My suggestion...get the hell out of empire and join a lowsec corp or nullsec. They usually have already set up their PoCo logistics.

Two things:

1. There are still mercs out there who do POCO removal for a fee. I know a corp who's rates are afforable for a solo player.

2. You may have to rehire somebody when your 1-man corp POCO is under attack. Alone you will not have the means to defend it.
