EVE Information Portal

Thanks for the update, that all sounds great. 50K m3 per person sounds pretty reasonable to me, especially because people can either anchor another PHA or just use a CHA.

Awesome to hear things are moving forward at a, to a bitter vet, impressive speed.

I seriously think you should discuss the issue of capacity of storage in all EVE´s game mechanics.

As i see it its really going against the fundamental difference between EVE and other games.

If things arent moving, there is no need for limitations, except for a server/db load argument, or the issue of players being able to hoard huge amounts of assets in bunkered down locations. The latter is actually a positive thing, since if game mechanics exist to obtain knowledge of such vast resources location, then its a lot more strategically interesting. Using time sinks like in PI delay is much more valid, and these should be considered as queue-able function. So when moving things basically via npc/server-side mechanic its more like timers in anchoring and onlining. Especially if mechanics would allow almost batch like queueing a lot of the click fest would feel less frustrating. It a horrible comparison, but it would be more like farmville and still retain the balance functions.

Maybe we need to consider having a spying and thus scanning functionality specifically for hangars? That would be a rather huge game changer, and ofc some sort of countermeasures would be needed.

The potential added strategic element would however make it a valid concept to consider.

Also could you please comment on the issue of take roles towards corp.. I think its time ccp looked at this and upgraded to a bit more realist functionality.. The hangar mechanics have been fundamentally unchanged for quite a lot of years..

So if we ram ourselves into the shield and quicky try to access something before we bounce back, will it work?

glad to hear it Fozzie, Team Five-0 kicking ass and taking names yet again! \o/

Thanks. I personally think the 3 big things that were missed (At least as far as I saw) are:

1. Refitting on an SMA from anywhere within the shield.
2. Allowing shield access based on standings, in addition to corp/alliance. Similar to the way fleets can be created.
3. Queuing the online/offline functions. I know this one is more complex and requires some additional tweaks to prevent it from becoming overpowered, but I'd definitely like to see it.

For all you players asking about the roles for cancelling jobs (and this applies to regular station jobs also) I'm going to have a look and see if there is something we can do about it. Take this with a hefty slice of Expectation Management Pie, but one simple possibility I'm thinking of is restricting the ability to cancel corp jobs to director roles only. With just the Factory-Manager role, you'd still be able to cancel your own corp jobs, but not those corp jobs belonging to your corpmates.
What do you think about this idea? Be aware this is a very specific, focused fix to an problem that has come up a few times. Please don't feature-creep on me, or there's simply no scope for it happening!

Just to clarify my understanding. Canceling other members jobs will become restricted to directors only. If you have the Factory-Manager role, you will be able to still cancel your jobs. If you do not have the Factory-Manager role and you are not a director, then you will not be able to cancel any jobs, including your own.

Is this the correct interpretation?

Mainly because the answer isn't yes or no. We can't make the call on subsystem swapping in carriers and other ship bays until we are further along with the process for that story.

Sounds good to me.

Will we be able to run jobs from inside of private hangar? Like researching BPOs, etc.
