I am happy to see that some of the original requests (from as far back as 2006) in this thread have been implemented. However, I believe that more needs to be done, and that the POS is still too tedious and unfriendly to the average user.
The management of the POS is too tedious and complex and yet, lacks the functionality that many consider important. It also ties in with the whole corporation roles, corporation hangars, and permissions, being overly complex and limited in functionality.
I believe the entire roles, permissions and hangar systems needs a major overhaul.
Some of the ideas that have been previously highlighted, need to be restated and the support for the changes need to be voiced once more.
Why are we limited to just 7 hangar divisions? and Why are these hangar divisions (and the non-sensical permissions) the same at each station, each POS and in each container? The current system makes micro management extremely tedious, very inflexible, and essentially does not meet the needs of the average corp Manager.
Access permissions, divison labelling and logs need upgrading and greater flexibility and independence between the different locations.
I would like to see the flexibility to have more than 7 divisions, to have different names and access permission setups for the divisions at different locations (at different stations, at a POS and in containers.
Another issue with POS's is with research...
Managing corp owned and player owned blueprints in a corp hangar for researching remotely at a POS is extremely insecure, and combersome when it comes to removing and moving blueprints around. Not to mention, stopping those who you do give access to the hangar, from taking everyone else's blueprints. Perhaps you could permit corp members to research their blueprints remotely at the corp (or alliance) POS from the safety of their own personal hangars, and not even need to use the corp hangar? I would also like to have divisions setup in personal hangars, so I can separate and organize my items the same way I can in the corp hangar.
This suggestion should be very easy to implement and will solve many of the micromanagement issues that plague management in every corp.
Please respond to this post if you agree/disagree and/or support these ideas.
