would easing anchoring restrictions and increasing indy slots reduce fears of war dec?

If the standings required to anchor a pos in hi sec were reduced or eliminated, and ccp increased the number of all industrial slots available in hi sec, would you all not worry about war decs as much?

For myself, this would issue the issues I face from an incoming war Dec. I could drop my pos, continue my indy empire at a slower pace, and focus on actually fighting the war Dec. Once over, I could put the pos back up and get back to normal. Heck, even if no change to anchoring a pos, I could just death star it and have fun defending it, but my core business function could continue.

And yes, I know some slots are available in hi sec. I manufacture at a station. Copying, invention, and research though must grind to a halt.

So would my suggestion improve things for people or be viewed as just a bad idea?

Probably it would eliminate the fear of being wardecked. but whats fun about that?


wardeckers generally arnt after your pos unless you dont have any denfense up they will shoot it for ***** and giggles probably.

Umhh, I doubt standings have anything to do with wardecs. It takes maybe a week to get enough standings for .7 systems, if you really want to go that far. Space is only at a premium if you are close to Hubs, and even then, there's plenty of placeholder POS's to take down.

Much more fun to shoot for the tears, really.

The number of wars would probally increase due to the fact that as proposed i can war dec u, destroy your tower and then set up mine without having to worry about standing restrictions, eventually high sec moons would be in effect "rented" to the highest bidder so that you could have a high sec pos.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

As the guy presenting it said, there's no real silver bullet to the wardecs issue.

And as a result they will err on the side of PVP as opposed to non-PVP. ;)

I support that stance. That eve is a nasty game is one of its' greatest assets. The new system AT LEAST allows for some interesting shenanigans (more so than previously).

The system they choose was in good in theory, but it too easy to exploit (buying corp with high enough standing to place in high sec) and should be changed. Making it easier to setup a POS would just ruin the market. With the limits on slots their is only so many alts a person can have researching. Making it easy for a player corp to setup 10 POS's in a system would really hurt industry as a whole. Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE this, but I can also see the negatives outweighing the goods.


In my opinion they should remove 1/2 of the existing slots in NPC stations and re-add these as only available to people of some level of standing, where the standing to use the station is specific to that station (not corp, faction, etc). This would cut down on the number of indy alts that are only trained to fill up high sec station slots. It would make more slots available to people willing to grind through standings.

Also an idea I was kicking around last night with some people was the ability to "Rent" station slots for a period of time (1 month) that are only available to people who have a high enough standing (with the station) as well as housing their corp home base, or maybe just a corp hangar. This would give new players / corps the ability to get their feet wet with manufacturing, yet limit all the slot spamming alts from taking them all over.

I'd just like to be able to run a POS with particular slots open to public use for a fee.

Labs, factory, etc..
