It provides a guaranteed payout to anyone on field who can manage to scoop the thing, jump out, and successfully get the thing to the NPC station. Let’s not make assumptions here, Brisc.

Point well taken.
I mean, if they want to provide a guaranteed payout to the guys that kill the thing, they could just put a damned bounty on stations.

The tax rate in TTT is 10% (it is 1% or 5% in the smaller non-TTT structures), and the Iyen-Oursta system index is usually around 6.0 or so I think.
Because of install costs, I generally wait for a 0.10 index to install research jobs for more expensive BPOs, as it can save anywhere from hundreds of millions to several billion. You won’t find an index like that at a public facility.
Of course some ‘experts’ may tell you that indices don’t matter, and that even NPC structures are just as good (the job completion time can be extremely painful).

Does CCP want to increase the incentives to destroy a structure universally, no matter its purpose/location/age? Or are they only looking to increase the incentive to destroy “spammy”, newly placed structures that serve little purpose other than to force someone to destroy them in the first place?
If it’s the latter then there are some easy tweaks to the system to avoid the unintended consequences to every structure owner the original proposal is going to cause. If it’s the former then I just want CCP to clearly state that so I know they are making that change on purpose 
founding a small indy corporation from ground requires lot of dedication . Far more dedication and taking risk than someone who live in blue donut … Without your "hive mind " behind of you you are simply nothing there… you and your “advanced adult toy” hurts you badly before you even say "Oh but thats too big "
If your intention was intimidation … thats is reflection of your words… thats what happens if you left alone or in a very little group out of any aliance or your sugar dadys in null sec…
It is simply “disgusting” that you dare to insult others by taking strength from the group you belong but not from your heart mind and your personal capabilities …
One man with courage to stand against all odds always stronger in the heart than the one easy to be assimilated …

I take ALL my bpos to a facility from NPC with index cost the lowest in HS, and start 50 jobs at once !!
Some last literally a year (even with implants), and can save … a lot
this one https://imgur.com/Q4IHR0e is for a 3% index (was 0.5% when I installed the job)
this one is in a 2% index https://imgur.com/uttIeWs
1B just to upgrade one ME. 2.5B to upgrade from ME9 to ME10 ^^
If I go in a 0.5% system that will shave 1b8.
But yeah the job completion time is painful. Yet not as much as to log in to realize the structure owner has left unfueled and you can’t deliver and in one month the bpos will drop and there’s nothing you can do about that.
Enjoy your roundup, My aquaponics set up is just fine.
You did look up where i live and realized this is a 5 man lowsec mostly-indy corp right? No, you didn’t. If you had, you had not written this pathetic bullsheat.

You dont think our bounty system is broken enough? Next you want them to get Concord LP, or rare skins drops?
No need for look at zkillboard This is EVe…World of Alts … People mostly write on forums with their alts… esp to intimidate others…
… Your perspective tells enough . Be carefull about your language and and show some more respect to others …
Sure, until some unforeseen thing hits, like the building burns down.
Hell, my family medical history says I should’ve been dead by 40. So, y’know, really not sweating the cancer. If it happens, it happens. Every day’s a gift. Seems greedy to demand more.

Or what? You bring your blue donut to intimidate and bash a small indy corp?
The difference between me and these highsec scrubs is: i don’t give a ■■■■ dude. I’m shitty at PvP but that doesn’t make me afraid of it. I also don’t need alts, i can take consequences and that’s what separates me from 90% of these cowards. If they are intimidated by the CEO of a 5 man indy corp shittalking on the forums, ■■■■ me they better are!
Edit: still laughing at your post, doing exactly what you accused me of. Hilarious.

I think there’s a huge difference between ‘the bounty system’ as represented by the bounties players place on one another, and the automated payout system for destruction that awards bounties for all of a certain class of kills, like Blood Dark Popes.
I’m talking about using the NPC bounty system. ‘All Astrahusen pay out X, divided between the guys on the kill. Calculate these numbers once every 20 minutes’.
Well if there goal is to remove 90% of high sec structures this is the way to do it.

Pretty sure both bounty systems are kinda broken. One is used mainly for vanity numerics (P2P) the other is i dunno working as intended? Asking for a friend in Oasa.
I think the way they’re broken is important, though. The Player-driven one causes massive lag-fests because it’s being calculated on the fly. The NPC one is just paying out a metic buttload to people who are literally told to have ‘ISK-printing’ accounts.

I do war decs, i have on the last few weeks fought over plenty of structures and lost some and have had some good fun. All were defended by both sides. Just because you dont doesnt mean no one does. I dont dec for isk though.
Most meaningful war decs were killed off by changes many moons ago, i grant you.
That said the corps not trying to defend arent my issue, my issue is no matter how much they try, they just wont be able to successfully.
You say this is entitled whining but ive always maintained that everything in eve should have risk. Just screwing the little guy wont address the issue. The corps that dont defend usually because they can afford to lose them. This wont change.
I dont do indy but i looked at numbers a while back. Wasnt all that much profit to be had in hs so didnt bother.
Ive used war decs more than most and done most things in the game from ganking to mining and lives in all areas of space. Im isk sufficient and so none of this will hurt me financially, but i care about the game and community and this change is a bad one.
