My thoughts were people could just shoot random abandoned structures as they go past.
i live in null so I rarely go into hisec. I just thought it would be a cool addition. If no one is looking after the structure then let them fall to anyone who shoots them.
Green dot: No fun allowed, only grinding. No one will randomly get to shoot you and not explode.
Yello dot: Fun mode. You can do all sorts of things which mean people can shoot you, and then you can shoot them. You won’t randomly explode via concord party.
Red dot: Super fun mode. Let’s you invite concord to a party.
It’s not trivial but it’s also not so high that most can’t afford to WD…Heck buying/selling(flipping) a few BS will make a player that in a day or two and that requires almost no skill.
It is a good incentive for highsec loners to join together, that is for sure. The bad guys already have structure-bashing corps. The white knights can do the same. Owning a structure and paying 100 mil is a significant barrier to entry that is a lot more affordable by groups.
Very true…the WD itself isn’t that bad IMO but you are right that the additional costs of a station and its gear PLUS the ships to defend it (optional) is more of a barrier…good point.
What problem? Are the structures preventing you from doing something? It’s super easy to define something you find distasteful as “a problem” but it’s also super lazy and doesn’t actually make it a real thing.
You can do something about it if it bothers you. Just making it a free for all isn’t fixing anything. How many structures are even going into abandoned right now? Will they even be there in two weeks? Would this change fix the “spam” or are most structures actually fuelled? People that want to sit in their PvE ravens for half an hour at a raitaru already can. They just have other things they want to do with their time.
Those that want in on the abandoned state piñatas have already gotten themselves into a position to participate.
This isn’t going to solve any problems. If you wanna change the structure landscape there are Corps you can join or you can start one.
