Jita Park Speakers Corner

Hi,

I'm really enjoying the CSM minutes. Mainly because I was able to connect to the instigators/enablers metaphor.

And while it makes sense creating the APIs that allows those players to create tools to make their life easier, I think you should not classify the small instigator differently (like small gang leader of something) than the one that affects hundreds or thousands of players.

Those small instigators are the ones most likely to become bigger instigators and are the ones most likely to be found by the new player just arriving into Eve.

The power of Eve, as you already know, comes from the emergent gameplay. If a newbie come to Eve and only play solo missions I can assure you this is a customer that will not stay. Once he or she comes, with exception of few, most finished up in high sec and being involved into a high sec corp is the best way to insure that this new player will stay.

Also it is important to take into consideration that, although Eve is a PvP game, it's PvP is often overwhelming to a newbie and most would start as industrial/mining players, trying to learn the intricacies of the game before dive into the PvP.

Why is this guys saying that in the POS thread anyway?

Because one of the biggest marketing tools of a high sec corp is a POS. It shows to the new players that they can participate in several activities (T2 manufacturing for instance) that would be far more difficult if they didn't have the POS. And goes without saying that to establish a POS is one of the most common milestones for new corps.

However the status of the POSes makes several people with experience maintaining them to run from them like the devil. I have been keeping a POS for almost a year, I even lived in a POS and tried to build a new corp in a WH (where you should live in a POS) but it was too much effort for something that is so long term (corps starting from scratch typically take some months to be able to standing still).

Revamping the POS is not something to help a few guys. These few guys affect far more.

And if you don't want to do a complete revamp, at least solve the weird stuff. Right now there is too much of it, security to start with...

I posted, I can has jumping POS now pls?

ORLY CCP, not many people use POSes?
Please, you must have some sort of Statistics collection, and if you do, I bet you will find that many, many people have and use POSes.

Also, if you do not have statistic collect, how does run a game so well? Please tell.

MODULAR POS

I support the overhaul of POS. I live in wormholes, and the current mechanic is pretty awful. fixing them would be a huge qualoty of life improvement for those who live in them and use them. Fix the POS. Pretty please CCP?

What's the difference between a player owned stucture, a corporate owned structure and an alliance owned structure?

post

+1 for fixing POS's in the interim and +1 for eventually replacing them with a new working, expanded, and preferably dead horse-based modular system

Oh and just a side note...

1,953 posts in this thread by the time it was officially 24 hrs old... That's not really a small group, statistically considering the % of people who post in game forums as a whole..

Please fix POS's CCP my CEO gets grouchy every time he has to go near the things

But seriously they should have an expansion centered around them because like whats been said already, everyone dreams of having a POS.

Also they may only effect a small amount of people if you count pilots who have direct management over them, however if you then consider they effect and influence how whole corps work and run (me thinks of WH corps), that number increases hundreds of times over.

Do POS's not warrant attention then ?

POST FIX POS!!!
