I realize that you guys are doing the whole Indi overhaul now and I think this would be a perfect time to do a major overhaul on POS installation, setup, etc.

I mean in my opinion the entire POS system is probably the oldest part of EVE, set up is terrible, etc.

I think it needs a complete overhaul.

These ideas that were in the commonly proposed ideas area should definitely be looked at. And with some of the mechanics we already have that have been developed over the previous expansions and what you are doing now with the UI should fit into this well.

Below are links to the more in depth ideas that were in the old forums but I couldn't find anything in the new forums.

POS Improvements

The 4th post in the commonly proposed ideas thread has a lot of others that I think would be cool.

Commonly Proposed Ideas Thread


I think there were some great ideas in there that can be tweaked and will fit into this whole summer industrial expansion you guys are doing.

I love some of the ideas where the POS is somewhat like a ship and has a fitting screen and looks like an actual small station that the look changes depending on what is fitted with the same idea as T3 cruisers. and then adding all of the UI changes you are doing with the rest of the Industry UI. And how awesome would it be to have like a Fighter/bomber hanger that was part of your defenses that deployed them automatically.

Personally I have been playing since 2006 and have never really gotten into POS's so I researched it all and started doing it recently and it was almost completely alien as to how the rest of the game as far as the UI goes and was probably the most tedious thing I have ever done in EVE.

Hopefully you have something planned out already!

Pretty sure that we're never going to see improvements to the existing POS's outside of small balance tweaks. My impression is that they are just going to unscramble the old POS code to the point where it can be safely removed (the best description I've read is that eve is coded in a sort of inverted triangle, with POS's being the point at the bottom everything is balanced on) and then create a new system based entirely on the new code being developed for deployables.

Requires rewrite of EVE.

Im sure they could figure out something without having to "Rewrite EVE", Yea something like the new mobile structures but just way more in depth.
