So their have been whispers of modular poses for quite awhile and speak of everyone having a pos. This sounded cool because then you would be building a customizable station instead of a goofy stick with a bubble around it.
So what if these modular towers weren't limited to one tower. What if when I max out one tower's powergrid and cpu I can attach another tower to it, and another, and another, and another.
Basically build a city eventually in null security space, the advantages would be obvious, more HP, more guns etc. But it would also make it easier when doing industry since all jobs and minerals are in one place. Not to mention would increase immersion. Also roles could be setup so that any player can stick on their own personal area, a personal hangar, a apartment, your corps refining facility all part of one alliance POS.
Basically thinking a 1000km long hunk of metal, figure we would see in VFK a large super factory called the "Goonforge".
Of course at the same time if someone chooses to attack this station and couldn't hope of blowing it up they could concentrate on the different areas and incapacitate a couple of factories and cancel jobs etc. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=174097 Separate all 4 empires in eve with lowsec. |

Also, how long before the entry systems to goon space get huge space bee like POS's on the gates declaring occupancy...
Scratch that, just got an image in my head of a fleet of thoraxes coming in to dock at a station shaped like a huge vagina... Mind bleech, all my isk for mind bleech!
Pretty much this. The distinction between POS and outpost is confusing anyway. A station should be able to be custom designed to someones needs and be expanded upon like the ISS. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=174097 Separate all 4 empires in eve with lowsec. |

How hard would it be so that people can dock at a pos? I mean their is no real reason not to be able to, or at the very least when you dock you go in with the pod and leave the ship at the door. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=174097 Separate all 4 empires in eve with lowsec. |

Hopefully if CCP ever makes outposts capable of being extremely upgradeable they also allow visible modular components you can stack on the outside since that would in fact look badass.
Also a carrier with a cloak is kinda sorta a mini pos right? https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=174097 Separate all 4 empires in eve with lowsec. |

Basically, go to you tube and look at the CCP Games link.
One of the fanfest videos from last year mentions this and even shows some concept art.
The way they kinda explained them was like looking at a motherboard on your PC..
Yea they did but would you be able to tape your motherboards together? https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=174097 Separate all 4 empires in eve with lowsec. |

Alright I had a thought, every mod you have increases the size of the pos right? Well if every new addition is made from 1 central cpu and powergrid generator then that area would have a limited number of guns you could add to that. When you add another part it would be some distance away and the range of the medium guns that section has would not properly overlap meaning your still only fighting some of the 700 guns. In which case it would be possible for a 1000km long pos to have blind spots where it has no guns on it. Each section added could be the size of a outpost and if you wanted to have two outpost nodes sitting next to each other to have more guns in one spot then that would waste say 25% of the possible mods you could attach to that stack.
So it could be possible to have a 700 gun death ball with all weapons having overlapping range, but the titan cookers and refineries may be out of range of that. Where if you spread out your guns your still just fighting the normal number of pos guns. If someone could give me some gun ranges that would be sweet since I am unsure of how it works. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=174097 Separate all 4 empires in eve with lowsec. |

Also these structures could be capturable or certain sizes of them require a highly upgraded system meaning if you loose the space the tower goes offline increasing incentive to spread out your industry more and have other poses still scattered around. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=174097 Separate all 4 empires in eve with lowsec. |
