Jita Park Speakers Corner

I use a POS everyday and have for the past couple years. They need work. A lot of work. I understand that it can't be done all at once. But really that is something CCP should have realized much sooner. They said it would take time, and I'm ok with that. But they have had lots of opportunities to fix small things that would make it a lot better. They have given the reason for not doing this as being that they are working on a new system and the overlap would be a waste. It is but if your not going to release it all at once then it pretty much goes back on what you have been saying ever since they were working on fixing POS's. I have been very happy with how the expansions have been going, but this kinda makes me a little mad.

Basically CCP, you lead us to believe that we would be getting a full revamp all at once, and that was why we weren't getting small fixes. Well guess what now you've changed that and I hope that you make up for all that time we've been waiting for a full revamp.

Also small portion is kinda a bad way to look at it. Without POS's the entire economy would fall flat on its face. Its pretty ridiculous how many POS's you can see flying through null. Thanks for making pos passwords easier but seriously you need to do a little better.

Ok rant over,

TL;DR I'm a crazy wormhole person thats kinda mad at this explanation. RAWR!!!!

I suppose the question is, could the null community exist in the current state without POS?

If the answer is no, then ask the POS backbone players if they are happy about the current state of the POS system.

As i understand it, the entire thing is a nightmare.

tl;dr fix pos

I like convenience as much as the next player, but wormhole space is fringe living a bit of inconvience is implied. My point is, I wouldn't sacrafice realism for convenience. The ability to project a Holo grid patern for defence module placement would be cool though :)

I am 100% in support of a total POS revamp. More options, more flexibility. A place to call my own.

The pos mechanics are frankly horrible. Don't do this to us ccp. We were promised a fix, please deliver.

Fix poses!

Then go check how many people voted for Two Step for CSM. As he is WH-representative Iwould expect most of his supporters deal with POS at daily basis.

CCP, wormhole dwellers are not small part of your subscribers. High-sec industrial corps are not. Deep npcnullsec corps are not. Only a few people in coprs operate POSes not because POSes are not needed but because they are SO HARD to operate. If you ever plan to make null sec outposts destructable you have to face POS revamp -> they will be affected. There are also SO MANY issues with current system that it is almost harder to solve them with current one than revamp POSes. This is a core game mechanic just as the stations and inventories are. And it needs love.

Post. Do want.

I am a vocal minority, POSes need an update regardless of how much time, energy or cost it takes.

I understand that you cannot do an overhaul all at once (which really defeats the purpose of calling it an overhaul, the basic definition of overhaul would indicate an entire rewrite of the entire system)

As it stands the current POS Management system combined with Corporation Management system makes Wormhole POSes a living nightmare. Security is terrible at best.

Currently I can have access set to Alliance, Corp, Fuel Tech, and Config Starbase. This leaves us really with 3 roles for SMA access.

Incoming members can either have the keys to the city to an SMA or have no access at all, where is there any room for security? There are not enough ranks to have levels of access. New members come in with "Corp" Access which keeps them from Veteran and Elite SMA's and CHA's. It also only grants them access to one of 7 slots within a CHA based on their roles.

The problem here, is say this incoming player is a thief. We strip his roles. Great he cannot access the CHA's anymore, but WAIT. He can get into the SMA's and take all the shiney ships because the basic access required is only "Corp". This is unacceptable.

If anything simply reconfiguring SMA access to that of CHA access would be a great improvement. SMA's need "tabs" just like their CHA counterparts.

You cannot come out with the awesome ideas of a POS update like in the summer and expect us not to be upset when the entire design seems too large to handle and shelved. Clearly this is what the players want. Clearly it is something that would draw people to EVE. Who wouldn't want to aspire to a large POS that can be customized and designed to a player's liking?

On a separate note, why do WH dwellers get no love? Why can I not anchor a Capital SMA to store all my Capital ships? The system was broken and implemented poorly.

Really? :/
Spare a thought for all the poor logistics chaps doing tower fuelling in nullsec. They have to deal with this interface day in day out.

Please fix poses.
