I don't see how smaller corps or alliances can survive with no POS shield. I know the CSM minutes are just thoughts and theory flying around, but the thought of no force field around the new POSs I think will discourage a lot of the smaller wormhole corps.
1. Docking is nice, but these new POSs better have good defense, otherwise POS camping will be the new name of the game.
2. Mooring is kind of an odd way to store ships and better have a bump prevention otherwise these Mooring mods will be useless
3. If POS camping (know as station camping in high sec and low sec) becomes regular i think you will see a lot of frustrated players who just quit wormholes all together.
A lot of the lower class wormholes are full of 2 and 3 man POSs, and if you think wormholes seem empty now... wait till more people move out with lack of POS protection. |

Let's wait for the devblog that tells us their current direction before we go off fighting battles that are probably pointless.
edit: seriously, all this bluster about POS camping in w-space is rather silly, don't you think? It's not like they said you won't be able to put guns on the POS. Who's going to tank a properly-fitted POS just on the hopes you'll undock?
The same people who tank gate guns and station guns? People do it in low sec all the time...
It depends on how much protection you can put on your personal POS, If i can spend the isk to have the protection i have now I would be ok with no POS shield. Now if they make it to where you have to have 15 or 20 of the little "Player space homes" to have the protection i have now, I'm not going to be happy at all.
POSs with a force field lets you warp away even when there are 20 people sitting outside your POS, if you have to undock those 20 people are going to mess you up.
(There are ways around this, insta warps ect. but you still have that chance if CCP does something like Caldari stations where you don't always come out aligned to your insta warp.) |

Removing a POS shield from small towers would encourage more of the said pew pew and generate more lewt.
if you want to be safe, head to empire. It is, but the lack of local lets you fight on your own terms. (If your smart)
and they are talking about removing the force field for all POSs not just small.

Your ship will be moored and be rendered invulnerable, allowing you to see what's going on.
I don't see what the big issue is.
As long as you properly fit and defend your pos then you should have no issues, CCP is more likely gonna make pos weaponry stronger in the revamp.
The problem with mooring, is the fact that when you undock you have to make it there first. Just wait until you undock to a 15 to 20 man bomber fleet on your door step. |
