I was pondering the idea of making the POS's invadeable by force. You could choose to arm your POS with turrets that would fire on anyone not on your invite list. But, the turrets would be temporarily destroyable. If all turrets are destroyed, the POS is open for invasion docking. If an enemy docks, they might be able to take a portion of whatever is in your storage, or tamper with equipment and disable on of your addon pods.
Thoughts?

I could see this REALLY pissing off some PoS (peice of you know what, I hate POS and don't want to see them return) owners.

If this was something they added, I know what I would be doing all the time, attacking and disabling the stupid POS that litter the space lanes.

Actually I kind of like the idea....assuming ND does indeed put these stupid things back in the game

I don't like the POS in Jumpgate either. But keep in mind we may not see them in Jumpgate Evolution for some time without farm cash.

[netburnr]

Ohhh, I'll bet my left arm people figure out a way to make easy money.

[Jump]

I sure hope not. I don't want to go through all that again.

But back on topic. Maybe they will bring some of that Auto Assault destructive environment tech over to Jumpgate Evolution for POS and such.

[Hornet]

ooo yeah, destructive environment would be a very nice touch. It could increase the need for miners or whatever to collect minerals and other commodities to repair the damage.

I'd rather see independent stations that could be taken over, rather than personal property that could be damaged/taken away. Remember some of the fights over LL, EE, etc? I'd also like to see a lot more of them (i.e. one every couple of sectors, no more than two empty sectors between sectors with stations).

[Hornet]

Yeah regular station conquest would prolly be a better idea. But I dont think we need any more stations than we had in Jumpgate Classic. Maybe add some rearm/refuel depos.

[GrimGriz]

Those were terrible. How the heck hard was it to line up in a refuel depot thingie when you were out of gas? I'm hope for squad based stations with minimum membership requirements to be considered as a squad (not that it will matter much with multiple characters per account). A lot harsher placement options too (no closer than 50k from the space lanes?), but not invadeable...though I do really like the idea of destroyable turrets giving a squad fighting on their home turf a home-court advantage.

[netburnr]

Why not invadeable? If someone takes the time to destroy your station defenses, they should get something out of it. That of coarse assumes that the stations will have a defense system this time around.

As far is that is concerned, do ya'll think turrents only, or perhaps use some of the new fangled AI, and have it launch some defense ships? Of coarse these ships will cost the PoS owner moneyz...

OMG look at you double posting to pad your contest statistics!! You should SOOO be disqualified for that

I think both would be cool, but I'm guessing the drones would be too easy to pick off...unless maybe you could pay for different levels of drones, that could be interesting. And of course all of that depends how good the drone AI would be too.
Another idea for turrets would be player-controlled turrets...but then that leads into the capital ship idea. Mmmmm, capital ships.
