Originally by: sg3s So in short, I got bored finding all the ideas in this thread for a summary and started thinking up this crazy theory.
The reason CCP has largely ignored the ideas in this thread is because it is just... too simple, not complex enough.
Well, I think I can help with that so here I present you;
The Hexagon POS It basically revolves arround the main idea Evel made, modular, lego like blocks that can be set up how you like it, but with a few extra dimensions, quite literally.
- To use, or give the ability to use, more height, a tower now has 5 base height levels on which other modules can be attached. - From the tower outward, there are 4 'rings' in which certain structures can be build. - The first ring is essentially 6 hardpoints arround the tower on which 'rigs' can be mounted depending on what you want to utilise your POS for, rigs can take multiple hardpoints and variable ammounts of levels depending on the energy/logistical needs of the activity. - The second ring are the primary facilities or platforms. On platforms you can mount primary facilities in an orderly fasion together with some secondary facilities - The third and last 'inner' ring has either more primary or secondary facilities. - The fourth ring is outside the POS bubble handling guns, story on itself - The honeycone like structure is, to me, a lot more apealing. - Due to it's complicated structure it will be a lot more interesting for artists and be a lot more eve-like if you ask me. - Guns can be mounted on arrays at a few of 6 potential locations and/or top/bottom.
I am not great with 3d images like evel, but here is wat I slapped thogether to give you a basic idea of a slice of a POS at mid level.
Plain tower - Nothing on it Large production POS - Just slapped something on here, this might not actually work in game :-/
If this is till too easy then uhmmm try using a dodecagon like tower, I dunno, all fun and games to me. But really 3-6-12 are all powerful numbers that work well with anything.
Looking at your pictures, the first thing that spawned in my mind was...
"OMG, tetris in space!"
I know it's probably far fetched, doesn't change the fact it happened though.
My opinions belong to me, you can't have them!
