POS availability

given the fact a person can do level 4 missions a couple of hours per day and dedicate a couple of days and pay for the fuel for a small POS I wonder if it would be a good idea to make POS more available to corps ? Right now you need a ridiculous amount of standings (corp wise standing, not single person) to make it more available in low and high sec.

Right now, pos anchoring works with the average standings on the corp with the faction you want to anchor your pos in. For a single person, this can be fixed in a couple of months or so. For a whole corp, well it works on average so play with the numbers... in other words its nearly impossible because everyone has to work with their standings (only missions offer standings afaik).

I don't know how exactly how the mechanics should work but I think if a small corp or relatively small corp can easily take care of a small POS then I think it's normal if it's available in high sec. besides, manufacture, research, bpo copying and all those slots are taking so making it available in a pos for a corp would be a good thing if you ask me.

I can't think of a bad side to this idea besides the fact that empire space might have way more POS in moons but i don't consider that a bad thing.

Best thing would be to just use the highest standing instead of the average standings of all members.

As it is common game right now to kick all players, wait a week, launch the POS, accept all members again. So basically if one in the corp has the standings, they can launch the POS anyways.

Yup but its a ***** if your corp is already set up with all those access in the corp hangar and all the other corp related stuff. Thats what i usually do before accepting a new group. I setup a plan with a pos usage to see what the corp needs first and create it, wait a week, anchor the pos and invite people.

In my opinion, it should be like you said, highest standing instead of average.
