A complete POS overhaul should be a priority for the summer expansion

"As part of a POS revamp plan, I believe you should not have "inside" docking."

^this is by far the most important one IMO.
absolutely do not want any form of docking in POSs.

We could just permacamp AHARM poses and keep podding TwoStep until he realizes how dumb the idea is.

"Regardless of any plans to re-vamp Player Owned Starbases, online players must remain externally visible."

and:

"If a re-vamp of Player Owned Starbases includes removing the forcefield then effort must be made to preserve the defending players immunity to targetted modules within a certain range of the POS."

We could just permacamp AHARM poses and keep podding TwoStep until he realizes how dumb the idea is.

Here's a statement:

"C4's should get a dual connection to wh-space. You know, to help the kids in the ghetto."

I remember during ATX someone saying he started playing in wormholes and realized how utterly terrible the current pos mechanics are for the wormhole community.

Hopefully that person is someone of influence in the conversion process and CCP does not go full jackas.s on the revamp on us.

That or with any luck Fozzie will manage to get involved, he seems to have done a standout job so far on the ship balancing. I wouldn't put it past him to do the same standout job on not ruining pos's.

I think the most important question... Will we have wis in our wormhole posses, and it so, will we be able to all sit in our main pos and play poker? Can see it now. "we have a carrier tackled at the sun..." A few seconds of silence go by. "but I have 4 aces."

Hi everyone.

Every election since the CSM4 elections I've ran CSM Vote Match, a website where you can match your views and opinions about Eve with the views and opinions of the candidates. Since the Vote Match website looks like it is from 1997 I'm currently building version 2.0 from scratch which will offer much greater functionality and more nuanced matching! You can preview the new website here, but keep in mind it's currently still filled with placeholder and mockup content.

But I need your help!

I need statements to present to the candidates (and the voters), and I like them to be as diverse and useful as possible. It's not easy coming up with 40 statements by myself so that is why I am asking you.

I]...]

intro:
WH has too much advantage over k-space and too low risk to live in. Lets say your corp lives in a class 5 wh, where only the loot from a rat BS is 50Misk. You do all the anomallies which are active and instead of waiting for another spawn next day you just scan for the wh in your own system. If it is again class 5 you go and do the anomalies there. If by some chance it leads to undesirable space - like goon space for instance - you jump a carrier through in and out and close the WH. There is imediately another one spawning leading to some other place. There is no need for system upgrades, no need for soverenity warfare nothing. 20man corp can make tons of money and avoid all undesirable fights. Hence WH should be nerfed - TOO MUCH ISK for too small risk involved!

Here are the statements:

- The number of WH connecting K-space should be increased in order to increase pvp.
- Player induced closing of a WH should be nerfed.
- WH should be more accessible.
- POS mechanics in WH should be changed, so that it can be killed in a single day as long as a WH lasts.

I just want to say one thing;


I think creating new topic over old topics is not going to help a change, but create more confusion

First of all there are alot of "opnions" here in the forum dating back since the new forum got up.
Those were never answered or are closed due inactivity.

While i do have to say that creating a pol is an excellent idea I do hope that the people who posted there ideas wont get ignored.

Can see it now. "we have a carrier tackled at the sun..." A few seconds of silence go by. "but I have 4 aces."

To make the "match" as realistic as possible, please consider adding (if you haven't already) a certain feature where the CSM candidate also scores which statements are more important to him/her (or give a top 3 or something). A CSM candidate can agree strongly or disagree with a WH statement, yet if they themselves are located in K-space and the statement does not influence them at all, I doubt you will see a lot of effort on the matter.

we have a carrier tackled at the sun..." A few seconds of silence go by. "but I have 4 aces."

In a side note we don't need more then one csm.... There's this thing called vote splitting and it is bad

It think we have more then the numbers required to get a second WH CSM candidate, I'm not sure where all the votes came from last CSM but didn't TwoStep get the second most votes? I will have to see who puts themselves forward before i decide but i will probably be splitting my votes regardless next CSM.

I have deleted an off-topic post.

Prob wouldv'e saved us 4 bhaal's tbh...SHIP IT

thank you very much CCP..
Could you please tell me which ones of the posts here are on the topic except mine one?

I dont see any suggested statements apart from my ones. Why didn't you delete all irelevant posts?

It should be possible to dwell in w-space without a requirement to visit k-space to refuel, meaning that ice products should be available in w-space.

Dont like this idea since imo that is what makes it interesting. You need a supply line to the outside to have your haven.

If nothing but one thing can be changed, can we please have a way to change T3 subs inside a wh? <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

I don't think that's the one change I would push for, but to each their own. Most of my t3 hulls have different rigs and are too expensive to keep changing. (however if they made rigs on t3's removable I'm in) I would rather see clone swapping in rorquals myself.

Statement for agree/disagree: POS overhaul should not be assigned into the release schedule until there has been significant CSM and player feedback on CCP's ideas. Until then, it should be a "when it's done" feature.

I think this will be a huge agree/disagree across not only w-space but k-space. I see a lot of people champing at the bit for a POS overhaul rite nao, but I can honestly say that I am dreading it because if there's just a massive push to get it done OMG ON TIME then we're going to be miserable until they finally get around to iterating maybe. I can't be the only person who wants a voice on the CSM who will yell NO THIS IS NOT READY over and over again until it is, and to be sure that CCP is on the same page about this. If input is not sought until it's locked into a release schedule, we will all be unhappy.

Well in all fairness that is what the test server is for, if we are to lazy to go test out every aspect then we deserve it to be borked. I would just again like to say we need CCP to listen to whats being told to them, I'm more concerned about a system that is "working as intended" but makes WH's a living hell. We need a CSM that as the previous poster says will keep hammering home our message no matter if it jeopardizes there free holidays to Iceland.

The deserve it to be borked sentiment isn't particularily constructive to be honest,

historically what has happened is that new stuff is released to test server so late that even though the player base finds problems and posts about it in various threads. CCP finds themselves having to rush things into the Patch and then trying to fix it later, which in turn leads to more problems.

incidentally i was trying to make the same point you make here, stating that this kind of communication should maybe go through a CSM that's harder to ignore than a thread on a forum (we hope).

What about gas reactions? Currently, they take at least 5 pos modules to do one such reaction. Most of WH space will be very interested in how this gets changed in the coming pos iterations.

The last thing that I care about is how many POS mods it takes to make free money

POS overhaul should be a priority next summer.

POS overhaul should retain the force-field mechanism.

C.C.P. Soundwave's "little things" project should return.

If nothing but one thing can be changed, can we please have a way to change T3 subs inside a wh? <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

All I want from my POS is:

The Force Field.
Repackaging.
T3 Subsystem manipulation.
Mineral Refinery worth a damn.
I must be able to be in space, and D-Scan / Probe scan.

And NO docking.

Edit: Actually I wouldn't mind Module Reprocessing as well.

Getting back to the OP request here are questions I'd want asked:

--Would you favor making Rorquals able to use their clone bays to jump into/out of WH space?

--As part of the POS revamp will a module be allowed in WH space to allow clone jumping?

This two will make things way too easy.
All the corps/alliances which fight together will just leave clones and ships in the friendly WHs.

When a WH it is invaded, they will just jump clones and will be ready to defend.
No more rolling statics, bringing limited number of ships, etc. Everything will be there... ready... nothing to work for.

I would personally want to see a full fitting service so i can change subsystems on T3 without having to go out only to do that.

Clone jumping to Rorqual in WH would be imbalanced as hell towards defenders.

What I would like to see is ability to switch out clones on Rorqual. once every 24 hours like jump clones.

So we can have some control over which pirate set we're in

I would love personal hangars.. At the moment it's all a little messy in that area

We could just permacamp AHARM poses and keep podding TwoStep until he realizes how dumb the idea is.

You act like Twostep can tap a dev on the shoulder and say, "henceforth there will be docking games".
