Wormholes

...ooh or forcibly ejected with out the ability to warp for 1 minute

I'd like to add my 2 cents in regards to ship hangars, they should implement an option similar to pos shield passwords, for example, when you wish to dock up it has a popup that asks for a locking password so you can actually password lock your own ships, that should fix the worry of people's expensive ships going missing.

I want CCP to fix permissions for POS mods first and foremost. There really is no excuse for the ****-poor system that CCP has in action right now.

Docking in the WH.. No.

I really like the idea of a ship access code or password to board. But wonder if that's an unrealistic mess of code. Increased security would be great. Just keep the hamfisting to a minimum

Or cleaning sites on one side of the system while the germans that came to farm you went to the other side to pve some more and are too lazy/incompetent to clean after each site while they are in their static...

My laundry list:

• Manageable. Tower access ('docking') and service (fuel, hangar access, lab/assembly array, reactor/silo, tower management) permissions should be flexible enough to allow multi-alliance joint ops, out-of-corp alts, and complex multi-tier corporate permission schemes to be accommodated without violating "least necessary privilege", having the tower try to go off and blap one of your friends, or resorting to password-based access control (since the latter can't not suck due to cluster architecture limitations).
• Modular and unitary (i.e. everything "snaps together" instead of having anchored mods floating out in the middle of space, looking lonely). Stick and bubble is the root cause of a variety of logistical (having to use a hauler simply to move things around inside your own starbase) and even RP/PF (wait, what, just how do my crewmen hop from SMA to SMA again?) issues.
• Vulnerable. We don't need TCU-like hitpoint sponges showing up all over our holes; also, this'd be a good time to add a mechanic for forcibly unanchoring offline towers (to avoid "tower boneyards"; also, such a mechanic could add a new dimension to the idea of 'full moon control'). Of course, turret, launcher, and electronic warfare batteries should be targetable/destroyable independently of the main starbase; being able to independently attack industrial equipment (reactors, silos, assembly arrays) could be used to add some more flavor to the picture.
• Defendable. Tower defense permissions should be flexible enough to handle the needs of NRDS, NBSI, or NFDS entities, irrespective of the size of your contact list, as well as those special-cases and exceptions that inevitably crop up. It should still be possible to man starbase defenses, and shield capacity should be allowed to scale with the amount of starbase you are dealing with, up to a sensible limit to avoid what I talked about in the previous point (I don't want to try to bash 20 TCU-sized sponges in a C2).
• Scalable. Additional reactor, processing, or hangar capacity should be able to be 'added on' at any time simply by adding appropriate modules; the same holds for reaction chains, refineries, labs, defenses, ... (up to a maximum that varies by the type of space; you shouldn't be able to build the same size fortress in a C1 as you do in C6 space or LS, while 0.0 bases would be able to grow larger yet)
• Semi-dockable. A "docking gantry" system where the ship is retained outside the starbase while docking, but is protected by the base shields would provide a nice balance between the intel requirements of W-space (being able to see what the enemy has on the field but not get trivial ganks off of starbase occupants) and the wish to provide starbases with access to WiS features (Tarunik would love to have a proper quarters and office to work with *whistles innocently*) without breaking the world for starbase-resident supercaps (or making scaps dockable in stations, which'd be its own can o' worms). For balance purposes, an "outside the starbase" view would be required (stick camera(s) outside, have them render to the main screen in our Captains' Quarters?).
• More functional. Repackaging items, reconfiguring/assembling Strategic Cruisers, and reprocessing items (modules/ships/...) should all be possible from within the new starbases. The permissions improvements should also be leveraged to make the new starbase system useful in LS/0.0 for supercapital storage; might make life less soul-crushing for those way-too-rich nullbears if they can actually put their Nyx or Aeon away for a while and go enjoy flying a Guardian on a roam, for instance.

Good to know and looking forward to reading about it

What's your own stance on the "dockable" aspect of POS as it pertains to hiding online players from curious eyes?

We need something like that right now.

POS are a shame to EVE Online.

I see a considerable risk that the POS overhaul could go the same way as the inventory overhaul: Something that was working but inadequate is replaced with something that has a lot of good ideas in it but also so many faults that people hate it with a burning rage, to the surprise of well-meaning devs.

A new POS that completely hides docked players would be such a thing. When docked in a station, one is completely safe and separated from the outside universe. That is not something we should desire to have in w-space.

Imho POSes need only a few adjustments:
-access to all structures from anywhere inside the force field, no slowboating around anymore to get to the right SMA
-much more granular security settings and more compartments in hangars and especially SMAs
-ability to repackage

To address the long-term WiS problem, there could simply be a button to enter your captain's quarters or whatever (located inside the tower), but your piloted ship would still be floating inside the forcefield visible to everyone.

Tbh, I could live with the current POS system another year if we got alliance bookmarks first. Fuel blocks and changes to anchoring timers made a lot of my hate for POS gameplay disappear already.
