I am all for Modular Poses. Gave my opinion in many threads, sites or blogs. And what i see is that lot of players are asking for it.
It d be first step in personal customization, housing.

But i want to ask a question which is a bit worrying.

Are u ready to give up on 1 year of EVE development (imagine 2 more expansions as Retribution) for a single feature (important one tough) as POSes are?

Personally i might be even up for Modular POSes but is a tough one.

Yes.

It hardly is "givining up development" to develop one of the most crucial and at the same time most infuriatingly broken part of the game.

Also, this is the thread(naught) to voice your support. Be polite, be constructive, be firm.

I don't care if nothing else get done in 2013 (continuing tiericide and small fixes excepted), if at the end we have a working, scalable POS system.

Yes. The potential is great, if done correctly.

YES I would be. I think they would be huge for the game. Especially if they empowered more players to have a POS.

I don't think anybody said anything about a full year, but a full expansion cycle yes.

In which case my answer is yes, I'm willing to wait longer for all of the other stuff that needs to be iterated and fixed (yes, even including sov) for a POS revamp.

Yes.

But they're specifically not doing that. The new development style calls for releases that cover a range of features aimed at all or at least most of the different play styles. I still can't figure out why so many think that there's only one person working at CCP doing all the development and that all resources need to be dedicated to a single task there.

There was an interview or it was an article where was said that the basic feature would be doable in 1 expansion but another one d be needed for completing it.

If CCP introduced a modular POS system that had better security features for corp use and member interaction and you could anchor them in places besides moons, more corps would use them and more players would be apt to put them up.

I would give up 2 years of development or any type of new release if they could get his done and get it done right, I am 100% behind a new modular POS system and new POS interaction/use.

The fact that it sounds like they are going to abandon this venture as talked about in previous CSM meetings is very disconcerting and deflating and makes me question any further long term commitment to this game as that is what I have been looking forward too ever since they mentioned it. I was very sad reading that Cry

CCP said they were concerned with it only touching a small part of the players... Yet if they were to follow their own ideas laid out in their first modular pos CSM discussion about personal ownership and planting them anywhere, wouldn't that have been a striving goal for just about anyone?

Yes. Its together with ring mining one of the current most important topics. It will also attract a lot of new players when done and done properly.

There is no way this should take a year. It is pretty clear CCP is not in favor of a POS revamp. I am sure this large 1 year number was given solely to convince people it is not worth it.

Yes, I would be willing to sacrifice a year worth of major new features. I assume that during this development time smaller ongoing initiatives like tiericide will continue.
