I touched on some ideas for revamping industry in response to the CSM Summit Minutes in my blog some time back. The crib notes:
- Convert all activity lines to process rather than project operation. That is: you load a blueprint, press go, and the assembly line/research facility/invention lab will continue to produce the output until the inputs are exhausted.
- Have NPCs adjust the prices of their facilities based on load: more than 50% of lines in use? Increase the price by 10%
- Reduce the number of NPC lines
- Buff POS refineries
- Nerf NPC station refineries to bring them into line with POS refineries (i.e.: turn refineries into assembly lines: if there are a lot of people reprocessing stuff at a station, the queue for the local refinery grows very very long)
Between the requirement for Charters for POSes anchored in empire, and the fuel efficiency dividend of sovereignty (or FW occupation, perhaps?), you'll have decent benefits for doing your industry activity in nullsec or lowsec.

China and rare earth elements comes to mind. It may not be due to war, but they understand that they're sitting on the majority of what's available, and that gives them an economic advantage.
Or Australia legislating to ban the mining of Uranium (and then rogue states legislating Uranium mining back in). Or BP blowing up an oil rig, thus denying access to the well underneath that rig.
Of course if Natsett is so focussed on only the denial of access to mineral bearing rocks using fire as a deterrent, perhaps Natsett could show us real world examples of ore being extracted using space ships equipped with mining lasers.
Other resource denial methods have included the sowing of weed plants that will out-compete any food crops.
Nowhere in history is there any record of resource denial by pushing mining machinery out of the way. There are plentiful records of mining operations being sabotaged, or access to mining/forestry leases being cut off by protesters. Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players |

Shoot everyone in hisec forever, and participate in endless sec status grind.
OR
Shoot the handful of pilots importing stuff from hisec.
Which is easier? It is not awoxing if the alliance leadership tells you that importing from hisec is the work of a traitor Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players |
