Poll - POBs and Mining Areas

[Starsunder]

A PoB close to a mining field for storage purposes and a fall back point makes sense. A PoB within a mining field or near a NPC base or near a jump hole/gate tends to end up being a nuisance most of the time. Granted, inRP rules and consequences generally means these bases do not last long, but to remove such a base takes time and resources. It would be much easier if it could be made a rule and an admin do an instant removal. That said, I do not support an outright ban, but rather an application process be made so that exceptions can still be allowed (and base sieging taken care of in the usual manner).

In an ideal world, setting up a POB would require most if not all of the following:

A staff screening process
A large upfront credit payment
Distance-requirements from dockable solars/mining fields,
And a change to the siege rules to not require declarations for core-1 bases

The thing of it is: most of these bases are made by newbies just learning the POB system with absolutely 0 community contact or regard for how their bases effect the gameplay/roleplay environment - hell, one of the first ones I sieged was owned by a guy supposedly from china who tried to tell me to go to conn if I wanted to PVP him. Why are the besiegers being forced under the current rules to put in 10x more effort into destroying these nonsensical bases than the people that built them put into the construction?

Agreed.
