remember to not trust in null sec nonsense propaganda ms @Xeux low sec chads \> scary wormhole people \> null sec do a fleet every day \> hs survivors \> null sec crabs thats a fact of life we are SO MUCH BETHER in pvp we usually win 2v1 … 3 or 4 of us can face a null sec 11 man fleet and end isk positive i used to be the second best in 24th crusade , now im the 3 or 4 best , and this is the NPC corp, there is a LOOOOT of amarr corps and i cant check how they are doing ,… prob im just a nice regular soldier and thats all real pvp is our spécialité ---

This. The idea that null sec blocs are going to be able to grab low sec space on their border (beyond the immediate fringe) is a pipedream. Null sec blocs will have to station a large portion of their veteran pilots to hold the fringe of these systems for low sec mining. EDIT: Update on the POS compression array test. I have to anchor a tower first, so I need a few more hours. I really hope this works because POS’es don’t’ appear on the structure browser or directly on the overview. ---

Once you begin to anchor the array, a bunch of arrows will surround it, right click any one of those arrows (again) and click the “anchor here” option. ---

Tried that. Firstly it said, online tower first. Did that. Then it said, tower is too far from ship. Got up close, and then still couldn’t get “anchor” command to operate. Arrows had also gone by that time. Couldn’t get them back. Possibly just me, but I still fell at the last hurdle, either way. ---

I went through the last three years of patch notes. There are is only one mention of Starbases and a one mention of the Compression Array. In 2017, they removed the bonuses from Starbase Arrays, but it does not say they were disabled and no longer could be anchored. In 2019 they said: " \* Compression Array Blueprints become Mobile Tractor Unit Blueprints" It does not however say that compression arrays have been disabled and cano longer be anchored. Since Compression Arrays can no longer be produced, while still be functional for compression (I assume), this would make them the most valuable structures in EvE. As such, I just bought a few more. > **[Patch notes for August 2017 release | EVE Online](https://www.eveonline.com/article/patch-notes-for-august-2017-release)** > > Patch notes for August 2017 release 1.5 Released on Wednesday, August 30th, 2017 Features and Changes User Interface: Exposed the Agency info panel progress bar while in tutorials.

Or you know ask your local low sec pvp war lord for access to compression at their structure or ask cost for blue standing. Low sec rent is cheap. ---

Well i tested this with an amarr small , onlined the tower, shields went up launched a compression array . Took a few seconds to anchor and a few seconds to put online, chucked in some ore and selected compress… and i got some compressed ore \o/. A couple more seconds to offline and unanchor/scoop and back to station , totally painless to do and POS still have a lot of use. the reprocessing array was tested and also still works fine. ---

yep I tested on solo corp alt an hour ago. I bought 16 compression arrays and 16 gallenete towers in Jita. Very left now. I believe these will shoot up in value slightly above a Raitaru. ---

No, it’s merely a way to escape the new cartel nature of the Noxicum changes. It’s also the only way. I’m not going live under the boot of Null Sec Blocs and their lowsec pirate puppets for access to basic mineral required to build everything in the game. We’re not even talking about advanced ships like T3D’s and crap, but simple ships like a RIFTER! ---

Which is great… until CCP uses this “exploit” as a reason to just finally turn off POSes and leave anyone not wanting to pay 1.4 bill for a Raitaru with no actual means of operating services themselves. Now Im wondering how many low meta dropped modules it would take to build a Rifter, and what item would be the most efficient to farm… Oh jesy chreesy Ive just started thinking about farming… eewwewewewewewew ---

If CCP deems it an “exploit” because the little guys can grab some noxcium, it would immediately imply that CCP itself acting on the behalf of giant power blocs (and thus imply that CCP devs are playing the game and abusing their power to alter the game to their own ends). No little guy is going to setup a Raitaru post January with a 100% Quantum Core drop. The low sec pirates (or null blocs) will siege it with 10 Dreks simply to deny the compression and maintain their monopoly, while getting a free core to boot.
