Wormholes

Mmm... so not only am I now facing the likelyhood of waking up one morning to find my BMW, the purpose and product of working my hands to the bone, has been stolen and replaced with a Crysler, now I also have to keep living in a smelly, leaky storage shed with 4 other guys who cant keep their paws off my stuff???

W T F.

Edit : More and more I think this "spork" approach to poses is the problem. They need to stop making one thing do two things. Give us one mechanism for industry/living space and something completely separate for sov.

Only affect the group that manages POSes?
Bullshit. it affects anyone who lives at a pos.

That is not a small group. It includes most people in wormholes and a large number of people in null. It even affects some people in HS who are running indy POSes. Beyond that, an improvement could help industry everywhere. imagine being able to sell ME slots to the masses in HS.


CCP spent time to revamp Bounty Hunting. They need to revamp a much more important system: POSes. They have said on multiple occasions they are going to do it, so they need to actually step up and deliver.

Seems like theyre flipping the bird to everyone who lives in a POS when they decided that fixing/replacing the broken, antiquated POS system wont actually help people that live in POSes. How's that for logic?

Right, cuz kicking the can down the road works so well.....

Wow, how completely disappointing that it is their view that POS shittiness only affects those that have to smash their face into a brick wall when they build them. What i find even more disappointing is the minutes show that Two Step did not step up more at this point and explain how POS's affect more than just POS operators.

They affect our whole way of life and our ability or lack thereof to grow in WH space because of the crappy platforms we have been forced to live off.

WH space forgotten yet again....

But to say nothing at all and to be a lot more vocal in other areas of the minutes is well disappointing to say the least.

CCP pulling this crap and changing their mind is pretty ****** but i would have had a lot more respect for Two Step if he ballsed up at this point, he didn't.

I've been waiting years for upgraded POS mechanics. The current system is a nightmare! Living out of a POS is truely a challenge, especially if you are looking to have more than a small number of players. Though the discussions of the removal of the POS shield altogether (for reasons they were unwilling to explain!) kind of changed my mind on the subject. All i wanted was a "station-like" system, where players had seperate and individual tabs. Even something as simple as making a new structure that it has storage individual to each player, or changing the current structures to do the same. I never thought docking would be something that should be possible at a POS, they seemed to suggest that it might be a good idea.

These suggested changes to the POS mechanics seemed drastic and far-reaching, and certainly didn't seem to me to be something they could slap together in a short space of time. It's almost as if they imagined what they ultimately wanted POS' to be like far down the line in the distant future. Meanwhile, we're all left just wanting a simple and fast solution that makes things simpiler.

I guess i'll just have to wait some more years.

Those of you going to the next fanfest bring it up! Don't let CCP sit back and just dictate to the CSMs let them know that the EVE WH players want new POSs and it's not a small group. This really is bullshit.

This is an important point. Just because only a small percent of people actively manage and set up poses doesn't mean it isn't something that effects a much larger player base.

All wormholers live in poses and have to deal with the restrictions on a daily basis. Hi-sec/low-sec indy people deal with it every day. Pirates in low-sec use them, as do ratters in null. Titian bridges, moon mining.

Frankly if poses were "Done right", I'd expect more people to use them. Many people want to have a "star base", or a place to call home, but are driven away by the pure shittyness that poses are today.

I am more pleased that they are looking seriously at doing it right rather than a major cluster tossed out as a bone that everyone chokes on.
