It is good to hear that all of you are so heavily invested in the game, and specifically in things that need an overhaul. You guys still have passion for EVE and that in turn makes me more passionate for what I do here. Furthermore, it would appear that Two step, albeit being present at the CSM summit, seems to have misinterpreted what has been stated so far. That said, I want to bring three quotes from the CSM meeting minutes to your attention:

From page 15:

"Unifex: Once we have a theme, we can begin to thread the issues you've identified as needing to be prioritized into that theme. POS's, for example, desperately need some improvement. How do we fit that work into our theme? Maybe we don't do all of the modular POS work at once, but we start by making some modules, solving the hangar problem, for instance. But that new hangar module would also exist to support other new activities as part of the themed expansion. "

From page 99:

"Seagull: We have 4 things that are interacting [regarding the POSes]: the gameplay and design of the POS system, the role POSes play in achieving things in the game (its features), the technical layer (code) then manages all of this (which currently is old and needs refactoring), and art. Regarding art, there is the question of do you want to redo the art, do you want to show individual modules (as opposed to have things inside, like a station), and then you have technical issues, such as what does the rendering complexity of a scene do to client performance?"

"Seagull: The reason there's a GÇ£noGÇ¥ to doing [Modular POSes] right now is that it was affecting all of these areas in a way that was too big to do at once. What you're trying to do is try to find a way to get what you want, but what we need to do is go back and look at how we can separate all these layers, and figure out something reasonable, and then have Art do something that's immersive and amazing."

Nowhere has CCP stated that the Player Owned Structure system will not receive attention. Many of you have already pointed out that it is painful to use at best, a huge pile of unusable dingleberries at worst. Some talk about this being the "old" CCP appearing again but I want to assure all of you that the mistakes that happened in 2011 will not repeat themselves. CCP has only stated that THE OVERHAUL CANNOT HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE

I can't make promises for game designers or the people that make content for EVE Online. Please try to remember that. What I can do is assure you that your voices have been heard, the opinion of the CSM has been heard, and the concerns raised in this thread have been heard.

You have GOT to be kidding me.

POS'es were deemed to be not a worthwhile investment of resources, but what is?

What was more important than fixing poses?
What would affect a larger playerbase than fixing poses?
What have you dedicated some portion of resources to, that might have otherwards gone toward expiditing a pos fix?

That's right. A feature that almost noone wants, that almost noone cares about, that is already facilitated through the use of other mechanics (Jetcan at a safespot, be in same corp, RvB, safespot in lowsec), has been prioritized, over POS'es.

You should be proud, CCP. Really. I am in awe of your prioritization here. This is mind blowing.

Well.. I think that limited engagement feature was actually meant for Retribution and just didn't get done in time... so I don't think it was developed at the expense of POS's explicitly. I'm not sure that CCP even has firm plans yet for the summer. From the minutes it looks like there is no plan whatsoever.

The POS rebalance has been many years overdue, and we were actually promised it a year ago, so development into limited engagements, while perhaps not drawing exclusively away from POS revamping, did directly draw away from the resource pool that we were informed what, last december (2011) was going to go towards the pos revamp.

more creation means more destruction.

+1 do something about this.

1. They should be more logical - for example common storage space.
2. Have more DPS - be able to take at least one capital during a reinforce phase ( if someone is stupid )
3. Be more customizable
4. Pos shield could be an additional module - vary in size ... and fuel consumption
5. Have different base setups:
- industry pos 1 reinforce but no major ship storage
- "home pos" large ship storage ... but no industry capability ( multiple reinforce timers ... yes sometimes you want to get 3 days off from the game)
- military instalation High damage, high defence - JB, Cyno Jammers etc ... no industry or big ship storage, but large shield .

Faction war is garbage.

What I'd really like (VERY LOW PRIORITY!) is an in-game mechanism whereby I can hack into it and take it over - Squatting in someone else's derelict tower seems kinda like a fun opportunity to get some pew-pew going on.

This is a pretty broken way of doing things, I think. At least, they should only base it mainly on the CEO's and/or Directors' standings and make a skill like Diplomacy mollify the effect of corp members standings.

+1 for self destruct button on a POS doing doomsday damage to everyone within 100km

Give the POS some Lovin! Better placement interfaces, automated turret deployment and reloading, better gunnery interface, more toys and BETTER GRAPHICS AND MODELS!

Lets try playing nice until the planning process is done, to start with.
