Wormholes

So, most of the wormhole community has been asking and waiting for POS changes to make our lives less difficult. With the introduction of Personal hangers being the first thing we've seen. But, the question remains, just how useful do you think they will prove to be?

Lets assume they're going to be 40k space per user. Does anyone actually think that is a sufficent size? Personally, i could sneeze anything into that and fill it instantly, a single itty 5 haul would fill it. Also, with the SMA staying the same way, many sensible corps will continue to be forced to store expensive assembled ships in their tabs for security. 40k space is barely enough for a single ship.

Personally, i can't see them being very useful if kept at such a tiny size. I really hope CCP makes them alot bigger. Continuing to use corp hangers between 7 players gives you 200k each, 5 times the size of personal hangers, and large arrays are even better still at 2.6mill each, 60 times larger! For industrial corps that mine, PI or rat to large degrees, 40k space is nothing. They will be forced to continue using the old, broken system. (Though i guess the grav site changes killing mining might help with volumes!)

But it's certainly a step in the right direction, and i can see it being useful for members that don't have expensive ships or deal with large volumes of items, and it does allow infinite members per POS rather than just 7. I foresee a new distinction for wormhole players, a seperation between those trusted enough to use a tab in a corp hanger/array, and those relegated to the tiny personal hangers.

Of course it will be useful to some people. It's not going to be that beneficial to everyone but for people that have high value items that don't take up a lot of room, it's ideal. Think of it as an uncrackable safe/lockbox.

It would be nice if one could link the accounts together. For that occasion when you stored a ship under a character and hes in k space with out a way in..and your other characters can find fly the ship needed

There are a few issues that need to be clarified.

Who has access to the CHA?

What happens if the user goes inactive and the CHA needs to be unanchored? Is the stuff protected, and how? And if it is protected, how can it not be exploited?

Honestly I prefer that they shrink the number of people able to use it and boost the cap for each user. Then if you need people storing stuff just anchor more. Personally I'd be happier if they allowed me to anchor cans inside the POS. That would allow more flexibility. I could for example allow allies inside the FF and they could anchor can for their corp.


Still it's a start most of my expensive stuff is pretty small. I'm generally less concerned if someone steals my gas, ore, ammo, and random just in case I need to fit X mods. It's my T3 parts, deadspace mods and nano ribbons. As it is now I have an Orca alt who stores my T3s, dead space mods and high end loot.

Of course it's all mostly meaningless unless we have private space to store a couple of cruisers....

From what I've read before (can't remember where) it's going to be a single module, with infinite space where each character can be allocated up to a certain m3 limit (not announced yet). It's using code borrowed from the POCOs apparently. If a member leaves no one can access their items and they're destroyed when the module is unanchored.

I think they're going to be very handy. Not game-changing or anything, but useful nonetheless. Life will go on just like now, except that we'll be able to park those odds and ends that we'd rather not go into a common tab - skill books, high-value modules, mods that you keep on hand for a quick refit that people keep 'borrowing' from the corp's fitting tab, and so on.

Right so they're here! Personal hangers! Giving you a tiny 50k space, but none-the-less providing a completely safe area for your "stuff". Am i right, however, in that it's completely impossible to transfer things between characters? Doesn't that kind of kill its usefulness?

Does stuff drop outta of these like normal cha? or is it the no drop 'working as intended' sma variety

Then it would not be a personal hangar anymore would it?
