Anyone living in a wormhole knows the nightmare that is the POS interface. You're probably also familiar with how long most of the current complaints have been on CCP's "To do soon(tm)" list. There've been many discussions and blogs on the subject, but as far as I'm aware the only wormhole specific one was Two Step's vision for modular POSs (highly suggest you read that if you haven't already)

So my question to you, as a wormhole resident, is what do YOU want to see changed with regards to POS?

I largely embrace Two Step's vision as he describes it, but with one caveat: from the exterior, "Docked" and online players and their current ship must be visible. If you wish to be hidden from prying eyes, cloak up. Allowing an infinite ammount of active an online players to effectively hide in a dockable station will only provide more incentive for blobbing. The present mechanics regarding scouting to see what your neighbours have active aren't broken and do not need fixing.

Thoughts?

Docking in a POS would completely change the w-space game, probably not for the better. Without local, putting eyes on ships is the primary means if getting intel. This would create a MASSIVE advantage for defenders being able to hide their numbers without leaving the POS shield.

On the other hand, the lack of pos shield around the dockable structure would mean that if anyone would want to undock for any reason, they would make themselves vulnerable, which makes sieges that much more interesting. Very few people are stupid enough to float outside of pos shields as delicious targets for bombers, but with no shields and only docking as an option for safety I would expect the number of bombable targets to increase.

I would judge the total effect of such a change to be positive. If a POS is both dockable AND has shields, then it's just stupid.

That is absolutely ridiculous and i would quit the game if they changed W-space like that.

I would certainly agree on the security issues of w-space being addressed.

I DO NOT agree with having any clone facility in w-space. When I pod someone I want to know they are out of the fight for a good few minutes if not hours. I also do not want pilots to be able to swap clones so they can protect their precious implants. When you move to wormhole space you should have to make a choice about which implants are important to you - NOT have a choice between a war clone for fighting and a +5 implant clone for when you log off.

Rant over.

How? I have always assumed that a dockable lego house POS that has everything in one modular structure would obviously mean lack of shields, and would see it as an improvement.

I'm pretty simple with my POS needs. I don't care either way about "docking" There are a few things I would love.

1. easier/better security mangement.

2. Better security for SMA's. Just give them the corp hangar tabs like every other POS module and I'd be happy

3. Access to FULL ship fitting capabilities. It's stupid that I can't take advantage of a modular T3's flexibility where you want it most (WH's or no station 0.0). Heck, I can't even haul in a packaged T3 and assemble it at a POS. So someone could manufacture T3's inside a WH but couldnt actually put one together without hauling it out, and then flying it back in. Yea that makes sense.

4. along with that, the full ability to repackage etc.

What this guy said.

I-¦m ok with this but only when it get destoryed, everything in it, include ships/items and pilots get destoryed/poded

Would be also ok if you only could dock with a pod on it so u cant have ships or items hiden in it but still if pilots are docked when it-¦s get destoryed = poded


if not **** it

Ownership of wrecks belongs to empire. Null sec and Wspace doesn`t need them at all.

This. it's a pain to clean up after a gank when you can't tractor someone else's wrecks...this is lawless space,is it not?

Good feedback guys, I am working *right now* on the minutes from the discussion at the summit on this very topic. Hopefully the stuff we discussed will be what you are looking for.
