CCP seems to see POSes solely as a tool for research, production, wh life, ... and forgets that POSes are also a tool for players and corporations to leave their mark on the world, their very own little castle.
"Our own POS" already is a stock goal of empire-based corporations - completely regardless of whether they have an actual use for the capabilities offered by a POS or not.
If the POS system would not be quite as terrible as it is POSes would quickly become the EVE equivalent of player-owned housing in other MMOs.

We don't think it's not going to happen. Maybe we did at first, but that's on us - perhaps we didn't read closely enough, didn't notice the sections Gargant brought to our attention. So that's no longer the problem.
Maybe you'd like to share your understanding with the rest of us?
(as CCP seems to fail at communicating as usual)
I don't see how adding new hangar arrays to the current POS system would gradually lead to a modular POS system as outlined at the previous summit (no POS shields, mooring bays, jumpdrives, linking several POSes together, arc of fire on POS guns, ...).
To me it seems that the modular system would be so different from the current one that it would have to be developed separately and cannot be achieved through evolution of the existing POS system.
The vibe I get from the CSM minutes, Two Step's blog post and the CCP response in this thread is that we might get a few bandaid fixes to the current POS system in the summer expansion which will then push modular POSes off the roadmap for the foreseeable future as that area of the game is considered "dealt with".

Two step wrote:This isn't the case. CCP has two basically separate decisions to make:
1) To fix the current POS system or not
2) To start work on a new POS system
Now it might be the case that they decide to fix the current system for this summer and start a new POS system after that, or they might decide to start on the new system at the same time they are fixing the current one.
You make it sound as if the implementation of the new POS system is a foregone conclusion and only the timetable is unclear (?).
If CCP feels that the business case for reworking POSes is currently just not there, then why would they commit to a complete rewrite of the POS system after the most pressing issues have been fixed (through bandaids to the current system)?
