CCP we all love you all but PLEASE sort out POS's they are ridiculous.

Even if you refuse to do a POS revamp, we really need some way to secure SMAs.

I live in wspace and the security measures that are needed to be hacked together to make things secure is ridiculous.

This has all happened before...

Seriously CCP, what are you guys and gals thinking?? As has been said many times already in this thread, if it's too big an elephant to eat in one bite, then break it into chunks. One thing about most wormhole players is we are a patient lot. We'll sit here cloaked up watching a hole for 90 minutes trying to kill a buzzard for God's sake. Read through this thread and if you need to implement things in small chunks then do it. As long as there is some progress we really are on your side.

Deciding to just not do this because it's hard is ludicrous. So maybe you can't have the first grand vision on the first (cough,cough) iteration with massive docking rings and completely lego style pos'es with interior spaces that look like something out of Starship Troopers(yeah, I know, but it did have cool spaceships and stations) but throw us a bone for crying out loud. Some personal storage and roles revamp would be a huge improvement. Just think hard about it CCP. It's not a "small portion of the community". It's some percentage that is absolutely 100% dependent on POS'es and what they provide for their full gameplay experience PLUS all the other people in null and K-space that have to deal with these monstrosities in their small 5 and 10 man corps that get all their stuff stolen and quit, not because of some really James Bond level infiltration, but because somebody pressed the wrong button on a completely unintelligible interface and somebody else(Eve being Eve after all) could not turn down an opportunity staring them in the face when roles granted them CEO level access to everybody's stuff.

Reconsider please CCP. Private storage and roles as a starting point. Do it over a whole year cycle if you have to. But don't give up because you think it's hard.

The Work on the POSes are long overdue.

Come on CCP, Don't be asses and do it.

For starters make alliace usage easier to deal with ... that should not be THAT hard .

Pos's are tools used by ENABLERS AND INSTIGATORS, support them as you promised.

EVE is a game that has had issues in the past. Go back a year or two, or three and we had players raging because of the broken state of the game. The only reason I (and, I'd imagine, many others) have stuck around is because we feel like CCP is actually trying to move the game forwards. They've stopped creating features and then abandoning them. Faction Warfare is no longer worthless. All the ships that were underpowered are no longer ignored on the basis that "no one ever flies them".

Finding out that CCP has decided that updated the POS system is too much work undercuts that viciously. The POS system is, as it stands, at the core of EVE. You'd struggle to find someone who doesn't rely on it, even if very few actually work with them. If you've ever used a T3, you're relying on the stress and frustration of WH dwellers who have to fight with them daily. If you've ever used a T2 item, you're relying on moongoo extraction. If you've ever bought a ship for a decent price, you're probably relying on research done at a POS. If you've ever used a capital ship, that's a POS too.

Not a single player doesn't benefit from POSs. Making them less awful would allow all players to benefit more from them.

I don't do POS's specifically because they are a huge pain in the arse. I would if they were even half-convenient.

The last major change to POS's came out in 2007.(POS gunning, small changes to the UI layout). Most of those changes were removed over the years. (System Scanners, Tracking Computer Turrets, etc)
Most Game Devs look at items and mechanics that aren't being used much and think of ways to improve it. Not throw it back on a priority list.
It isn't 2007 anymore CCP. Revelations came out 6 years ago, it's time to look at POS's again.
