Science & Industry

Ok, to say this briefly.

Our Corp has a POS and we have a Corp Hangar Array. We have more than 20 corpmates but we need to have a personal hangar for each member inside the array, the limit is 7, WHY ???? How dificult is this to have more?

Any work arounds ? (Dont tell me to warp to the station)
Putting Containers inside the array is not the idea. But can we insert freight containters and take them out without issues?

Or everyone uses its own industrial ship for personal stuff and stores it in the ship hangar.

what would that solve, if you've got access to 1 Corp Hangar array then surely you've got access to ALL Corp Hangar Arrays.



It's been an issue for ever, and as Tau says, they're looking at it, but don't hold your breath. Starbase stuff doesn't need a minor tweak, it needs nuking with a very big nuke and starting again. But I fear they won't listen to the people who use them and do what they feel like.

There isn't a good secure solution for having stuff in space if you've not got a station you can get to, only a couple of bodges that people have come up with...

Alts in industrials that you log in and get your stuff out of, (very messy, and needs more than one account)

Anchoring GSC's inside the pos field, and you set your own password (Not an ideal solution, 3,900 m3 per can isn't much storage)

Are a couple of bodges, not great solutions, but short of everyone having carrier alts so you can dock your stuff in there.

One thing I would love to see is the option to turn off E-Warp when you log in, say on a timer, so if you've been out of the game for a few hours, give you the option to cancel it, that would be very nice so your ship didn't warp 10000000000 gazillion KM away from the pos and back again before you can use it. But that's another thing :)

POS stuff is really FUBAR.

We anchor multiple CHAs and give everyone a tab. If powergrid is an issue, you have to online and offline as needed. We also use multiple CHA for added security. Access to each individual CHA can be set to "corp", "starbase fuel tech" or "config starbase equipment". Thus, you have some control over who can access whos gear. Helps mitigate theft. We do the same access thing with the Ship Maintenance Arrays.

Sometimes I think CCP likes to keep this stuff simple and FUBAR so-as to enable corp theft and drama.

I'm really hoping CCP takes a good hard look at individual asset security with the new POS revamp, which it sounds like they are, but CCP has made implications before that never came to fruition.

Best idea I've heard is the station containers. Rename them and assign one to each corp member and then assign them each a password. If its for ore buyback, do no password and have it drop in only.

Best solution: Private POS hangers unlimited space and transfers has to be done through the traditional arrays. Unlimited number just like in stations. What's the issue?

Inside the corp we have miners so, if we all mine diferent, some will get more and some will get less than what they earned if we deposit it all to a "mining" tab inside the Corp Hangar. So, yes a big container with each member's name which mines is usefull but will take too much space because it uses the entire m3.
We really need to have something done here. Say, for example a WH corp goes to a WH, and they got miners, how would someone distinguish from each others ores?

I also though of a Silo but that thing uses so much freaking powergrid as to the m3 cargo that it provides. so thats a no go. having each member a POS is stupiditly ridiculous.

Silos are useless for storing anything that doesn't need to feed or be drawn from a reactor or mining array. For serious storage (beyond the pitiful 1.4 million cubic meters of a corp hangar array) use a large ship assembly array. If you don't need to build T1 ships use an advanced large ship assembly array, which costs the same but holds slightly more.

As for controlling access, I have no good answers. You can give players individual POS's or divide them into small groups each sharing a POS, with access restricted by forcefield password. A horrible nuisance, yes, but about the best that can be done with current game mechanics.

The bottom line: don't give people access to your POS storage unless you really, really trust them... and even then, assume some asshat will throw a ragefit and steal the corp blind eventually.
