I've seen this mentioned, but nothing to say what will be done about it, if anything.
Some POS are visible from stations since the grid size changes, so anyone at the station can see the POS and its arrays without actually going there. I think this puts the owners of the POS at a serious disadvantage? |

If someone owns a POS on one of these moons and it is only lightly defended, it is more obvious now than it would have been before, which puts them at a disadvantage over the owners of hidden POS.
Before the grid changes you would have actually had to scout the POS with intention, now it is visible from the station and people who normally wouldn't of seen this POS may be motivated to attack it if they see it is lightly defended. |

If the moon is with anything, then people will look at it whether or not it's on grid with a station.
It's not the ability to see a POS that means much, but whether that bit of space is worth taking.

You don't have to have it added to overview to see it, that's the problem. You can simply look up, and there it is, on grid with you. This is a very general example of how it is a problem, there's much more than that.
Basically these moons have no cover, they are exposed to anyone using these stations. You cannot say that this is not a disadvantage. |

GǪand if you don't have the filters turned on, chance are you won't see the pixels, much less decide that this grey pixel is an AC battery and that grey pixel is a neut battery. And guess what, you could do the exact same thing before as well, so no change.
If you actually wanted to know what a POS is packing, you still have to actively scout them (which is mosts sensibly done by turning the proper filters on), which is no different than how it has always been.

People are not going to attack a POS because it's weak and they spotted it near a station; they're going to attack it because they're looking for weak POSes, period. The location is entirely coincidental.
Basically, your complaint is that you can now warp near a POS and see it. Guess what? There is no GÇ£nowGÇ¥ in that GÇö it was always possible.

Look at it like this. If someone intends to stomp your POS, and has the wherewithal to do it, they're going to do it. Scouting for it, or seeing it from a station makes no difference whatever even in significant time required for execution. If you can't defend the onslaught, then you can't defend the onslaught and no "can't see it from the station" will save you there, either.
If it's some gank operation looking for undefended POSs, and your POSs is undefended, than sure, they'll see it from the station as it were, and go for the gank. Again, seeing it from the station has no significance here since they'd scout you out anyway. That's how they normally operate. Just seeing your POS isn't going to set off a light bulb that isn't already lit...so to speak.
So, if you're trying to say, "I'm too cheap to defend my POS," or, "I'm so broke I can't defend my POS," either way it wasn't a good idea for you to have a POS, so who cares if you get ganked 'cause seeing it causes the inevitable to happen sooner? Furthermore, if this is how you run your POS, you've just (by posting this rather dubious complaint) told the gankers who to put on their to-do list.
I'd say that's lose/lose/lose. I do hope it's not par for your course.

There's a POS right near the station we have our corp in ATM. I just says "Anchored" and I can just click on it to see what's there. It's in a relatively high security system (which I thought you weren't allowed to have player stations in?) So, being a player asset in HiSec, it's fairly safe from anyone that cares about their security status, however, as Lan Wang points out, if they don't care... into reinforced it goes.
Corp offices are so cheap in low traffic systems, there are so many systems to choose from in fairly tight clusters, not sure what the advantage of a POS is. Maybe you don't fight over lab/research time? I think if I was really worried about having a ton of corp assets exposed, I'd just use standard corp offices and maybe station containers.
If you're large enough, you can just wait and build a citadel.. or two... or three! |

Does appearing on the overview in high-traffic locations increase the likelihood that a particular POS will get attacked? I dunno. Maybe. If it bothers you that much ... find a new moon. But once the new structures are released, you wont even have to anchor at a moon. Either way, the solution is going to be to move off grid. |

You do know D-scan picked up POS modules before and anyone undocking and D-scanning, the like most common thing to do ever, has alraedy D-scanned your near-by POS. Anyawys in a year they'll all be gone. |

Who cares?
your pos has been exposed for months, you are just NOW commenting? which means if no one else made a move on you, then no one gives a flying **** about your pos.

So dont put lightly defended pos on planets u want to hold?

I do not have a POS currently, but was looking around and noticed that some of the moons available were ones that can be seen from stations, which is something that would put me at a disadvantage over other people in the area.
Also, in case you did not know, POS anchor on moons, not planets. I think alot of people commenting here have no idea what they are actually talking about.
I did not come here to discuss whether or not this would put someone at a disadvantage, because I actually use POS and know that this is something that will.
I came here to see if it has been mentioned and whether or not something would be done to put them on the same level playing field as the other moons and POS in the game. |

It was mention in the discussion taking about the implementation of the new larger grid.
It seemed to be seen more as a novelty than an issue, and could be advantageous as well in certain circumstances. Not everyone cares if their POS can be seen by players at stations or passing though gates.
Those who do can choose to put their POS elsewhere.
Kind of adds varied terrain to the game to be honest. |

Quote:I did not come here to discuss whether or not this would put someone at a disadvantage Yes you did. it is literally the only question raised in your OP.
As everyone has pointed out, it doesn't actually do so. Since you don't have a POS, you are probably not familiar enough with how these things work, but those of us who do and are have shared our knowledge and experience with you to explain why the problem you think exist is no more a problem now than it was before.
Quote:I came here to see if it has been mentioned and whether or not something would be done to put them on the same level playing field as the other moons and POS in the game. It has been mentioned and it turns out it doesn't affect the playing field in the slightest for all the obvious reasons: because no-one will get the idea of attacking a POS just from seeing it GÇö if they're after a given POS or corp or type of target, they will find exactly that irrespective of where the POS has been placed.
