You might want to add Force Fields to your overview, mate. Not all POSes in wormholes are online, and some of those offline POSes are offline for good reason.

Wormhole POSes are for defense, changing ships, and doing industrial work. Personal storage is best done in orcas.

heh or CCP could make things really easy on themselves. Just allow WH and single star system in unconquered constellation to have some sort of limited single system sovereignty structure so corps can build real outposts and stations instead. POS issues solved.

And with sov comes supercaps and titans. And with that comes a lot of unsubscribing of wormhole players.

Your corp operation philosophy mate. Its only one of several ways.

But yes I know some interior WH need extra industrial and storage due to not always having clear path to normal space. And some corp prima donnas (valuable senior players) just like to built extra POS as status symbols too (thus offline since they aren't actually needed)

Sure Orca is safe place while pilot is logged off in case POS gets blown. Fairly limited space. And Orca is only safer place if you retain ownership of WH. Its pretty obvious why new owners often set up MWD and patrol location where old POS were destroyed for a month or two. Among other measures. But Orca is inventive for your own personal property. Was even nicer when you could suck combat ships into maintenance bays. Heard somewhere you can't do that anymore.

But I personally could not begin to fit the 5-7M m3 of personal property I have at POS into one ship. Yes I am arguing that I should continue to have to pay for the 5-6 hangars needed to store all that instead Fozzie "oh extra volume doesn't count against corp POS needs because its personal stuff" or his possible "you simply can't have more than 40K m3 personal stuff because you really should only use corp equipment and corp supplies at a POS."

Dude. Burning needless and precious server-side CPU cycles. Completely needless, and counter-productive to what we want CCP to be doing - Putting cycles into things that matter.

So you play solo, eh?

I'm thinking from a perspective of if I want to keep any personal items or subsystems to swap (because hooray subsystem swapping!), I'd like to have them available in case of emergency. It doesn't sound like this will be the case, so the PHA isn't going to improve my life there. I'm not worried about someone saving my stuff from destruction -- if I get invaded, I'm throwing everything I have at the invaders. If I have anything left when the POS goes down, the victors take the spoils. That's life. But my personal stock of items won't be available to me if I don't log in before the tower is reinforced.

People evacuate their CHAs when they come under siege not just to save their things, but to keep the use of the items inside. Anything I put in a PHA I am not only writing off in the usual "anything that goes into w-space dies" kind of way, but in the "anything that goes in here will be inaccessible in an emergency". Thus, the important things will have to stay in the CHA. This seems completely backwards to me. Sure, I'll use the PHA for some random junk I have lying around or for quick swapping of items between ships, but I think people are too fixated on "but the carebears want to save their things!" and are forgetting that the defenders need access to their things in order to defend.

Seriously, my only complaint with this is that the PHA as it stands is being introduced without any competitors in utility to make it a real choice of risk and reward. "I may not be able to get those items when I really need them" should not be a necessary tradeoff of "basic quality of POS life improvement from an organizational perspective". If the argument being put forth for making it 100% private is "well you risk that for great reward" then there should be plans in the works for something equally useful for organization with different privacy settings. The unfun way that POSes currently work should not be built into the new system as a tradeoff.



You're assuming a one user per tab model rather than using CHAs as corporate storage. Once your corp is big enough that your loot and corp stock of items (which gets very big very quickly if you're in w-space; see also the fuss kicked up when they imposed a limit on unstacked items in a CHA combined with the inability to repackage things) needs to be carefully sorted, indexed, and have tiered access levels, the one user per tab model leads to ridiculous fuel expenses. Personal storage tends to take place in a tab designated for cans, anchored secure containers, or the items being kept in ship cargo holds. The reason people clamored for personal arrays isn't just for security. It's because keeping everything stored and organized in a POS requires far too much work. The PHA is a step in the right direction, as is the ability to anchor CSMAs in wormholes, but limiting the number of people who can use a single PHA would make its utility even more limited.

Haha... Fozzie past 5 k likes ! :D

.... directors/CEO access is a must!

Fair enough.
however... Even that little bit, multiplied across whoever many players active at their POS'... Still a drain I'd rather see used elsewhere.

Please do!

Everything else announced is spot on. Good luck and happy coding!
