To Hek with the people unwilling to take risk (hello? wormholes? pure risk?), but if you're looking for a reason to give CEO/director access to personal hangar, it's to prevent a situation where an average member can do something that a CEO/director can't. Stuff can be stolen from existing CHAs, yes, but anything that's anywhere in any POS module can be accessed by the CEO/directors. Making a POS module where a trolling thief can put other people's stuff (taken from CHA, lab, assembly array, whatever) and deny them access to it, and a CEO/director can't touch it either, would be a new vulnerability.

At that point, from the system you describe, the only way to even have a chance of getting that "stuff" back would be to offline the tower and blow up the personal hangar array and hope for the best. Ew.

Fair point but not everyone has an Orca alt or would be willing to commit an Orca to a wormhole they intend to rob. What Kennesaw is laying out is a way anyone could easily instigate asset deprivation.

True that there's no new threat, merely an extension and convenience factor to an existing one. I just don't like the idea of there being something in a POS I manage that I can't manage.

Again: move the crap to a customs office. They're just general storage floating in space that you can put anything you like into. Edited: This isn't true, as pointed out by Oreamnos Amric. Thanks for the correction, good sir. (Suggested that one can still use GSCs for asset denial).

Also, who needs to move an Orca or any such thing into a WH in order to rob them? You just train up your character(s) to be able to fly an Orca/all the freighters/carriers and you steal one of those too. Why go small in your theft when you can nab a 1.5 billion ISK freighter or even more disgustingly expensive carrier if that's what you're infiltrating a corp to do? Also, don't most people just strip every ship they can of valuable modules and self destruct all the ones they can't easily move for the insurance?

I'm no corp thief, but I can certainly think like one, and have read enough posts on heists committed in the past to get the gist of how those guys operate. It's called "casing the joint." In real life heists, people figure out what they can easily take with them and plan to do that quickly. Yes, the bank's whole safe did cost them a ton to have installed, but it also weighs several tons and is much harder to make off with than the contents of a specific few safety deposit boxes which may well contain bearer bonds or other valuable assets that are worth more than what's in the whole rest of the bank.

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm fairly certain POCOs will only hold PI materials.

When I said "primarily", this was the change I had in mind. And it IS a nice change to be sure (not huge but nice). Still, there is so many other aspects of industrial life that need attention that I still feel it is pretty underwhelming. It is a good improvement package for you WH guys though, and admittedly - you probably needed changes the most.

I believe this is deliberate, and I think it's to force some W-Space dwellers out into K-Space every now and again.

My favorite part of the blog is where they are going to allow Capital Ship Maintenance Arrays in other places. Always annoyed me when we couldn't put them on our POS just because we didn't hold sovereignty out in 0.0. Would make things much more convenient and easier with them. Also, another good thing is accessing stuff from anywhere inside the POS shield. Was always a pain in the ass slow boating to the arrays in a cap ship to access the hangars and so on.

My point is that making it in the POS at the new personal hangar makes it trivial to deny access to resources. I know it's not a new threat, but the personal hangar array makes denial of access literally a drag and drop thing for the trolling thief, with no recourse from the POS managers. Philosophically, I don't like having a POS module with aspects that are off limits to the POS managers and POS owner.

Im glad to see these changes finally arriving, and so soon at that. I get that not all of it will be able to go live by the 4th but It is a great start. Especially the edits to personal hangars and interbubble access which will make this soo much easier especially when youve got an orca full of ore to bring over to an assembly array moving at like 3m/s Lol.

Just on a side note for another change i might reccomend would be the refining arrays, I hate that you need to be in .3 or lower to use them its a terrible drag on time and efficency to have to go find an Empty .3 moon rather than the .4 you already have set up especially for people who cant enter high sec. It would be great if they could be anchored there and linked to either a silo or corp hangar as well to make it simpler on everyone who uses them.

Other than that looking foreward to the new expansion and what secrets it holds for us all haha
