I live in my POS 24/7. It is my home and I only visit stations when I am forced to by either buying, selling or upgrading my clone.
Right now I may not do changes to my POS since it is anchored for my corporation and giving me the right to build and modify my own POS also gives me the right to edit any other POS in the corporation. Since this is a security hazard I need to contact one of my directors for every small change I want to do.

erm TL/DR
CCP need to give the whole pos system a proper overhaul, it's not been touched since the fuel blocks, and that wasn't much of a touch.
Proper Modular Pos -
Get rid of Advanced, Mobile, Hyasyoda labs, have 1 lab that you can configure given certain restrictions, Copying slots takes takes so much resources, Invention takes a different amount, ME research takes different etc, simplify instead of overcomplicating, give us the option to tweak them to suit our needs at the time.
Not sure about arrays, since they're sort of specialised at the moment, but they need some attention, ammo array capacity is too small
Treat towers as individual units if preferred, so roles can be set to allow corp members into certain towers, but not others (such as supercap building arrays)
Make towers take resources even when offline, even if it's just empire charters if you're in empire, it's farcical that to anchor a tower I need a charter in the cargohold of the ship but it does nothing. Give a weeks notice that the tower is going to run out of charters, and then unanchor it
Allow personal towers within a corp, so player X can anchor a tower, use it properly, but not have access to player Y's tower
Proper storage facilities, corp hangar arrays for members, so everyone can have their own little bit of the storage, depending on how it's configured, it's up to the configuration to set how many members they have in the corp, and then the total storage space is divided up by that number, ie total storage is 2,000,000m3 and you have 50 members in the corp, each member gets 40,000m3 for storage of stuff, and also an array that can store ships that are not stealable instead of the SMA where anyone with the role can pull a ship out, as long as the ships are lootable should the storage get destroyed, they get spat into space, along with the hangar contents. |

Being a WH dweller i have to deal with the whole POS issue every day.
Please CCP listen to the experiances set down in this and other threads and give us the POS mechanics that we crave.

It's not even that.
If you live in highsec, there are POSes everywhere. They are strictly necessary for industrialists.
If you live in lowsec, they are fundamental to gameplay and conflict.
In nullsec, they are fundamental to gameplay, conflict and are simply a requirement.
In wormhole space, it's the only thing you've got.
If Unifex think we're a small part of the community, I really don't know what to say.
I could see why he would think that, but I don't expect him to play the game, just understand the issues. |

So here we are on page 109 of an unofficial thread relating to the CSM meeting notes. I sure hope CCP understand how badly they misunderstood the POS situation.
The next most popular thread is about CSM voting. Now this does not necessarily indicate the importance of each topic, but there definitely has to be some correlation.
Don't get me wrong, I want new and wonderful toys and mechanics. I would love to see the excitement, wonder and interest of a release similar to Apocrypha. POS revamp doesn't sound sexy, but I think I have read some decent suggestions in this thread (and others) that could be very interesting.
Sure hope we here from CCP soon. Allocate resources to FiS |

As a regular user of POS's in WH's, I would like to add my voice to the list of players that think POS's need work. I've no useful suggestions outside those that have already been made above, but an expansion just devoted to POS's would not be a bad thing.

Because of the terrible security on POS we w-space corp are forced to exclude large parts of the player base from our recruitment. When we explained this to Greyscale and Masterplan last March they could see this hits your bottom line.

We don't even need a whole new pos system.

As a nearly six-year long CCP customer with multiple accounts, I cast my lot in with the POS using populace.
Historically, I have used POSes for:
> null-sec ore and ice refining / storage. > a null-sec base prior to conquering an outpost and in order to have a place to grab replacement ships when fighting got heavy. > a place to log in my capital ship when staging for null and low-sec PvP activity. > null-sec travel via both jump-bridge and cyno-gen. > a high-sec place to run research jobs. > a catalyst for great low and null-sec fights. > a means to reimburse lost ships in PvP through the extraction and reaction of moon gold.
I have a ton of ideas on the modularization of POSes which will enable greater use AND create additional targets for destruction, but no time to type... will add to this post or create a new post.

This is a HUGE issue for 0.0. Small alliances try to move to null, and live out of a pos. Then have issues with security. All this dis-trust, underminds the overall goal. So alliances now think they have to grind for the 25b-80b for an outpost / outpost upgrades before even moving to 0.0. Or, even more often, they just fail at living in 0.0, and stay in empire.
WH space, same thing.
The current POS system HINDERS people from doing things. Fixing the POS issues, would help more people do thing and enhance overall gameplay.
IMHO, this is why POS restructuring should be a high priority on CCP's list. |

This is actually a kick at the CSM 7 meeting notes that were recently released, too.
Too many of the vocal CSM 7 members want more stuff to destroy and have no interest in building things. I think this issue would have been pushed if that wasn't true.
Once again, CCP has totally missed the boat. A LOT of people want to build POSes, but, with the current interface, it just doesn't make much sense.
Are the vocal CSMers afraid that a revised POS system would make them harder to kill?
Yes, I read all 113 pages. |

On of the most critical part of the current POS system is not the POS itself. The problem is in the rights and roles. In w-space, security is all-important for a corporation or alliance who want to grow and expand. Corporations can't recruit as easy as k-space corps and potential members can't join to wh corps as easy. Members want to keep their assets in safe, but with the current role system, there is no good solution. How do I look like when I win a fight? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32571986/out-2.gif |

perhaps the number of people living in wh space would rise if there was a more secure way to store stuff to prevent theft. as it is you can only have so many people in your corp w/ separate storage b4 you risk letting the wrong person have access to your shiny stuff. at the very least add tabs in the sma's similar to the cha tabs. |

I think (at least in the mid term) woudl be to make pos's function much like outposts. You dock at them, you build up the tower with upgrades to get extra's (refining, corp hanger space, ship refitting, etc.)
Basically just copy and paste the outpost functions, scale it down to a corp level, have it function as a corp office for the single corp, with an "alliance" office type tab (assuming it is launched for alliance that is)
I beleive if you make the pos's more modular like the outposts it would be better than the current. with the upgrads it changes like the strat-cruisers do when you change their subsystems, you could even stretch it to be like the strat-cruisers and fit it like a space ship, enginerring core, defence core, et al. That would also open up corp outpost salvage to be used for rigs and the like, and (not knowing the low level programming of eve) you could just make the corp outpost and "ship" that does not move, you fit a "can" with one core for each subsystem and when it is "launched" the tower deploys with the moduals loaded.
(no idea on how to balance refitting after it has been deployed)
more short term ideas:
Personal hangar buildings ( less cpu/power, less capacity, only usable to the person who launched it, and maybe logged director/ceo access as well just incase it needs to come down and the owning player is afk/vacation something)
have pos's able to give a bonus to PI or simular for all PI done by that corp in the same system (just an idea)
some way to give towers extra cpu/power grid (limit to # of addons to tower size ex; one each for small, two for medium, etc.) |

Ideas:
1) Make the POS into a smaller version of an outpost. Can be done using current game mechanics. Can be made to look like an Imperial Deathstar for Amarr, or alike a Borg Sphere for the Minmatar. Or whatever.
2) Shields then are just like a ship's shield, right on the surface.
3) Services can be added and incapped as in outpost mechanics.
4) Labs, reactors, silos and such are added.
5) Ships can dock inside.
6) Defenses are mounted on the outside.
Modules are bought and manufactured as modules, but except for taking up cargo space during transport only guns and ECM antennas would actually show outside. All other services and modules would be added internally. You would not for instance have an externally visible or targetable reaction silo. The owner can install/uninstall it, but the only way to stop reactions by another player is to incap and/or blow up the POS.
There are probably 100 other more important things that can be done but I believe that the above structural changes could be accomplished easily. As for the mass insanity that is the patchwork of reactions, harvesting, etc. that will have to be hashed out by people more involved in that area.

Posting in a threadnaught.
Or maybe this has become a threadnarok.
Anyhoot - 6 years playing and my 2 isk:
POS got timers shortened for online/offline tower/modules.
POS got fuel blocks.
Security has never been a theme of EVE. The risk of being stabbed in the back is part of EVE. More divisions and more security makes things HARDER to manage not easier.
Managing any type of roles in the corporations is borked. Everyone in my corp is a director. Risky? Sure. Could I get screwed? Sure. That is also the reason I play EVE. I have been screwed. I have also been rewarded with epic loyalty... for now anyway.
POS being small part of player base? What planet are you living on? Thousands and thousands of POS in hi-sec alone. People grinding faction for hi-sec POS is probably the MAJORITY of mission runners.

I am one of the POS users right now. From my perspective I loved the idea of a modular pos. What i would want from the pos:es is
1# make it totaly modular that a new player can use a lowgrade version of every module to get industry slots.
2# make them scalable from the 1person manufacturing/research (personal pos) to the huge starwars like deathstar pos with guns and even more guns.
3# allow new modular modules to be added like docking bay and shield expander (forcefield today) that allow every other station in game to be exchanged for a new POS. this would make them destructable.
4# once this is in place remove 95% of all build/research slots in highsec stations (or even better remove 90% of all highsec stations let the players run them).
5# create a
I would love a minigame like how i setup my pos from a resource point of view. for example a Powercore creates powergrid but creates heat and eats fuelblocks from the powercore i can add datacores that also create heat and eat power then we got the normal modules like Labs & Manufacturing & guns etc. with the new Docking bay (so you can dock like in a station) if you got a habitat module. combined with a force shield generator that can expand a shield (so our supers can be safe) at high cost of power and cpu. giveing then all modules a bonus if the adjent module is of the same type. and a heatsink module that allow the heat to dispatch faster (when you start to stack you modules)
POS i highsec cost system status nr of licence charts every hour the cost of those should be substantial thus giving the player/corp/alliance an incentative to move to "cheaper and more dangerous territory"
the other bonus from this thinking is
# you move all the manufacturing to a bigger risk, that of a player owned stations that can be destroyed. # thues boosting both mercs & pirates alike. and giving the nullsec a big incentative to run the manufactuing in nullsec.
with this thinking and with a "civilian modules" you can introduce POS for new players
You could also make the POS the backbone for a nullsec revamp removing station,IHUB,TCU,TBU and moving its functiosn to new modules for the modular pos.
I know its asking to mutch but put a small team on starting to build the building blocks for the new pos,es even if it takes |

[Reposting my thoughts from another thread, as this appears to be the more appropriate place for them.]
Arguing about how many people are affected by POS issues and whether they're a small portion of the community or not misses the point entirely. Their willingness to devote time to niches of the game is the problem here.
The wonderful thing about EVE is there are so many diverse things you can do. Not everyone does everything in EVE, and many of us do things that only a small portion of the community really does. The game has a huge variety of small niches. That's what makes EVE great.
If CCP is going to from now on only concentrate on adding or improving things that affect the majority, they will strip away from the game its greatest feature. It will certainly make the game much more homogenous, and probably reduce their work-load a lot, and allow them to devote more attention to features that affect more people. But the game will rapidly lose its depth, if this is to be the future direction CCP takes. It's worrisome to hear that kind of talk.

I think that it is the wrong approach to view a pos fix as something that only helps a few players. If done well the fix will get many more people making use of individual pos's thus making it a fix that helped a great many players. |
