Topic: Beta Structures
The idea is that if a corporation has an outpost on a beta island with a rating over 50 they can build structures, with the mechanics already set in place on gamma, which provide various bonuses. Buildings like a passive epriton mine that can be emptied by the corporation that set it or destroyed and looted by anyone. If the auras are removed from outposts then slightly stronger aura structures could be made. The benefits the corp receives would give corporations incentives to take and hold beta stations for reasons other than just looting the saps. If these structures sent out alarms when attacked it would promote more action between saps. It isn't uncommon for me to wander the beta islands for hours and not see anyone at all and I think this idea would help make them a little less empty.
I'm sure this idea has been thrown around before but I think its worth repeating, since the pvp islands seem to be a lot emptier then they used to be.
