I am Nick's happy face

I am so full of happy about this. I live out of POSes, I have set up and taken down POSes, and while there are a lot of things that this won't make better, there's so much that it will. It will tide me over until the next round, at least.

Two minor nitpicky questions that I hope the devs are thinking about:

1. Accessing guns. Those are not technically inside the shield, and previously loading guns required you to make your ship vulnerable to attack. It's a small thing, but we've had some real fun with people who set up imposing death stars but didn't load all their guns and had to motor out of their shields to do it. I can go either way on this. On one hand, it makes the setup WAY less tedious. On the other hand, it takes away a fun way that people can be stupid. The POS operator in me is going one way and the POS attacker is going completely the other, but do think about it and let us know which way it's going to go.

2. SMAs and this "Access from anywhere inside the shield" shtick. Are we going to be boarding our ships from across the POS? That's cool and all, but also has real bugtastic potential.



The only structure you can access in an offline POS is the tower itself, so that just comes down to fueling. I assume it will just default back to the usual access distance? The online-without-shield question is also something I would like CCP to think about.

Also, for the love of god, get this stuff on Sisi as soon as you can. There is so much potential for catastrophic bugs that this needs to get as much testing as possible before release.

All of this looks great; thanks for making an effort to fix some of the worse parts of living in WHs. I really hope the personal SMA makes it into the summer release, but even without it this will be a major improvement.

Um, how about you don't put publicly available stuff in a private hanger, genius.

another side note, but relevant to all of this....
no where has it said that the CEO won't be able to have normal full access to everything in his POS.

Awesomeness :)

Could you add something like looking in all labs/CHAs/whatever for the items regarding R&D jobs? Scenario is, having something like a research output, and for some jobs (especially inventions) some input materials are needed, which currently has to be in the lab with the selected slot. It'd be a relief if we could have such things in any labs, or even better, anywhere within the POS's storage arrays (whatever has a cargo).

Also, could you please take a look into those remote R&D jobs? We'd love to be able to use them on POSs, for starting jobs, without an outpost/station in the system. Also, copy slots being usable in a cross-corp/private manner would be nice.

Keep on the good work :)

missed that, ty, and then I pretty heavily disagree with it... can understand waiting on directors having access, but the CEO?

i read that this wont replace the CHA sp those functions will still work as is. wich makes my points moot ;) and alsomakes this change awesome!

It appears to be a technical limitation rather than an actual design feature. I can live with it as long as it's iterated on as soon as possible.

Would it be correct to assume this means that doing trivial, but time consuming and important tasks like resupplying starbase turrets with ammo can now be done from anywhere inside the PoS?



heres hoping I won't continue to see 50 goddamn orcas on D-scan every time I log into the home system because of this one.




...Fozzie if you had boobs I think I would be in love at this point.
