good to see work being started on the POS system. while the listed changes don't affect me all that much (though i am looking forward to accessing all arrays from within the shield), its good to know this is a priority for CCP.

Good on the personal storage divisions, but I do suggest you make it so a director can remove members items. so if they go AFK for a week and a pos needs to be taken down you don't have to destroy all there stuff.

EDIT, ADDITIONAL: Without a proper rework of the structuring of corporate roles we are still pretty screwed though. Basically as long as someone has setup rights they can destroy everyone's stuff, this is much better over steal everything I will admit, but we should be able to assign roles on a per system basis, not just globally.

Looking good, CCP. I do hope, however, that you are planning on bringing the ability to publicly rent our POS Research/Manufacturing Slots. This is my #1 requested POS feature since POS structures were introduced.

Excellent news.
There's a significant issue I didn't see covered there: corp roles. CUrrently access is limited to everyone, Config Starbase Equipment and Fuel Manager. We need something in between so members can access arrays without also being able to defuel or dismantle the POS.

Glad to finally hear about T3, though I hope you expand that to include Ship Maint bays in capital ships.

As for corp hangars, you possibly should allow security managers to access everyone's stuff, and if a player leaves, the directors should be able to remove items from impound if the space is needed or the POS needs moved or reconfigured, and that player isn't expected back any time soon.

Not likely, but cap ship maintenance arrays does mean you can store carriers and dreads without needing one maint array per.

Excellent changes, thank you!

What I'd love to see next, is the ability of construction facilities to pull materials from storage hangars, and move the finished products to another... When you try to make things like Fuel Blocks, you can only make ridiculously small batches because of space constraints, so my alts inevitably end up tying-up public slots at npc stations that other people could be using.

Five-0 and SuperFriends are in for some serious bro love from the wspace guys at Fanfest in a few weeks :)

Thank you for listening to us on this one. You've made a lot of people very happy today.

Here's to hoping you work something out for personal SMA storage or even access restricted by titles or hanger division.

These changes are a good temporary measure to alleiviate some of the worst aspects of dealing with and living out of POS.

But they're not a substitute for a proper POS rework. Sooner or later that will have to be done.

I bet we can put you over 5k! oh wait...

Keep this up and add a way to make research slots public and I'd setup a POS again.

First: I like!

And I hope that you don't run into a road block!

Now on to some feedback:
Private Hangars
Quote:
No limit on the number of characters that can use the structure, but storage is limited per character. The exact per-character volume is undecided but we are currently considering a range from 10,000m3 to 40,000m3.


That sounds a bit strange to me. Consider a small corp with 10 pilots, they would end up using 400k m3 of 1'400k m3 (if the volume of the private hangar module corresponds to the corporate hangar module). Hence, a relative number would make more sense to me. Or on the other side, consider a really big corp with 150+ pilots, they would be able to use more that the 1'400k m3. As said it depends on how the total available volume, if there is any at all. And don't forget to link the private hangars in case a POS has two modules. Maybe provide access to the hangars and fuel bays via the POS and increase the size via the modules and let the drones take care of distributing the stuff (e.g. gun ammo).

Swapping and fitting Strategic Cruiser subsystems at a starbase
Will this become possible within carriers, Rorqual, Orcas as well? I hope so!

Accessing starbase arrays from anywhere within the shield
As mentioned before. Let the tower be the central access location for all hangars, so the modules just increase the available size.

As said, I like the changes and look forward to them!
Good luck!

I like all the changes except the one where you will lose access to storage at a corp level of individual player.

While I think that it would be nice to have my own hanger and be able to keep it separate from other people, there has been many times when you have to emergency evacuate a POS for any number of reasons and if the corp is unable to move items for other players that might not be able to get on within a certain time frame there will be many tears. It would be nice if CEO / Director still had access in some shape or form to close a POS down. I think the biggest issue comes from not having the space to store items on a personal level to be able to keep access restricted to general corp membership.

Beyond that I love the changes if they can be done.
