The lack of defense is an issue that has been brought up before. Targetable units used by POSs are my favorite solution.

as for whats in it y would a player not store stock of mins in the poco of his lab plannet if theres no station?


Because that's what a POS is for. Alternatively, that's what anchored containers in space are for. Anchor a Giant Secure Container in a safe spot (not at any celestial object), and you have a far better storage of stuffs than a POCO could ever give you. These are also rather safe, since they can't be scanned down.

A POS is a starbase. A customs office is not. You apparently want a base in space, which is what the POS is.

there are few diffrent blogs interviews and even a video telling us and even saying the poco will act as a "command center" or for w/e reson be the center of the fight for the planet and y would ccp project a consept as big as dust and not prep the existing world for it ahead of time ? how is that dumb? and how is proposing a idea with said projections in mind apperently dumb as well?


I'm not sure how that's an argument for them having guns. Guns are for shooting enemy ships, not fighting opponents in DUST.

No, it isn't. Customs offices have always been a place where you can pick up the **** you have launched to space via a launchpad...POCOs exist so you can do the same thing, except without worrying about pesky tax and while being able to effectively force reds off of your planets via tax.

It's just been brought up before in other threads by other players. That suggestion I mentioned is not my own (but I have tossed it out there before). CCP has not, to my knowledge, acknowledged the problem.

I think his points are pretty clear:

1. Customs offices are not intended for cheap free storage, not for basing out of. Stop using them as such, use storage containers or POSs instead.

2. It makes little sense to plan for mechanics that don't even exist in a conceptual way yet. Just like it makes no sense to stockpile dreadnaught guns "in case they will be used to shoot planets", it makes no sense to worry about DUST battles at POCOs.

3. If you don't like small gangs pecking at your POCO, get in a combat ship and make them stop. Same goes for if you don't feel safe going there solo in a hauler to pick up planetary goods. CCP made them shootable to encourage player interaction, not player-vs-turret interaction.
