Wormholes

Being relatively new to eve, about a year, i have seen many glorious things in eve and am highly addicted. One thing that seems to boggle my mind is why we can not loot or take POS , equipment , or items that have laid Dormant in a wormhole or area? Seems logical. I tend to live by the thought of "Fail to fuel your pos and live with the consequences dear fellow eve addict." To many systems i have been in have dormant desolate wastes of items that could be sold for some serious isk , or possibly of some use to the Explorer. Why not give the bounty to the pirate or the explorer to add to his tales of wonder. I was there ...Live it. Embrace it. Love it my friends.

Mini Eve program - Skill Manipulation only -

So as to not make another thread for the second idea but what about a small or mini eve program that runs on ANY computer where you can log in and at least set up your skills before they run out? Most people do travel or have crappy laptops that the new captains quarters pretty much nuked into a word processor only paperweight... Having a mini program would allow anyone anywhere to adjust their training. Just an idea to boost the eve fun and it's addictability. shrug.

Respectfully,

I have thought this too, i have a netbook that will not run the EVE client.
Rather than a mini program, how about making it web based, thus enabling updating of skills queue from anywhere, without having to maintain seperate Windows and Mac 'mini' clients.
Other advantages of web are no need for client side updates.

This ties into the whole "POS Mechanics Are Terrible" issue and has been beaten more often than a red headed step child.

The whole POS mechanics system is in desperate need of an overhaul.

I discovered an abandoned POS worth over 3 billion isk last night. There was nothing I could do about it; I ended up just leaving it alone and moving on.

It should say "That POS is protected by the magic Anchoring Spell". Because I see absolutely NO mechanic that makes sense that you can't remove a powerless POS...except magic.
