I am posting this on this forum as a warning to all WH dwellers, since we are the only ones who will be using these most likely. Be careful with these SMAs. They are freaking huge in size. We have recently discovered an issue where the placement of your XL SMA can mean that they can be access from outside the shield.
We discovered this when someone tried to put an XLSMA in a medium pos. And we found that, in several places, you could hug the shields and board ships from the SMA without the pos password.
In large posses, they pretty much need to be in the center, because that handle on the end can stick out too far and can result in the same issue.
I am posting a thread in the issues workarounds section as well to let CCP know, but for all other WH groups be warned. Be careful where you put your XL SMAs. |

instead of cross-posting, why not a bug report?
With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Because not all WHers are going to read that forum. I am posting this to warn the leadership of all the major groups so that they can test each SMA and lock them down if necessary to help prevent corp theft. |

Just to clarify, they still can't be accessed by anyone other than corp members? Or alliance members if you have enabled alliance access? |

Yes. For instance, you cant come to my pos in my wormhole and steal ships out of my X-LSMA because you arent in my corp. But you could warp to a corp mates and still his ships. |

As a joke I renamed my sma as domination control tower because it looks like it has a tower on the side of it. So when you see domination control tower, thats actually the SMA. SOme of the screenshots look like I am in the pos sheilds, that because I had to hug the shields to get this to work.

We were going to keep it to ourselves... then we realized that there is no way we could troll people with it because you need roles in the corp to steal from it. That would take spais which HK would never use since we are honorable space bros. |

so it if sticks out of the FF, can you shoot it? If yes, will ships drop & subsequently bump out of the FF? |

Well you are mostly wrong on two counts. One, it doesn't stick out of the shield on a large pos. The access range on it is just so big that you can access ships while outside the shield. Useful for corp thieves. And two, even if it did, you cant shoot pos mods that just barely stick out of your pos shields because the module itself is still inside the shield and therefore is still protected by it.
You MAY be able to bomb them... dunno havent tried and dont really want to with a 700m pos mod. |

With the new unintended "features" that Odyssey has introduced, I've decided to start a "Bugs and Workarounds" section on the website. Thanks for the tip, QT. http://www.TalocanUnited.com |

This is pretty dumb. I know POS code is still living up to its name (Piece of S***) but would it be unreasonable to expect CCP to apply the same mechanics to the SMA's that they did to the CHA's? You'd be able to access them (including board/store ships) from anywhere in the forcefield (wasn't this already promised before Odyssey? Still have to be 3000m from the SMA to actually swap ships) but would not be able to do so as soon as you left the forcefield.
As of right now, the CHA can be accessed as long as you are within a POS forcefield, so even if you placed a CHA at the edge of the shields someone who didn't have the password to your POS but was still in your corp would not be able to access it from the outside.
Odyssey had a lot of potential, but it was very half-assed. |
