What was more important than fixing poses?
What would affect a larger playerbase than fixing poses?
What have you dedicated some portion of resources to, that might have otherwards gone toward expiditing a pos fix?

DUST 514. They don't want to take the Dust team and put them to work on EVE POSes.

We're confusing things a little bit in this thread:

- Fixing the POS game mechanic, adding security, making a nice user interface, whatever, that's doable, and they never refused to do that (eventually).

- Coding new station modules that you can walk inside of, which is what the original "Modular POS" idea was, requires all the art and animation guys that are currently working on DUST. They cannot take those guys away from DUST.

What I'd really like (VERY LOW PRIORITY!) is an in-game mechanism whereby I can hack into it and take it over - Squatting in someone else's derelict tower seems kinda like a fun opportunity to get some pew-pew going on.

That's easy
Codebreaking, since each POS has a small power source that runs the computer that starts the reaction when there's fuel in it.
if you "hack" the POS's computer (which is online because of that start-up power source) you can rewrite it's software to recognize you/your corp as the new owner and accept your commands.
It would require hacking specialization (new skill book) and at minimum a Tech 2 codebreaker and the chances of success would still be low.
it would only work on offlined POSes in WH space because there's no access to the communications beacons there, so the Tower wouldn't be able to authenticate/deny your commands remotely and once you put fuel in it to bring it online, it would configure itself fully to your command codes and if someone came back?, well, they'd have to fight for it i'd think.

short version of course

Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal. Perception is unique in that it can be shared or singular. Run with the pack if you wish, but think for yourself. A sandwich can be a great motivator.

This is a pretty broken way of doing things, I think. At least, they should only base it mainly on the CEO's and/or Directors' standings and make a skill like Diplomacy mollify the effect of corp members standings.

My corp CEO toon has SOV to 3 or 4 at the moment, I'd have absolutely no problem training "Corporate Diplomacy" on him and then updating the corp with his skills to achieve better "corp" standings with the factions even though some of the members` standings aren't that great.

Please fight for the modular pos, I believe a lot more people are affected by pos's than they admit. Full support for the long promised pos changes. An expansion dedicated just to pos's sounds great to me.

With the population of players finally growing to a respectable amount, as in I can recruit WoW players with out getting laughed at. I got to say its a bit overdo. I personally just got back into the game, tried it 6 years ago and wasn't happy with the rough start. Right now with out POS, the idea of doing profitable production is just a joke, 20-60 day research ques are the biggest reason I am trying to get access to my alliances's POS.

Its just sad to think about how many new players there are out there using unrehearsed BPOs, especially since most don't realize if they sold their building mats they would make quite a bit more isk, with out that research.

You are asking for too much. What you want would require input from at least three of their teams, who seem to work together like oil and water do.

Suppose they just fix the interface first?

Doesn't this sort of CCP denialism harken back to the days of Pre Incarna and the hubris of CCPs lead designer? I find it troubling. Summary of EvEs last four expansions: http://imgur.com/ZL5SM33

Lets try playing nice until the planning process is done, to start with.

What about soliciting ideas from the playerbase to aid in the planning process? Or is it already far too late for that?

Specifically, addressing issues raised by CCPs Gargant and Seagull:

Do we put modules inside or outside? (both!)
Where do we start? (e.g.: shoebox in space: just an anchorable place where we can "dock")
Where to go from there? (e.g.: personally anchorable shoebox, then start working on revamped access controls that apply only to modular starbases)

Even the appearance of having some contribution to the discussion may be enough to turn people from "damn, they're abandoning POSes" to "hooray! they're working on POSes!"
