Wormholes

Still too subtle?

Edit:


You can always do a workaround to get a similar effect. Brainstoming is always good. Like the docking ring could be a par of the station that while you are in a ship you get to pla with he dscan and all that, and you can even undock inside the docking ring...., somany desing options....

I didn't really want to have a tit for tat argument with you when your so happy to edit your posts to suit yourself, but if that's how you win at the interwebs i really must try harder at edits.

I personally think that's kind of balanced already. If someone lives in a c1 then yes, attackers have a hard time because they can't swarm in battleships, but thats balanced by the fact that the residents live in a c1 - with less isk and more random traffic which wont hesitate to take the time out from their search for kspace to shoot the mining barge or lone drake doing pve




Even though this would kind of go against what I just said about the little bit of "balance" I think it brings (at least with regards to lower class wormholes - 0.0, hisec, etc is a different story) I still support it just because it's always bugged me that the bullets and missiles glide right through this giant shield and happily pound the actual structure.

POS are only as good as their owners, if the owners can't fit or utilize the pos well, then the pos will not do much to save you.

If someone wants to destroy your pos, they will destroy it, unless you can man up a fight to stop them.

1) don't tease me with being docked and seing the grid at the same time...

it make think about the eve forever 1 or the sansha trailer, where there was windows on the stations... and that would be so great... this itself would give an use to CQ : it's like forcefield, but it's nicer, safer and easier to manage.

what I would really like about docking on the POS, would be the ability to see our ship interior, like we were not inside the POS, but inside our ship, but outside our pod.
art devs will hate me, but hell that I would like this...

2) concerning the issues on docking games... W-space have a specificity that don't happen elsewhere ; you can easily jump back (you're on range of WH when jumping), but you can't do it too much due to timer.
something like that could be done for docking ; you can dock and undock once, but if you do it again you can't, you have to wait a bit.
if someone can't undock/redock during a few minutes when he already did it, then the game end ; cause if the guy is docked, he's here for a while, and if he's undocked, either he'll die, or fight and win, but he can't avoid the combat anymore nor make the others camp rage... except if they have bad tacklers of course, but that is a fair game.

3) also concerning pos location outside moons and so on...
currently you don't need to probe a pos to find where it is.
i never used probes to find a pos.
and always use d-scan to find his moon location, we only need to be able to do the same on the new system.
so either the pos need to be on a celestial, either it create a beacon on space.
being forced to use probes to find an enemy pos is too much.

just think about very big system where you can have 100au without any celestial... hey just put 10 pos on a grid here and you're safe for eternity... 99% of people passing by will never know there's a pos on the system... this is too much and must be forbidden.

Idea for compromise.

You want us to dock we might be able to deal with but leave a force field around the pos just a smaller one. Say around 7500m. This allows for a safe undock within the shields so can then scan system before go out in the open. Diminish the force fields hp but add a warning of some kind for people docked that the Force field is down so they can decide if want to undock. This would solve all the docking games while still allowing new added features to pos's. As for seeing inside a pos what about a new probe type for that so that you could scan down number and type of ships inside a pos but remember you would also need a module for pos that does same as probe so balances for both sides.

The idea of multiple undocking areas is another that if incorporated to the first idea would then allow people inside a chance at undocking after shields go down.

I personally love the modular pos idea. Here are couple things ay want to consider.
Instead of tower being center change it to the generator and use a new expanded corp hanger as center of modular pos. This will allow 2 bonuses. One is corp hanger would have to be a lot larger adding room for 20 separate member hangers of around 200K each. Two you could then remove storage from assembly arrays and labs and just have them take directly from the 5 remaining corp hangers inside the newly reconfigured corporate storage array.

You asked for sugestions for changes to pos's so one more thing.
If i can create modules that alter cpu and power grid output on a ship by lessening the opposite why can i not build a pos module that does simaler. This would allow corps to talor pos's to thir needs instead of current where you are stuck with only what on hand.

With these ideas added in a more station like pos would be nice but please don't forget a repair shop!!!!!!!!!!!!

As to pos's anchored anywhere, you are just asking for full scale war over every asteroid belt in galaxy. Every corp will want to anchor pos's close as possible to the belts and will cause so many wars that will make all industry almost impossible.

What if the ship docked can be seen at all times but will always tell if an active player is using it? What about that you can remain docked while inside the ship instead being walking in the station and you can use dscan and ship scanner as you inside ff? The chages could be like the ones in station between captain quarters and ship hangar. While in quarters, the former. While in ship hangar the latter.
Random thoughts

My thought on this:

GIVE STATIONS WINDOWS

I must be missing something in all the whining and complaining about docking games and high sec station camping...

Who the **** cares?

W-Space is the wild west of EvE. There are no rules. There is no Concord. There are no faction stations.
If I'm docked in a station in W-Space, then chances are my corp or myself owns that station. Therefore, I have complete control of all the weapon systems installed on that station. If there is some pathetic window licker trying to camp my docking bay then I'm just gonna vaporize the idiot and move on...
