My Corps Structures are Trapped By Inactive players!

[Archer_en_Tilavine]

In my opinion, CCP should implement a “grandfathered asset safety for existing abandoned structures” where all existing POSes that are currently low powered, then go to abandoned, then go destroyed do end up getting asset safety, but future POSes, and those existing POSes that become abandoned but then get repowered and subsequently abandoned and destroyed do not get asset safety.

To be honest, I’m not entirely crazy about the “zero asset safety” because it penalizes players who cannot log into the game but whose corp leadership fails to maintain POSes (for whatever reason), creating a situation where they become hesitant to use POSes to begin with. Perhaps a better solution would be to implement a modified form of asset safety in which we eliminate the “5 day manual” asset release option and instead have it become a “20 day manual” (ie. non-automatic) asset release for abandoned POSes that are destroyed. This makes assets inaccessible for an extended period of time, but not entirely lost.
