As we all know from the EvE analogy the thriving player base plays in hi sec, so unless you are signed up to the Syndic 'lets kill the game mantra' then both you and I know that you need to provide a lot of safe PvE content to get the player base up

Those people then wander into less safe space after a while, not all the time but if you have enough of them then a noticeable amount

The only thing that is important to this game at the moment is to increase the player base and whether you and your overlords like it or want to stop it, the fact is that the Devs need to expand the PvE element of this game.

Police towers wont do that, dynamic and interesting PvE content will

As such I guffaw at your suggestion, focus on the immediate problems and not ideas that will give your slavering pvpers more easy targets and entertain just yourselves

After applying my Jelan-Filter Technology to weed out the irrelevant, I conclude that his opinion on Development Priorities is more/less correct.

My understanding is that the Idea is to create "Unsafe Zones" in Alpha but to "protect" players in Alpha with Police Towers. This game needs to promote population growth of PVEers in Alpha, not discourage it, which is exactly what the Unsafe Zones would do.

Now if the idea is to add these Towers to Beta, that's a different story as it may be an incentive to get the carebears out there. But I won't hold my breath.

Either way, it's hardly as important as developing PVE content and no where near as important as creating more islands.

You can't have robot loss be "common" in PvE until the production isn't ridiculous.  The simple question they need to ask is "How long will it take a SOLO player with ONE account to replace their loss if they fail attempting X spawn/mission?"  When the answer is multiple times longer than what they gain by doing X the balance is wrong.
