I love so many of these ideas. I think much of it can be distilled down to: "I want a place to call home"
Right now, the barrier to having a POS or capital ship is pretty high and not realistic for many individual players to have on their own.
I know this is an MMO and there's a social aspect, but I think most of us really just want something that's ours that's a home instead of a ship.
Someone mentioned a winnebago and I think that's the best comparison so far. Most RVers tow a car behind their winnie.
Drive across the country, park somewhere, do stuff in the car, then hop back in the RV and go somewhere else.
Love: single clone clone vat 1 or 2 research / manufacturing slots refining capability (and no tax, right!?) Space for a few ships. Ability to anchor 'structure' and use one of the ships.
Let us leave the stations, CCP! |

Yes, I'm hoping that CCP will take that into account when re-working the POS:
Being able to scale it from single person to alliance level.
From my point of view, homeworld offers some good ideas. I mentioned that already a few times
An Orca is already pretty close to the space RV. The problem is that you can't park it in a similar way like POS.
Back to the scaling: It would be great if the slots would be unified: - research slots - manufacturing slots, or better manufacturing space, and of course a super-capital would need more slots/space to build than a frigate
In addition to components required for production with e.g. 5% damage (similar to R.A.M-...). This way you could scale your research production the way you want it.
In addition, more slots should yield a better performance in terms of cpu/powergrid requirement, e.g. if you have 10 slots in on POS should need less than 10times the requirement of 1 slot, since they would be able to share stuff. |

Interesting!
I would be missing a way to somehow anchor you ship, including a module to make it unprobeable. In addition, you should be able to access the ship and (both corp and non corp) hangar bay and maybe even get access to the fitted high slots, to repair a ship if an armor repper is fitted in the highs, similar to POS guns.
Why unprobeable? This way you can anchor you ship, board a ship from the hangar, do something PVE, when bad persons appear you could warp to the anchored ship switch into a pvp ship and have fun.
Think about a fleet of anchorable orcas moving around with a scout ahead, switching to the ship required to perform the job and coming back to the anchored ship to get a new one afterwards.
And while the anchored ship is unprobeable, each regular ship around is probable :D |

I like the concept of a nomadic playstyle, but I'm not necessarily sold on any of the ideas presented here. Reason being there are a lot of tools that already exist to support the concept.
- Carriers can move ships around.
- Rorquals can haul POSes to set up temporary refining/manufacturing if desired.
- Jump freighters can move supplies around.
If there is a tweak that could make the lifestyle a more viable choice, then I would prefer that over adding a "Jesus feature" like a whole new ship. |

How would the following sound?
Anchor (or something similar) * only fittable to carriers, super-carrier, titans (maybe not), Rorquals and Orcas * occupies one high slot * basically the ship becomes a kind of POS * you could access the hangars * you could access the fitted slots, like POS guns * but Anchor-module also tricks probes, i.e. you won't be able to scan the anchored ship, but each other ship close-by. * separate access and unachor rights with flavours personal, corporation, alliance, standing
Additionally, it would be good to get rid of the industrial restriction on Rorqual, so that miners could bring some PVP ships with them. |

There is no reason to have an unprobeable ship. It's NOT going to happen and is a bad idea. There needs to be balance, and automatic unprobeability for a POS-like item is NOT BALANCED.
If it's like a POS, then it should absolutely be probeable and it should be easy to probe down.
If you want a portable POS then work within the guidelines of how POSes are balanced. There needs to be a time it takes to anchor/unanchor. It needs to use FUEL. It has shields/weapons/EWAR to protect itself when unattended.

First, the ship would be unprobable only when in anchored mode. Why? Because it won't have a POS shield and all that stuff. It's just anchored so it needs a bit of defense. Once you're scanned while sitting beside it in you capsule or other ship, it won't have defences at all. Besides those following the call to defend it. While it is not in POS-mode it is probable, it's a regular ship then.
So, what would that ship provide? A simple way to move somewhere and start out of the box. For bigger groups, it would still be better to setup a real POS (atm still with POS shield).
You somehow have to ensure that not anybody passing by could just enter your ship and take it away. Think about going somewhere with a RV and a car on a trailer. You park the RV and lock, afterwards you take the car to have a look around.
Balancing ... - module could require fuel (orca like small tower, carriers/rorqual like med tower and titans/super-carriers like large towers) - or it would only be able to unprobable for an hour or two with a cooldown of (insert time here) hours
Most important, it should fit into the new POS system CCP is working somewhere deep within Island. (Hint at CCP ... yes, sharing your ideas might be a good idea ) |

Personally a mobile pos is to..er over powerd. I think it should act like a pos is some way but with limitations. Manufacture ships no larger then a cruiser sized hull. Limited manufacturing, copying, research extra. Less refining then a station.
and not alot of fire power so it will have to rely on it's nomadic family for protection. |

A dev saying hello in this thread would be an accolade.
I do hope that CCP did take notice but probably this thread is too small to get noticed. |

The fundamental basis here is that to play extensively in space that you don't control you need one of two options:
1. A ship that is capable of truly extended independent operations. 2. A mobile base that you can fly away from for hours at a time with a *reasonable expectation* that it will still be there when you get back.
I think that option 1 is a non-starter, though a case could be made that a carrier constitutes such a ship. Good luck with that, eh?
Something that can be scanned down in 60 seconds and walked off with by any reasonably skilled pilot (like an orca abandoned at a "safe" point) clearly fails to satisfy option 2.
This leaves something that can be anchored at an arbitrary point in space and has at least minimal defense and utility capabilities. Defensive capabilities can actually be allowed to be considerable (only while anchored), but utility should be little more than a garage with at most some very slow refining and a single ammunition manufacturing line. i.e. just enough to keep a single player in drones and ammunition while they wander about nullsec. |

Well put.
Do you think it makes more sense to have this as a ship that can be anchored? or more as a POS like structure that you need an industrial for? |

Right!
Let's hope that CCP will come up with a system that let's you go all the way from 1 to 2. |

Have been reading that: X-COM: Enemy Unknow JJ ABRAMS STYLE
I remembered playing and liking the original game, so I had a look at it and found this: The Base
A base within EVE (be it a POS or a POS-ship or whatever) could have some of those features as well. E.g. building labs close together provides additional slots, or faster research |

Think about that:
- Move your into a new system.
- Anchor
- Board Covert Ops/Stragic Cruiser for scanning
- Board ship to run the sites waiting for you
- Board and unanchor
- repeat
features:
- able to use stargates
- able to jump to (regular) cynos (not the covert one)
- ship maintenance bay (equals a ship maintenance array when anchored)
- corp hangar
- some defenses (e.g. shield or being unprobable when anchored)
- anchor could be removed by pilot (anchor for self) or permitted corp members (anchor for corp)
- research slots
- manufacturing slots
- clone vat bay (clone in AND out, would be a very welcome feature for Rorquals, too)
- add more interesting fea
Of course the ship should be scalable from 1-person to giant alliance duty, i.e. the more features you want the bigger the ship is getting, e.g. at a point it might be too big to pass through stargates. Think of it as depending on the current captial (and super-capital) hulls |

Quote:First, a minor change in game play: Let anchoring be available for any kind of ship. maybe with increasing anchoring time depending on hull size, e.g frigate & destroyer - 1 minute, cruiser & BC - 2 minutes, BS - 3 minutes, (non-super) captials - 4 minutes, super capitals 5 minutes And of course the same time for unanchoring. This time is required to turn the main engine off / on.
Before initiating the anchor process you have to eject.
Once the ship is anchored you can access the hangars and use modules similar to POS. E.g. if you anchored a ship with a remote armor repair system, you could use that to repair another ship (not the one mounting that module). In other aspects it behaves similar to an anchored container (anchored for corp or personal usage)
So, in case of carriers/Rorqual/Orca you would have a little base of operation but it would be pretty vulnerable.
Because of that we need the Stealth Module Only works with anchored ships and renders them improbable. Otherwise similar to cloak, i.e. you may not run any other module beside.
While an anchored ship with a running stealth module is improbable, every probable thing around still is probable. The ship itself will be probable again while unanchoring or after the stealth module is turned off, e.g. to run a repair system module. |
