Can we get confirmation of the intended changes to outpost bonuses too? If they exist, I cannot find them. Perhaps in a thread like the starbase changes?

I'm looking forward to the industry changes but one thing keeps bugging me; I'm using POS for T2 manufacturing and that means I have to stick around to manualy move materials between various modules (like component and equipment assembly arrays). The remote job installing is no good since the more complex assembly arrays (like equipment, drone or ship) cannot take materials from component assembly array or corporate hangar (which wouldn't help anyway, because the goods from component assembly array cannot be delivered to corp hangar). The same thing happens when you run out of material in one of the modules but you still have plenty in the other - once again you have to travel to your POS just to move stuff around.

Will this be addressed in some way? I haven't realy found an answer to that but I sure hope it will. Right now I can manufacture T2 components remotely but then I still have to warp to my POS to move them to different module in the same POS. That kinda beats all the benefits of remote job management and I don't know why since all the materials are at the POS anyway. Thanks

Maybe an alt sat in or near the POS would be a good comprimise for now, with the appropriate roles of course? Looks liker I have to wait until July to play with POS but I'd rather that than them be wrecked by a rushed release

What makes this invalid? That is exactly how I feel. If I worked my ass off in missions getting to 7 faction standing so I could anchor in 0.7 then a change to a no standing requirement is naturally going to annoy me.

I think it's a perfectly valid reason for thinking it's a bad idea to remove the standing requirement.

I realize this is part of the tweaking from the other Indi changes but are the POS's ever gonna be reworked?

I mean in my opinion the entire POS system is probably the oldest part of EVE, set up is terrible, etc.

I think it needs a complete overhaul.

These ideas that were in the commonly proposed ideas area should definitely be looked at.

They are in the 4th post.

I think there were some great ideas in there that can be tweaked and will fit into this whole summer industrial expansion you guys are doing.

Hopefully you have something planned out already!

Cheers

Hello Apples! This is my friend, Oranges. Let's discuss comparisons. Shall we?

That would be nice since that would fix the security issues and the remote access issues I posted earlier. Of course the assembly array would have to be able to take materials and deliver the product from/to the hangar.

I continue to hold the position that a total removal of anchoring restrictions is a bad idea. Originally I was completely against it, but after further thought have concluded that having it limited to the lowest security in high-sec (0.5) would be of benefit to both entry level POS managing corps AND established corps willing to commit to allying themselves with a particular empire faction.

All of the comparisons/analogies I've seen comparing this particular change to previous changes and examples lack common ground or parity. I can even further the argument by saying a group or individual investing in the faction of one empire runs foul of the opposing faction and their allies. Case in point this character is a Gallente aligned industrialist, and is "shoot on site" by Caldari and Amarr navies. A complete removal will lend to a noncommital approach to gameplay where only the Faction Warfare players are at risk venturing into enemy territories.

The mechanics that allow players/corps anchor a POS in high-sec also has the side affect on where those players can venture most importantly in wars between corps or alliances. Again empire navies will engage players in appropriate security level systems based on their standings hence preventing them from join battles in those systems, I would say it is a good thing because it forces even more strategy when attacking or defending space bound assets. Without the reason to gain the standings the rewards for doing standing missions become very less appealing since the cumulative gain was more important than the individual standing mission rewards.

The complete removal of empire standing need in anchor will have some very subtle and rippling effects in other areas.

As a part of industry UI improvements I would like to have an opportunity to link not only item from item blueprint, but also item blueprint from item (where applicable).
