Jita Park Speakers Corner

I don't think that CCP disagrees that POS's need to be redone. From what I've read it seems to be just a couple of things:

1) CCP Doesn't think enough players care. You guys are doing a good job of correcting that here.

2) Will modular POSs bring more NEW players into the game? That's a little harder to say... let's be honest: most players don't even think about setting up a station in their first couple of months. I sure didn't come to EvE for the stations. Stations are a little more complex and require a lot of game knowledge to understand all of their functions... and to set one up you need to read a friggin' phonebook written in Greek. That's a hard sell to a newcomer especially. The real crux of this thread is whether POS's are going to bring in fresh meat or coming out with panda avatars or something will do better.

...that's the last I'll say on this. It's *popcorn* time for me.

Taking a small steps approach would be fine, it need not be the new-shiny fix all... a team Paper-cuts style project for POS's ... but please some progress on them.

+1 POS revamp. I completely gave up on any type of POS management roles either for personal or corp use. After running a POS for about 6 months I told my corp that I would never mess with POS management and fueling again!!! I would rather not play EVE then manage or fuel a POS....granted I was fueling before the fuel block update. But still!!!

I support this notion. +1 for POS revamps

+1 definitely would love to see

I am just some nub in RvB, And even I know that POS's are the most broken thing in the game!

More broken than Capitals!

More broken than Tec!

More broken than off grid boosting!

More broken than minning!

More broken than (insert broken thing here)!


If POS's only effect a small number of players, then why is ther one on every moon within 7 jumps of Jita?


Please make fixing POS's and Corp Management high on the list to fix!

I don't think CCP actually has any idea how many players would be impacted by changes to the POS system.

I'd be curious to hear what the ratio is of POS per active player is. I bet they've never attempted to quantify how many players POS mechanics actually impact.

I am one of them, and I believe a POS rework is long overdue.

Actually, I've shared this story a few times before, but not sure if I've shared it here in the EvE forums yet.

I said no to about a year's worth (or more) of requests from friends and even customers of my RL job to "Come play EvE with me Bro, you'll love it!!!"

to my own personal regret, they were right, I do love it, but that's not what's important in this post, what's important is how the one friend "sold" EvE to me or sold me on EvE. (whichever way makes more sense to you)

We played Navyfield, and we were damn good at it, but, like most MMORPG games, you never got anywhere unless you were at the helm of your ship battling, or in your armor, or riding your steed/mount or whatever and one night my friend said to me "Bill, dude you have to come play this, they have these books that help you learn and if you want to fly a certain ship, you stick this book in your head and learn it, and even better, if that book takes 2 days to learn, you can be logged off for 2 days and come back and you can fly that ship, or use the item the book is for" (as close to verbatim as I can get after all these years)

and that did it for me.. I tried the trial and I was hooked.

Now imagine telling someone the same basic thing, the build your own empire thing and adding, "you can even have your own private house in space complete with a garage, workshop and whatever you want to have..."

I think it would help, for me personally, I would have played a year or more sooner if I had been told that or had the game explained to me in such a way.
