My enthusiasm for Eve was sapped the moment I read the minutes and saw what Jon said about POSes. The real kick in the teeth is how they :

1. Say that they don't want to do major theme releases

2. Bundle POSes into a major theme for sov redesign

3. Say that they can't redo POSes because it's too much work for one theme

Well, gee, maybe the answer is to NOT bundle POSes into a sov redesign, genius!

Sadly, I think modular POSes are the first causality in Eve as a result of Dust. Massive resources are now going to be tied into integrating Dust into a sov rework. That would be fine with me if it wasn't at the expense of a feature they've been teasing us about for the last year.

This kind of damn-the-torpedoes approach of not listening to what the players want is almost Hilmarian.



Im really hoping they don't intend to make sov hinge on a bunch of 12 year olds calling eachother f@%%ots on a console peasant game. It would be less than ideal to lose because retards can't win at FPS. Of course, this is only my opinion, but it better not hinge on them, because we are the gods of space

The theme of the next expansion should be about Empires, or Empire building. Make (low-level) POS easier to attain and run for newbies and small corps.

If not, at least do something for POS in the upcoming expansion.

Please upgrade the tents I use to campers. Eve is about collaboration and the current POS system makes collaboration very difficult.

You never fail to disappoint, you say to us that you understand why we need these improvement to poses and why its important and then you turn around and tell us to **** off, we are not important. Excellent CCP, thank you very much

POSes don't affect a lot of players at this moment but I can assure CCP that everyone and their mom will want to have a modular POS of their own out in space if the changes do go through. This totally justifies any resources spent on overhauling the POS system imo.

The very concept of POS is actually the single most important enabler of "giving players the tools to build their own space property".

You can build stations, and they cannot be destroyed, so in a way, they betray the harvest>build>destroy three-legger we've learned to think about EVE.

Only the POS is the real home among the stars so many devblogs and trailers blabbered about.

Fix the most glaring problems, and put in line a solid rework of it. It's one of the few mechanics shared among all four game zones (hi, low, null, wh), and cause untold amount of burn out.

I'm not in logistics or supercap building anymore but I still want POS to be my home away from outpost.

Make it happen CCP!

What is this madness CCP speak of.

POS's are in dire need of some love. The only reason it is a small number of people using POSes currently, is because they are such a ball-ache to set up in the first place.

Not to mention, they are necessary for everyone who wants to manufacture/research anything. As there is nowhere near enough manufacture/research slots in HS.

You could also have easily given us small tweaks for the old system, while you worked on the old one. I mean a small and simple bit of coding that allowed us to queue the anchoring and online of POS modules, so that we don't have to sit at the screen watching the online timer for over 6 hours.

You talk about great expansions like Apocrypha and wormholes, but you don't look after them after that. POSs are essential for WHs, and therefore it is almost impossible to recruit new players for corps as you can't trust them with access to anything (and so they can't live in your WH).

If you want expansions that inspire the same awe as Apocrypha. Maybe have it so that you can put up stations in WHs, and maybe also get sovereignity (or something similiar). Personally, I like the idea of nullsec, but I would never go participate in it, as I don't like local chat giving you away (damn tengu care bears warp back to there POSs to hide whenever you enter their system), and I don't like stargate mechanics as well as the stupid-pointless docking games.

TLDR: Fix POSes.

Current POS mechanics are rubbish, if you do POS work in this game you literally hate yourself. (GSOL represent!)

Seriously how the **** do you sort out priorities, you spend ages doing walking in stations (biggest load of crap ever), then just turn around out of no where and just say pos arent used by many so lets not do anything about them even though you have been promising for ages about redoing them.

Do you just randomly assign ideas numbers from 1 to 20, blind fold some one and just ask them to randomly hurl darts at a dart board in order to figure out what you will do next, and if you miss the dartboard you just randomly do something to **** the player base off. cos thats how it seems to me.

Infact i might just go ask twosteps if he saw any darts boards at ccp offices when he was there.

Sort pos's out god damn it.

Have kept my subscription ticking over learning skills and was awaiting the POS changes before coming back. Will definitely reconsider my 2 x £9.99 pcm now.
