Hello everyone. As everyone know Falster station is above IMG shipyard and it's really giving me alot of discomfort. I know that it's same to all pirates who traver thrue trade lanes.
Today i was shot down when came out of trade lane by Falster weapons platforms. And it really pissed me off. I don't really know why that station is in that place. I know before it was near jump gate, but it was moved because it gaved alot of discomfort to others. So now it also gives discomfort.
I request this station be moved away on 10k distance to station or any trade lane. Or stay there without weapon platforms. It's only station that stands very close to base.
First of all, if you are an unlawful, you should know that using lanes is something you do at your own risk. Luckily it isn't sitting on top of the O3-O7 gate itself anymore. Or POBs such as Kings Cross.
Secondly, if you knew that the POB is there, why didn't you jump out early and flew around the hostile space? Surely it wouldn't have been so hard.
Thirdly, if it is giving you discomfort, then it is sort of doing its job. Don't get near hostile installations, they hurt. Whether it is on your lawful or unlawful.

You don't really need *just* admins to tell you that, plus they most certainly have more urgent issues to tend to.
IMG has been around for ages, has been doing RP for ages, has done *good* RP and kept the base alive and well long enough to justify it existing.
Why it is at the station: Because it is the perfect place for their POB. It's one system away from the mining field, which made it even somewhat fair for pirates to have a chance to get at Miners.
They have to fly a whole system, after all.
And if it is causing you discomfort, why not remove Aland Shipyard as well? Or any hostile base for that matter.
It just doesn't add up. Plus, the weapons platforms are not that difficult to dodge, so unless you're not paying attention you're still good to go through the tradelanes.
Just heads up next time and you're fine
I will answer your question anyway, since this is a public thread and all.
You do not get to fly everywhere safely. On any ID, unless you are a Neutral ID which is protected by the server rules.
That is the -point- of the game. Space is dangerous. If it is not a POB, it will be a lawful capship patrol, planetary missiles or other mishaps.
What did the IMG do to get that station? They built it. Just like any other POB. Nothing stops you from blockading a system with a POB within reason. You could totally build a, say, pirate POB on the lanes in Galileo and then charge players for X mil a Month so they do not need to waste time going around it.
As for why should you? Because that is the game you are playing. If you are too unresourceful to adapt to situations such as a hostile solar object, perhaps you should consider another ID or another game altogether.

But since you seem to be angry because you were blown up by guns that can only kill you if you are afk-trading, I'll be nice and reposition the guns when I feel like playing this game again.
