Feature : Allow POS Managers setup weapon groups for POS modules.


- Allow POS defense handle 1 weapon group as if 1 weapon, as opposed to 5 weapons max right now. So 5 groups of 8 weapons should be manageable by 1 pilot under this feature.


- No item limit , allow all POS guns configured into 1 group if they are the same exact type.

- Allow non gun/missile modules to be grouped as well , i.e. scrams/disruptors/neuts/webs

I could see being able to stack like weapons, but it still counts against your 5 gun control limit per char. Otherwise you would really only need 1 character to defend a POS if it's setup as a deathstar.

1 Stack to point
1 Stack to web
1 Stack to Alpha

So yeah, that would be too OP if the stacked weapons counted only as 1.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

Why would it be OP?

As is, you already have 1 player controlling multiple accounts to defend a POS. This just even the playing field for those without multiple accounts vs those who do... or free up those extra accounts to do more interesting things.

So you want CCP to make this a feature so they make less money due to fewer subbed accounts?

What should happen is getting rid of the million guns in space, and making of 'defence arrays' that are a battlestation that floats outside the shield which you fit guns & tank to. So that you don't have a million objects in space.
Small tower might get 2. Medium 3, Large 4 for example. They have their own fittings separate from the tower.

And change the POS Gun skill to give them some kind of bonus but allow control of 1 only.
Co-ordination should always be encouraged.
