Giddyness has subsided slightly, so I will also bandwagon on the private hangar. I will now paint a pretty picture and illustrate a potential (admittedly edge case) problem.

If Timmy runs out in his covops to get that much awaited Galente Dreadnaught skillbook for his alt Billy, he's got nowhere to put said book when he gets back to securely transfer it. Since Billy is on the same account as Timmy, he's got to jetcan it and hope that his mom doesn't come in and declare bedtime and power off his computer in the interim.

There's no station trading in a POS, so without shared hangars between Billy and Timmy, he's got little other options.

Sure, Billy could have gotten the book in the first place, but regretfully he has no covops skills and has to fly through hostile space to get it.

As it stands now, Billy and Timmy have the same roles for access to one tab, and can easily and effortlessly transfer items between the pilots on the same account. This change looks like it will completely eliminate that ability.



The proposed size is also way too small. It will be fine for ammo and modules, but the miners and ship builders who rely on these mechanics will be left out in the cold.


As has been mentioned, Director and CEO should have take privs. Emergency evac is a way of life when living in wormholes. Even if there is time to CTA for defense/moving, there will always be members who are unable to get back to the wormhole. Being trapped in k-space while your baubles go up in flames is not on anyone's bucket list, methinks.


That said, I applaud the effort and eagerly await the changes.

Nobody said anything about removing the current CHA structures. Those will probably continue to exist in their current state. As I understand it, the new personal hangar will be a different structure entirely and work like a customs office.

Good Read. Been wanting this forever.


I think someone disabled ones ability to like Fozzies posts, I've tried and cannot so i will just say it here... Fozzy, I like you.

Nice stuff,

however the biggest problem related to the limited amount of roles still remains.

I think it's cooler to imagine that they're nanites capable of completely disassembling things at a molecular level, moving them, and reassembling them where they need to be. It's like the Star Trek transporter system, but with cool little intelligent nanites doing the work instead of magical beams that are unlikely to ever exist in reality. What do the nanites do when they're not busy moving anyone's stuff around? Maybe they play Minecraft with molecules, building their own little nanite worlds.

please now increase the volume that assemblies can hold and ill be happy.

oh and make the role rent factory slot work so you don't have to give everyone who uses a pos the ability to cancel every job the whole corp is running

and the fact we have to disconnect silos to take or put stuff inside, please tell me you are going to fix this?

All seem good except the personal Hangar array.

I can see the value of personal ship storage (and I will love it) but I think directors/CEO etc. should be able to remove ships even from personal storage.

Not only will help to empty them when people are kicked/leave corp, as it will keep the corp theft operations rolling.

Corp theft is a big part of EVE; I hate to see it gone, or made harder by mechanics.

Corp theft is a lesson for people that manage poorly the roles allocation.

From the blog post:

"No limit on the number of characters that can use the structure, but storage is limited per character. The exact per-character volume is undecided but we are currently considering a range from 10,000m3 to 40,000m3."

Devs, can we get some clarification on this point? Is there an upper limit to the volume the whole structure can hold? In other words, does the volume of materials stored in it by various characters actually deplete available volume for everyone else? This would clarify whether or not directors/CEO having access to stuff really matters.



If you're a tiny corp, maybe you won't want or need it. If you're a large corp, let the players decide what stuff should be stored in personal hangars and what should be stored in the current CHAs based on their fear of losing stuff to eventual POS destruction. If they want directors to be able to move it, they can put it in their CHA. Otherwise they store it in the personal hangar of their own volition. Choices are a good thing.
