I am not sure I like these changes. 30k from a mining field is moronic. It seems to be driven ideologically rather than pragmatically given the needs of the player base. Consider the low population time where there are fewer than 6-8 in-game. The likes of Goldgeist which operates as a service to all players especially those who can't tee up a mining buddy are indispensable.
Clutter around New London? Really? This sounds more like a hate-purge rather than needed. As it stands many like it, None negatively impacts the flow of ships and it adds an ambiance like the feel of a city rather than an isolated farmhouse.
Albany Police Academy... its a sanctioned Liberty establishment. It should not be the devs that dictate where or what takes place regarding POBs and their placement. It should fall solely on the legal administrators of the systems in an RP setting to decides per the House Roleplay Laws.
Leave the PoBs as is and don't be so legalistic nor mind-numbingly banal in tearing the whole fabric of the game play to date to bits.
Oh they joy in death, those who undertake to remove the corpses of ship and sailor.
