I was asked to help with a pob the other day, had to tell them to go get fu**ed!

A bit extreme, but 1 load of BA is 115.000 cr if you get the best price. Plus 70.000 for water if you get best price. Plus MOX/HFuel, Fertilizer, etc. In a normal POB with regular buyers you can still make a profit of 10mio cr per month.

That's great n all but then you're just a pob slave with no time to do much else.

Clearly players are still willing to keep their PoB just about alive while it contributes nothing to the game and it slowly bleeds them of credits at current prices. Sounds like a money sink to me, something we're otherwise very short on.

First of all: no. Second: if that is my wish how to play this game and to contribute to the server, then it is my choice. I have every right to make QoL suggestions.

Ok, i'll rephrase that then: That's great n all but then you're just someone else's pob slave with no time to do much else.

Simply increase the maintenance costs. I'm eager to see the first water monopol(y) corporation. Finally a reason for cargo piracy besides a monetary value and as result this implicite creates the need of a police force (yay, more activity need)
