Will you still require a wardec to attack a POS?

Interesting.

I'll put in more comments later, when I'm not at work, though I'll really need to see the other devblogs, before my comments can be particularly coherent.

Yes, we had a look at that as well. Allowing people to lock blueprints down in Starbases with current vote / lock mechanics would not be a good idea, so it won't be possible for now.

So "lockdown blueprints" now becomes almost entirely useless? We will also have to move those blueprints between multiple hangers when we're using the assembly items, and goodbye to things such as remote filtering and such?

*Scratches head* ... was this designed by someone in photoshop and outlook by any chance? Thus ignoring such trivial things as... ease of use.

I have no earthly idea why a BPO needs to be moved to a starbase in order to use it, when all of us indy types have deliberately trained skills to avoid having to do that, to manage them all centrally (like anyone in real life would do).

Fix things like batch creation.

I feel like there will now be even more High Sec POSes due to the removal of the standings requirement. This will inevitably lead to more people setting up and abandoning towers. Will there be any consideration for how to remove these large high sec towers that have been abandoned? It can be pretty disheartening to go set up a new tower only to find out that most moons are occupied by abandoned towers that would take a massive BS fleet hours to take out.

So capital and super bpo's give us some idea around how they will work?

Any chance this would also apply to T2 BPOs? Right now it takes longer to make a copy than to just manufacture from the BPO. It would be a great way for a new market to spring up around T2 BPO BPCs and make it easier for new people to get in to T2 manufacturing without having to get in to invention.

Thank you for the notification, this (and a typo) has been fixed now.

Not empty quoting.

Also, industrial expansion is a go!

Removal of standings and sec status limit for anchoring POSes in hisec is a great idea. I whole-heartedly support it. Removal of slots and replacing with a scaling cost sounds like a great market-based mechanic, rather than arbitrary slot limits. I am eagerly awaiting the next blog on costs, and how the station upgrades (more slots / offices) will work. Are those upgrades going to be worth anything anymore? Will station owners be able to set the base cost, scale, flat cost, or other parameters?

I like it here. It's exciting!

1. Please say those new images in the blueprint Get Info aren't here to stay. I rather like the text-driven tabs.

2. I predict there will be even more abandoned POSes out hogging all the spaces next to the moons. There needs to be some mechanic for these to be abandoned and destroyed in a reasonable amount of time after running out of fuel and failing to be maintained (like the secure containers that are lost, whether they hold goods or not).

3. If there's no lockdown available for blueprints, that's going to seriously up the risk of hauling out stuff like capital component BPOs to the station that are pretty much required non-stop in ship production.

4. While you're redoing the arrays and research facilities, could you add in folders or some sort of container so we can better sort through whose stuff is whose instead of having to rely on a complicated shell game of corporate divisions? Edit: Though judging by that screenshot, it looks like that might have already been considered.
