There are 85 POBs on the server.

As of right now, there are 73 players online.

It doesn't matter if someone's in the same system as the POB or if there isn't a single person online -- that's 84 instances of POBs ranging from core 1 to core 4, each doing a whole set of stuff, each adding to the server load, each increasing lag a tiny bit.

This is wrong and harmful to the server.

Something needs to be done about this.

EDIT: Something that doesn't involve deleting a potentially cool feature like POBs altogether.

Make them easier to kill and remove the retarded OP turrets. Players are what should be doing the killing on a server based around player interactions, not NPCs or auto turrets.
