A major rework of the POS code by CCP would be enough work to be an expansion all by itself. So I doubt it. |

It depends how this ice issue is going to unfold. It's gonna effect products from PI as well as some are needed for fuel, etc. |

Doubtful. Expect minor tweaks here and there, but if you are thinking modular POSs then no. CCP's Motto: If it isn't broken, break it. If it is broken, ignore it.
Idea for Improving NPE. |

I think there are enough CSM members pushing a revamp that we'll be getting more details, plans and probably a few tweaks over the next 12 months.
A full revamp will probably take longer but some changes? ... GIve it a couple months and I'm sure we'll get a blog on the topic. |

Before they can start with changing the POS, they need to streamline and overhaul the corporation role system to make it more accessible and intuitive. It's overlapping with the whole POS permissions thing.
Then they can start to figure out how they want the modular POS to look like, and how it's set up and then probably have to code a completely new POS setup editor. If they plan for other modular setups, they may be able to create the editor first for the other stuff, test it out there and only when it doesn't break everything they can import it into the POS.
And then there's the transition phase. How can you go from one POS type to another and not have the POSes be offline. How will it disrupt moon materials, reactions, cyno gens, jump bridges, running science and industry jobs?
POSes touch on so many aspects, it's basically heart surgery. How to put in a new heart without killing the patient?
Imagine the outrage if they botch it. Too many people to risk the rage, too few people to justify allocating the required resources. Sovereignty and Population New Mining Mechanics |

I think complete pos overhaul will not be done in next 12 months, maybe 2-3 years, but with odyssey there are some awesome changes to how pos works.
And we will get more faction towers so they wil be something normal (i think they add them again because ice price will go up so pos maintenance with faction towers wont go up so badly) |

Now if only it took fuel blocks to keep outposts running
Like wise they could always have outposts destroyed during conquering. And putting them online again cost the building price with no upgrades. Join a Heroic Era today! |

This is so sad. They've talked about it since incarna started in 2006.

The POS system has always been a kind-of hack, hasn't it. Personally what I'd like to see is the removal of the concept of "small, medium, large" and for CCP to implement a single tower (per race perhaps) where the fuel requirements go up as you increase the number of modules. So if I want to put 1,000 ECM onto my tower, that's fine, as long as I'm happy paying 1b an hour for the fuel to keep it going (obviously that's an absurd example!).
I mean my current POS is a medium and I'd quite like to add another research lab to it, but in order to do that I've got to take a huge jump up to a large, or to put up a small at another moon. It's a shame I can't just add the module and pay the price in fuel.

why do they even need to mess with pos towers?
why not add some sort of structure that can be built and deployed by players that's in between a pos tower and an outpost? |
