'''Player Owned Customs Office''' (aka. POCO) is an orbital infrastructure that is used to transfer products of [[Planetary ~~Interaction|planetary interaction~~]] from planet surface to space. As the name suggests these structures are owned by player corporations though there are also customs offices owned by Interbus.

In SovNull space, these services a POCO provides is instead delivered by an [[Orbital Skyhook]][[File:Customs office.jpg|right|thumb|This is a customs office.]]

== Deployment ==

Anchoring a customs office is done by deploying a Customs Office Gantry and then upgrading it with some additional PI materials: Broadcast Nodes, Recursive Computing Nodes, Self-Harmonizing Power Cores, and Wetware Mainframes. In total this takes 9,200 {{m3}} of cargo space. Only one customs office can be anchored around a planet at a time. Deploying the gantry takes 30 seconds after which it can be upgraded into a POCO. Onlining the POCO takes 15 minutes. The gantry has 10k shield capacity and it is vulnerable until it has been onlined.

== Utility ==

Customs offices are used to interact with [[Planetary Industry]] to import and export goods from planets. Without customs offices, only 500 {{m3}} of materials can be exported at a time, and no materials can be imported to the planet. The owner of the POCO can levy taxes on imports and exports to generate income.

== Management ==

Members of the owner corporation that have sufficient permissions can manage the following attributes of customs offices:

* Two hour long window during which the POCO will exit its reinforcement.

* Access limits based on standings.

* Taxes based on standings.

The CEO and Directors of the corporation are also able to transfer the ownership of the customs office. To do this they need to be physically next to the POCO they want to transfer. While at war, the customs offices can only be transferred to other corporations in the same alliance. This makes it impossible to simply move a POCO out of a war for protection.

== POCO warfare ==

Destroying player owned customs offices has two phases: Reinforcing and destroying.

Reinforcing a POCO is simple. Just go to the POCO at any time and shoot at it until its shields reach 25%. (Note: Doing so in High Security Space without being at war with the owner will result in a [[criminal]] timer and CONCORD will react and kill you). Once the shields hit 25%, the POCO enters reinforced mode and is immune to damage. The reinforced status and the time at which the structure becomes vulnerable are visible throughout the system and may attract attention in the next phase.

The reinforcement will end 24-48 hours after reinforcement, depending on the time chosen by the POCO's owner, ±1 hour.

Once the reinforcement timer ends, the POCO becomes vulnerable to damage again and can be destroyed by simply shooting it until the structure is gone. If the POCO is not attacked, it will slowly regenerate health. After approximately 1 hour and 55 minutes<ref>[https://chatgpt.com/share/68638d14-da04-800b-8280-355805fe528c Derivation of shield recharge time for POCO from 0% to 25% (ChatGPT)]))</ref>, it will reach 25% shield and return to its normal state, requiring it to be reinforced again.

~~The reinforcement~~ will ~~end 24-48 hours after after reinforcement at time chosen by the owned ±2 hours~~.

It is important to note that when the POCO is not reinforced, it can be repaired with remote repair modules. Often, defenders will use shield logistic ships to repair vulnerable POCO back to 25% shields (putting it back into normal state) and higher, to discourage hostiles from reinforcing it again.

If the ~~POCO~~ is ~~not shot at it will slowly regenerate health and at 25% shield it will return back to normal state~~ and will ~~need to be reinforced again~~.

Corporation-wide notifications are sent every time a corporation owned customs office is attacked or reinforced. The notification will indicate who the aggressor is, and when the reinforcement will end.

When a customs office is destroyed, all of the PI materials that were stored in it are also destroyed, regardless of who they belonged to.

If a planet has no customs office on it, an Interbus-owned customs office will eventually be placed on it. These customs offices do not enter reinforcement so they can be destroyed in single attack.
