Those scetches look very good. And implementing it would open few more oppurunities to make POS management a bit more comfortable. You would no longer need to run around between modules poking around and making sure all guns have their ammo and so on, as that might be available in new command overview. In addition there might be some more opportinities.
For example we all have heard that there is ideas to let our avatars walk around in stations -- if you rearrance POS modules so, that they at least seem linked then it should be reasonably easy to implement same ability to 'new looking POS' also. Add there few gadgets like 'command room' where your admirals can look at nice 3d system overview with all things their fleet sensors can detect and you have even more expanded depth and experience of playing EVE. All in all idea in the same ballbark as walking in stations. Not adding new funtionality on it's own nor forcing players to change their playstyles but opening some new options for those who feel like it.
Very very good idea in my opinion.

I belive POS'es are in principle quite ok so no need to break things that are already working. Ok - there are some bugs and undocumented features, but then again thats life and I'm sure dev's are working hard to get those thigs fixsed.
But as there is slight overhaul planned anyway in upcoming kali 2 (I do not imagine that do I, I really belive I saw something about that in one of the dev blogs) then why not switch to 'modular design' similar to one presented here. With 'walking in stations' coming why not thow a bone to those living in deep 0.0 and wanting their own 'corporation meeting room'. Afterall in initial implementation it might be just graphical overhaul. Perhaps with fixsed 'modular desing' models it would even be possible to reduce a bit lag as it might be interpreted as single object instead of myriad of arrays and guns currently common in POS'es.

With upcoming possible uses for POS'es using starbase tacktical officer skill and general graphix overhaul then why not revisit POS'es also. This idea here seems still one of the best I have seen around.
It sure could help to reduce lag if POS models would be cosidered as single entity instead of curret situation of say umm ... 125 cruise missile launchers in space.

Quess it's too late to hope POS graph overhaul for kali 2. Who knows - perhaps in kali 3.

I still believe, that with possible new mechaniks on horizon for sov. (to reduce blobbing) it might be reasonable to do overhaul for POS'es in general in similar manner presented here. It IS afterall good idea.

In this design I think I'm mostly exited about possibility of ambulation in POS'es. Afterall there has been planned those 'corporation meeting rooms' in ambulation with nice 3D map and stuff.

I hope that when CCP gets around to sov overhaul they will find the time to do also complete POS overhaul. It would ofc turn some tables but overall I believe that this idea would do more good than harm. Especially when combined with ambulation project.

I'm quite confident, that soon ... soon ... there will be POS overhaul. To be something they intended to be instead of current ... iteration. |

Wonder if we might see it happening already in winter expansion, as as far as I understand CCP has separate team for ambulation (right?) and thus it does not count towards the 'regular' patch ?
Next 'regular' patch was supposed to be for the industry afterall.

It is understandable ofcource that this is something that would take considerable resources to pull off. In my opinion it would be worth it however. Still is the best idea out there for POS'es. Well yeah, mostly gfx stuff but still ...

It has been a while since I last made noises in here - guess it's that time of year again
I want modular POS so I could dock up in there and get my ambulation experience inside my own POS! Oh and while you are at it could you pretty please rework the sov. also - current implementation kinda sucks. |

I have to agree, that CCP answer is highly unstatisfactory. Considering how hard the current system sucks I outright can not expect less from them that total rewrite of the POS system. That is not a reason to NOT do it!

I think this one deserves another kick from me also. Has been a while.

I am not holding my breath as several pos tweak patches have passed over the years without implementing this rather good idea. However there is again patch coming that will do something about 0.0 sov - so perhaps this time ....
... one can hope afterall.

I hope you can sell the idea to others once Incarna starts to arrive. It would be rather nice if you could walk around in there and it would be kinda like new content.

Was there this industrial expansion promised somewhere ? You know ... the one where they were supposed to fix the pos labs to work again properly cropss corporation ? I must be getting old ... I think it has been like three years ago by now ?
Anyway - back on topic - I would rather like this stuff to be implemented. POS'es have been just floating piles of debris now for sooooo long. Please make them pretty ?
