If the average poco is in your posession for 2 years before someone else takes control and it takes a year before the poco turns profitable then it's fine.<br /><br />If it takes 4 months for a poco to turn profitable but every 3 months an invasion force tries to take it, it's probably not worth fighting over.Raziel Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545370350482232205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-12543961263713472072014-06-25T14:24:43.582-04:002014-06-25T14:24:43.582-04:00i do 1%...my alliance does 0% but i prefer some so...i do 1%...my alliance does 0% but i prefer some sort of paper trail just out of curiosityMinorFreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935448943839231164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-54885853828345614722014-06-25T14:22:25.635-04:002014-06-25T14:22:25.635-04:00mobile depots can be used as adverts, yes? any RF ...mobile depots can be used as adverts, yes? any RF timer is just highlighting<br />MinorFreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935448943839231164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-18249180645171704502014-06-25T13:48:31.917-04:002014-06-25T13:48:31.917-04:00Plasma planets are rare enough and tend to have ow...Plasma planets are rare enough and tend to have ownership already. The Plasma planet I have was given to me because said person was tired of having to fight over it.

I myself find barren to be perfect for low end, low maintenance POCO gameplay.<br /><br />Did you avoid plasma planets for a reason? Any speculation on the value of such based merely on the difficulty on acquiring one? Crucible was almost 3 years ago, and Rubicon just over 6 months ago...someone's got to have an idea how lucrative they are relatively to each other. hmmm<br /><br />On a side note i freaking HATE ice planet maintenance...aaaaahhh my eyes!MinorFreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935448943839231164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-60082876308113187662014-06-25T12:30:56.111-04:002014-06-25T12:30:56.111-04:00It'd be nice if there was a way to check POCO ...It'd be nice if there was a way to check POCO ownership and tax rates without having to fly to the system in question. POCO rates aren't easily searchable which means if you are a PI producer, it takes a great deal of time to search for the best rates. This probably contributes to folks just doing PI at the most convenient POCOs rather than searching for the best rate.

I extrapolate from that to think that they can work. Not that I remember any of them, mind, but that is because none of them are relevant to me. I am not looking to be part of a highsec missioning corp. <br /><br />"Some time"... hmm, don't know. Six months, a year? It should be long enough for word of mouth to spread. I also feel like it should be about as long as people change locations in the game. When you move, you'll make more effort to optimize what you're doing since you have no sunk costs.Von Keigaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469707993470718130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-67634108151046644672014-06-25T09:53:21.107-04:002014-06-25T09:53:21.107-04:00Rawr so many numbers...Rawr so many numbers...Sugar Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437978687639772023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-14474953040865585502014-06-25T09:52:23.885-04:002014-06-25T09:52:23.885-04:00What is some time one may wonder?

Presumably there many people who don't really care where they do their PI; cost is what matters to them. You could get these people as customers if they knew about you. But the problem is there is little ability to advertise that. <br /><br />Have you considered anchoring cans near gates to advertise your rates? Too much work for a lark?Von Keigaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469707993470718130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-91941598824906186732014-06-25T05:51:16.125-04:002014-06-25T05:51:16.125-04:00Can you see how many pilots make use of your plane...Can you see how many pilots make use of your planets, how many planets each pilot is using and how often each week they visit their poco's? Trying to see what sort of setup others use and what cycle times.<br /><br />Made a table of value per transaction and it seems that barren planets are the most valuable because most players use them for as factory planets instead of pure extraction.<br /><br />I think a 5% tax rate is reasonable but even then a poco takes a while to pay for itself.<br /><br />And now I also start wondering how your mostly lowsec poco empire compares to high or null sec poco income. Perhaps Mynnna could shed some light on this?Raziel Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545370350482232205noreply@blogger.com
