hi. it’s a little weird seeing players “reserve” sites with a single ship (like a dramiel or osprey i’ve seen)
it could be bot accounts or not, but i think the timer on the sites should be capped at something like 10 or 15 minutes to disincentivize this behavior.

What’s the issue exactly?
I’m not familiar with these sites.
What is it that happens when players put a ship in these mining sites?
Basically once a player or fleet enters a homefront site, any one else who tries to enter will go suspect.
Some of these “bot” accounts who spam homefront sites will have a “runner” character to grab sites so no one else can safely enter it. I could probably bait and kill them but I’m just pointing out weird behavior. Adjust the site mechanics could make this less prevalent. That’s all I was thinking.
So what happens if I have my safety turned green? Will I be prevented from warping into the site? Will I go suspect regardless of my safety setting? You shouldn’t be able to go suspect without some kind of an advance knowledge/warning.
Yea. The game warns you about it. The suspect part I’m not concerned about. It’s the “holding your spot” behavior.
Can’t you do the same yourself? Reserve a bunch of sites for yourself once you get on and know you’re gonna be running them?
Sure that is possible. But that requires an additional player to do that.
I believe for most of the other homefront sites, you can’t really reserve a spot like that because you will fail the site. So, I’m also pointing out the design inconsistency with this.
