There are 85 POBs on the server.

[djoser1970]

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.

EDIT2: As of 3pm pacific time on January 19th, there are now 85 POBs up.

I agree with you I dock and when I go back on-line POP! there is a private base at the front door. I received a message from the admins they are looking into this deeply and they understand the concerns people are posting I think they created a Frankenstein without knowing it. The best thing to do honestly is continue to post to admin. A signature form would work well to let them know it's a serious matter. I stand by ya stay strong.
