To Hek with the people unwilling to take risk (hello? wormholes? pure risk?), but if you're looking for a reason to give CEO/director access to personal hangar, it's to prevent a situation where an average member can do something that a CEO/director can't. Stuff can be stolen from existing CHAs, yes, but anything that's anywhere in any POS module can be accessed by the CEO/directors. Making a POS module where a trolling thief can put other people's stuff (taken from CHA, lab, assembly array, whatever) and deny them access to it, and a CEO/director can't touch it either, would be a new vulnerability.
At that point, from the system you describe, the only way to even have a chance of getting that "stuff" back would be to offline the tower and blow up the personal hangar array and hope for the best. Ew.

As opposed to just putting it in a carrier/Orca/freighter/hauler and logging off? This is no new threat to anyone. You could fly the stuff out to a customs office and dump it in there now if you wanted. With the new PHA, the CEO and Directors will be able to see what you have in it, so they can sanction you accordingly for thefts. If you want to profit from your spoils, you'll still have to drag it out of the wormhole in something that anyone in the corp can blow up. |

Fair point but not everyone has an Orca alt or would be willing to commit an Orca to a wormhole they intend to rob. What Kennesaw is laying out is a way anyone could easily instigate asset deprivation. |

True that there's no new threat, merely an extension and convenience factor to an existing one. I just don't like the idea of there being something in a POS I manage that I can't manage. |

That would be great if CHAs were a sane way to do personal item storage at all, ever. Right now it's cans or bust, and I could write you an essay about how using cans to organize your things in a CHA is a nightmare. Usually every tab is in use by the corp for sorting its own things. If we were just choosing between public storage and private storage, that would be fine. But you're asking us to choose between "finally I can store my own things in a simple, easy to access manner" and "my stuff can't be totally locked down utterly at this time for whatever reason so it's back to the old ways".
If you're really intent on keeping PHAs 100% secure and personal, are you at least considering another type of module with a lower tier of security but similar ways of dividing up items so we can have the best (and corp-thieving worst, should we choose to risk it) of both worlds?
And, to change the subject a little, will PHAs become inaccessible the same way CHAs do when the POS is reinforced? |

Again: move the crap to a customs office. They're just general storage floating in space that you can put anything you like into.
Also, who needs to move an Orca or any such thing into a WH in order to rob them? You just train up your character(s) to be able to fly an Orca/all the freighters/carriers and you steal one of those too. Why go small in your theft when you can nab a 1.5 billion ISK freighter or even more disgustingly expensive carrier if that's what you're infiltrating a corp to do? Also, don't most people just strip every ship they can of valuable modules and self destruct all the ones they can't easily move for the insurance?
I'm no corp thief, but I can certainly think like one, and have read enough posts on heists committed in the past to get the gist of how those guys operate. It's called "casing the joint." In real life heists, people figure out what they can easily take with them and plan to do that quickly. Yes, the bank's whole safe did cost them a ton to have installed, but it also weighs several tons and is much harder to make off with than the contents of a specific few safety deposit boxes which may well contain bearer bonds or other valuable assets that are worth more than what's in the whole rest of the bank. |

But they're not a substitute for a proper POS rework. Sooner or later that will have to be done. Agreed, but "the perfect is the enemy of the good". CSM7 worked very hard to help CCP squeeze out the most bang-for-buck for the development resources available. CSM8 will have to keep the pressure on to ensure that as CCP develops its longer-term plans, a revamp of starbases is in the roadmap. These changes seem primarily focused on the WH usecase (not surprising given the CSM active member composition). I'm not saying they wont affect other POS users in a positive way as well, but the industrialist user might consider these changes pretty underwhelming. Oh well, here is hoping for some clickfest reduction for Christmas. I disagree. The access hangars from anywhere within the shields is *huge* for industrialists. I have an alt who does highsec POS stuff (was invention, now T2/T3 production) and that change alone will be very helpful.
When I said "primarily", this was the change I had in mind. And it IS a nice change to be sure (not huge but nice). Still, there is so many other aspects of industrial life that need attention that I still feel it is pretty underwhelming. It is a good improvement package for you WH guys though, and admittedly - you probably needed changes the most. |

Verified. I was wrong about this and you are correct. I never did try until now. Still, GSCs anchored in a safe spot. Hard to track down (but not impossible) and can only be killed to be rid of. Nobody can get into them either. |

My favorite part of the blog is where they are going to allow Capital Ship Maintenance Arrays in other places. Always annoyed me when we couldn't put them on our POS just because we didn't hold sovereignty out in 0.0. Would make things much more convenient and easier with them. Also, another good thing is accessing stuff from anywhere inside the POS shield. Was always a pain in the ass slow boating to the arrays in a cap ship to access the hangars and so on. *removed inappropriate signature* - CCP Eterne |

This worries me. As there is no way to contract, sell, move, courier, or trash the items in question they are essentially lost to both the player and the corp.
Griefing would be way too easy. Kick a player out and they lose everything. Hell, I wouldn't mind so much if it got put into a deliveries hanger there so the directors can access it, move it, sell it, use it, whatever. But locking it down sounds like a bad idea, IMO. |

My point is that making it in the POS at the new personal hangar makes it trivial to deny access to resources. I know it's not a new threat, but the personal hangar array makes denial of access literally a drag and drop thing for the trolling thief, with no recourse from the POS managers. Philosophically, I don't like having a POS module with aspects that are off limits to the POS managers and POS owner.

I'd love to see an animation for this, even if it's just the standard tractor beam. This wouldn't just be aesthetic, it could be useful to have a visual representation of activity. Seeing beams of light flickering across industrial starbases would be a helpful indicator for both corpmates and other, more nefarious observers. A constant beam from operator ship to POS module being used would be ideal.
At the very least it would highlight the difference between the AFK and the active. Plus the starbase and occupants would look more like an ongoing industrial concern rather than just stuff floating idly. Freebooted - Tech4 News - Incarna: The Text Adventure - Guild Launch EVE Correspondent |

Im glad to see these changes finally arriving, and so soon at that. I get that not all of it will be able to go live by the 4th but It is a great start. Especially the edits to personal hangars and interbubble access which will make this soo much easier especially when youve got an orca full of ore to bring over to an assembly array moving at like 3m/s Lol.
Just on a side note for another change i might reccomend would be the refining arrays, I hate that you need to be in .3 or lower to use them its a terrible drag on time and efficency to have to go find an Empty .3 moon rather than the .4 you already have set up especially for people who cant enter high sec. It would be great if they could be anchored there and linked to either a silo or corp hangar as well to make it simpler on everyone who uses them.
Other than that looking foreward to the new expansion and what secrets it holds for us all haha |

I would like to offer my corp mates a storage space in my POS just not access to fly inside the bubble. Some day I will have the internet and be able to play again. |

Letting directors and/or CEOs access the member's sections of the PHA is not going to be within our scope for the first iteration due to technical limitations, and I am honestly not sold on ever adding it. These structures are not intended to completely replace CHAs for all purposes, and the added difficulty to rapid evacuation provides slightly more incentive for wormhole invasions.
The Personal Hangar does not have any limits to total storage, which significantly reduces the amount of management that needs to be done to keep it running smoothly.
And a reminder once again, we are not allowing people to build supercaps in wormholes or lowsec, don't worry.

Or are they still under NDA?
As for the devblog itself, this is wonderful news! All of it. I'm sure 90% of players would approve of an Odyssey launch delay if it takes an extra couple of weeks to get all of it done.
These changes address just about every issue players have had with POSes over the last few years. So what was the reason again for blowing us off (and two step [who despite my dislike of him has been the best CSM7 member]) last year in favor of some pie-in-the-sky "POS 2.0" system that never got off the ground? These changes should have been delivered in..... what was the name of last December's expansion again?
I'll end on a positive note. These POS changes are awesome. |

I love all these POS changes!
However, 10k-40k m3 is a TINY amount per person. If you are a miner, you can fill that up in under an hour with one barge! When combined with the 3 hour cycle time of the Intensive Refining Array, I don't see how this will work for WH miners.
Also, can we do something about the intensive refining array? It takes up 4k cpu and 750k pg, takes 3 hours to run, refines at 70% (unaffected by skills), can only refine one type of ore at a time, and doesn't even have tabs! The medium intensive is identical except it takes 1/2 the fitting (still at ton), takes 1.5 hours to run, and holds 1/8th as much.

Will there be support in the EVE API for the per-character container? i.e. within http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_API_Corporation_Asset_List
There's a few outcomes I could think of, from worst to best:
(1) API broken for anyone who anchors one of them (2) Contents don't show in API (3) Contents show, but all jumbled together (4) Contents show, in separate subcontainers, but no indication who owns what. (5) Contents show, in separate subcontainers, and a characterID attribute on the subcontainer showing whose it is.

To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Agreed, 10 - 40k is a tiny amount. You could, alternatively, just anchor another CHA and drop stuff into a tab that you have access to (all players maybe, or something similar)?
