Didn't bother reading the thread, but the only thing I personally want to see changed that is relevant to this is the removal of standings requirements for HiSec POSes (and, oh, every other activity that isn't "doing missions for an NPC").

Player activities shouldn't locked behind a grindwall.

The funtionality of a POCO is quite different from a POS I agree. To overstate the differences is disingenuous though.. It is a structure erected (in this case) for a corporation in high security space for (primarily) the generation of corporation assets.

Until now, this has gone hand in hand with the requirement for standings and taxes. I am all for a system that does away with this for a high sec POCO, but I have seen no reason why high security POS should still require greater effort.

Would be interesting to hear anyone argue why their is a need for disparate treatment, I woulld welcome such a well thought and reasoned arguement.

Up til now it seems like the only view is " they are different cause..."Question

POCO as they are stand to be the most passive income in the game.

Remember datacore nerf?

What is the justification for a high sec structure that requires no maintenance at all and no standings to erect yet can generate unlimited passive income? Please do not tell me the fact it must be defended is all.



Player owned customs offices have been around for years. How come people only just noticed them? The high sec ones are only partially player owned though as the npc's still collect their taxes.
Think of it as public /private partnership or outsourcing or whatever it is called in your country when the state gives the profits to private corps and leaves the risks with tax payers to add to the long list of scams capitalism perpetrates on us all.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85
