EVE General Discussion

This was the original design idea of Titans, but CCP discovered that the way the server works means that if you try to dock a ship in a ship the universe divides by zero and then it's GAME OVER, MAN.

I will assume this is an innate database build design limit and we'll not see a "ship" that can ever act as a starbase.

We need something like this for wormholes, otherwise WHs will never have the nomadic lifestyle that CCP hoped they would.

Edit: I also support this as a K-space thing too of course :D

That was my exact point in the F&I forum.

A mobile station is pretty much the text book definition of a Mother Ship in almost any SciFi series you can name.

If you design it as a POS that it just so happens can jump (and "possibly" move or warp incredibly slowly) instead of designing it as a ship that has POS or Outpost like functionality, that would be ideal.

The problem was that the guy docking the ship was running MacOS.

We all know what happened in "Independence day" when Pod Pilot Jeff Goldblum docked his ship in the mother ship.

48 hour spool up time to launch a tower to another system is epic funny. What happens if they chose a free moon, but in those 48 hours someone puts up a tower at the destination?

PHYSICS SAY NO

I Say BRING ON THE EXPLODSIONS

indeed... whoes to say that in the future a pos will have to be put at a moon?

there are plenty of other celestials you could park it in...

I want POS to be removed and replace with really slow ships that can depoly much like the mining capital ship.

When deployed they get increaded fences via a reinforcement timer. Also many modules would only be useable while deployed. But then we should be able to un deploy them into a mobile version with 20m/s speed *deep space 9 anyone?* The timer to depoly and un depoly should be around 12 hours. About the same length as the reinforcement timer.

Also they should be affordabe. I want small medium and large mtherships. maybe each having a different refiefrocement timer and depoly times.

When in mobile mode if you dock with them you should able to use them like any other normal ship. Plus graphical they could work like V3 ships. With new parts adding on as you equip them.

Finally while mobile these stations, or other ship should be able to cyno at will with a special cyno that only large ships can carry and depoly. During combat they could be docked with so people could lose thier ship, dock with thier personal mothership in battle and undock in a new ship.

If you risk the station in battle there is no reinforcement timer. And if destroyed everything inside is lost forever. Everyone should have thier own person mothership to bring with them into battle. !

Alternatively you're one of many who bring this up every couple of months, and you just havent spotted the plethora of Pos rework threads that basically suggest 1 of 3 things.

Nothing is ever impossible when you write the code.

Read a bit further. POS will be deployable almost anywhere.

There are a lot of problems with your mothership idea within the context of the POS revamp. One of the goals is to give people their own little home outside of stations. No matter how you work it, a mothership is fundamentally a personal asset. Yah you can allow others to rummage through the corp hanger, when the mothership pilot is logged in... but it's not always there when you need it and the corp as a group can't really do much with it. Having your POS stuck in one place for 48 hours makes it vulnerable, too. A mothership just wouldn't scale properly. I think, from what I've read of the CSM minutes, that CCP and the CSM are on the right track.
