I recall reading in the CSM meeting minutes something about a revision to the current approach to POSs.

The points that caught my eye were:
-- Can be owned by individual players
-- Personalized to reflect a sense of home
-- Anchorable just about anywhere
-- Streamlined anchoring mechanic

I haven't seen much information on that since, although I could have missed it.

Anyone know what's up with this? I think those changes would be most excellent.

Here's some changes I'd like to see:

1. Being able to actually dock and live in your POS full-time. (A hab module that has a "captain's quarters" would be cool.)
2. Being able to repair/repackage ships and modules.
3. Unification of manufacturing types into one module (modules, drones, and ammo). I don't see the sense in having so many different kinds of mfg modules.
4. A less nasty management interface.
5. Instead of having three control towers (small, med, large), simply allow powergrid and CPU to be upgraded via modules. Increased CPU/grid means increased fuel consumption.

1. Shouldn't happen. This would destroy the value of station eggs.
2. Sure why not.
3. Rather than this I'd like to see pos that lets you link various modules that do this.
4. Yes please.
5. I'm neutral on this.

As far as 1 is concerned, you have a point but the ability to personalize and inhabit a POS really does need to happen.

Now if that means that certain things are only really practical to do in an Outpost, so be it.

New POS won't be until spring/winter 2013 at the earliest.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

That's good to know - thank you.

Do you know what the changes will include?

In which case perhaps they can be influenced by cogent and reasonably presented suggestions.

Alternatively, they could look to the forums. :)

What has been seriously discussed is:

1: Modular. Able to build in different capabilities or make those capabilities better by adding more components.
2: Part of a single structure that interlocks rather than independent from each other, think Lego's.
3: Ability to personalize. Can be owned by an individual instead of a corporation.
4: Included captains quarters, possibly other area's if developed at that time.
5: No force fields.
6: Ships dock like at a station/outpost.
7: Anchor-able in many more locations in a system.
8: Able to anchor more than one in a given area, perhaps form communities or encampments of POS's in the same area.
9: Fueling to work differently, be less difficult. Easier to maintain.
10: Far, far down the line perhaps even somewhat mobile.

They are just entering the concept stage, so obviously nothing has been set in stone or developed yet, and many of these idea's are very ambitious, but they seem pretty set on redoing the whole concept.

You know, I've actually been sticking my nose in there lately... since they have been discussing the details of the ship re-balance in there.

Good job!

Now give them your feedback in the GD forums, where it'll be easily noticed among the random trash and badposting that goes on around these parts.

I think 'growing' a structure to be specific to the inhabitants would be best. Let players decide if they want it to function more closely to a station or more towards a deep outpost with defenses, and of course everything in between. Both destructible in their own way.

They spoke of letting POs have a jump drive. But to have it jump takes time.

#1 isn't a bad idea even if does crash eggs in the process. Switching over to destroyable stations needs to happen, however CCP has been reluctant to change normal stations over for various good reasons, so making POSs into mini-destructible stations will help that..

Was in the CSM notes as an idea, nothing concrete. Feel free to go find it amongst the crap.
