Suggestion for "online Queueing" for POS modules

Here is just a suggestion I thought of. sense putting up a POS is a multiple hour job. and you can only turn on a module one at a time, ensuring that the person who is doing the on-lining has little else to do as they have to be back there at the control tower every few minutes to online another module.

well my suggestion is that you use the same kind of technology for skill queuing and apply it to Control Towers, and POS modules. so once they are anchored, you can queue them so the control tower will online them one at a time up dependent on a queue you populate. allowing the person on-lining the POS to do other things while the clock ticks down for the control tower modules to come online.

It is a Pita to sit around für 1-4 h, just to anchore / online those ******* Modules. It is just wasted time.

Good idea, but I believe CCP stated they wouldn't impliment this as they wanted it to be a risk vs reward factor and so someone has to be online to set it up rather than queue everything and log off or go and do something else.

well the risk would increase in my opinion in most situations as if you were leaving it unattended while the queue was onlining a enemy force might stumble upon it and use that opportunity to attack the POS before everything was onlined and if you were not paying attention then you would lose your POS or have damaged modules.
