Thanks for that helpful reply.

It would be nice to be able to use password secured containers with freighters and jump freighters. There is no logical reason why it can't happen (might be difficult in the code).

Boxes for categories like in contracts

Tabs of the pos modules

Yep we agree, and will likely add this in an update next week.



If you mean corp divisions then yes you can already do that if you first select a facility.

I will mention containers in freighters to a few people (Fozzie would be best to make a call on this) however I am more specifically interested in the use of containers for installing jobs from / to, since that is what we updated in Crius.

That is also the same thing

Q: How will i get a password protected can to a pos if it can't fit in a freighter
A: I won't

You can be a pro and use

and you can fit over 100 of these in even something as small as a blockade runner.

Ok, found a cute problem:

Decided to play with the building to a container. I already had a few station containers laying around, so I picked one as a target for my 10 new shiney iteron V's. Diidnt even think about size restriction, and the interface certainly didn't bark.

Now that they are completed, it wont deliver them to the container since it isn't big enough, nor can I redirect them to a bigger container or hanger.

I went and bought a station vault container and renamed it to the original targets name, but that didn't have any effect, assuming its the internal ID's of the items that are connected.

So... how do I get the product delivered?

I love the idea and utility of organizing BPOs and BPCs in containers at my POS. I am really irritated that I have to move those containers to a ship if I want to manage the contents of those containers. If using small containers to sort BPs at a POS is going to be the norm (and for any large industrialist, NOT using containers for the massive piles of BPs would be insane) then we need to be able to access the contents of containers inside POS arrays.

Some example use cases:

We have our BPOs sorted into containers inside the design lab to make copies, but need to produce directly from that BPO because we haven't had time to make copies of everything yet. We have to make sure we are in a ship that can fit small containers, move that container to the ship, find the correct BPO, and move it to the building array.

We have our BPCs sorted by container in the design lab, with output from copy jobs going directly to the correct container. We then need to go through the same process in order to move BPCs we intend to produce from to the building arrays.

Yeah this is slightly annoying, if you move the container away from that division it will deliver into the division instead.

EDIT: Or move the container into your ship if its a personal hangar in a station.

I would like to add an option so you could change the output location before you deliver, but we won't be able to add that until a later release this year.

Wow you guys decided to just mess up all of the industry in the game with this expansion huh...I can only imagine the CCP team meeting on this expansion..."ok guys, how can me screw over the entire logistical backbone of the game? How can we force the people in the sandbox to play in nulsec where we want them? Oh lets entirely change the industry of the game! Lets install a horrible UI that takes up 2/3 of the screen with useless information and blocks out all the useful info at the bottom 1/3, then lets make it as complicated as possible to use BPOs and while were at it lets make it super dangerous to use any valuable BPOs! I know its a sandbox, but those industry pilots in high sec are just not playing the game correctly, so lets force them into the Nul sec game, that sounds like a good idea!"

Thanks CCP for helping us high sec industry pilots! Thanks for helping keep the game running with low scale industry in high sec and not forcing people to play a certain style of play, I mean it is a sandbox right.

Oh yea and thanks CCp for giving me a reason to look for another MMO to play...wow this expansion was an EPIC FAIL!
