Not sure what is so hard to understand. Docking is docking. It is inside something else. You won't see it. Moored is moored. It will be outside so you will be able to see it. Invulnerable while moored. Otherwise no. Don't want to be moored and visible? Log off at a safe. People already do this.
Honestly, completely removing POS shields seems like a very difficult thing to balance. Any ship sitting unpiloted will now be vulnerable to theft. Its like leaving the door to your car open with the key sitting right on the seat in plain view while the local police are on strike.
The ability to board someone else's ship while it is moored is interesting. But if any passer-by can simply warp in in a pod and take it, no one will ever use mooring unless they're a complete imbecile. The risk is simply too great, especially where supers and titans are concerned.
I think the largest mooring services should be restricted to supers and titans. Otherwise as one person said, some idiot will moor their Rattlesnake where a titan should be, denying needed services. Dock that subcap plz.
Allowing for the fitting of multiple mooring facilities on a single structure could increase the number of total mooring points in a clear and useful way. But the facility could potentially have little left over for other things like defenses or other services.
The structure should imo have a default number of mooring points. Using all the available services slots could make the structure resemble an octahedron.
Another option is having larger ships require more mooring points, while smaller ones require less. But this could end up being needlessly complex since there will be varying sizes of structures anyway.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one considering this. It just seemed so far-fetched I didn't post it.

Do you park your car on the street with no risk of it ever being stolen? No. Do you go on vacation with zero risk of someone breaking into your home and stealing all your things? No. Do you use your credit card online with no risk of your financial information being stolen? No.
The same things are true of Eve Online. The difference is that in Eve, there are no repercussions for theft if it is done within the game universe. There is no place in Eve Online for a zero-risk situation. If you think it should be so, Diablo 3 is over at the Blizzard servers.

So you are in a situation where you cannot move and have no protection and since you just sent all your friends through a bridge no immediate backup. This issue needs resolving. I don't necessarily agree, though I'm sure my alliance would disagree strenuously. :) I feel like a basic requirement to guard your titan while it's vulnerable is not a bad thing. Except that you just bridged your guards away.
It seems to me that you are of the opinion that you should be able to operate the most expensive ships in the game with complete impunity and disregard to any and all risk. No POS shield means that if you are foolish enough to send every ship at your disposal through the jump portal, then you deserve whatever misfortune befalls you once they are gone. Risk versus reward.
