Do you want to see POB Weapon Platforms removed?

[Binski]

I'm fine with their intended purpose as a sieging deterrent, but I'm not fine with players having the power to make certain areas unplayable for other players. How hard an area is to be in as an "enemy" of said area (unlawfuls near Manhattan, for example) should be up to system developers, not players.

Anyone who was around when Goldern Coin was parked right on top of a Jumphole and had something like six platforms aimed right at it knows that "trusting" players with that kind of responsibility is, unfortunately, a mistake.

No offense but that's exactly why people are afraid to use POB's to their full potential...Promoting this kills activity, and has done so for years.

All to save some players some inconvenience, make travel completely easy and make effecting the environment by players seem bad when it became one of the biggest unique potentials of this place. Area denial/space claiming and using POB's for military purposes should be ok, and even encouraged to generate activity and propel story. Just regulate it with rules and it would make the work behind defending routes and areas (freeing them) part of the fun (or defending your claim). It really kills this place to see people cry over players pulling bold moves and making other (I assume lazier or less enduring players) have easier times.

The Molly's probably aren't active because they can't do anything like that and there's no point to trying anything like that. The truth is, too much is left only to the slow process of developer only changes. Its the same all over the server.

People need to relax the grip a bit and embrace actually doing stuff and countering it in game rather than rule out trying. It would be amazing to be able to play here and not take any grief from players that don't want us trying at anything that inconveniences them.

WP problems are easily solved by setting ammo requirements! Almost anyone could take out a WP and eventually disarm a base. Then it would just be a matter of trying for supply ships. Then I suppose if you need arms shipments you can contact SnakThree inrp.

Or if you'd want a cheap alternative, I'd find it worth it to log to smuggle arms for actual use on an actual base. If you could, say, even steal the commodity here or there from NPC trade ships, that would invent a whole new activity too.
