you setup a tower once and save the POS setup (what guns etc) and positions of the mods with the ability to rotate in 90 degree angles (not vertically tho as that might have unintended side effects cool but not really needed)

since the change to anchoring times this will not be overpowered but will make starting new a new pos so much easier and less painful

the setup can be saved like ship fittings and linked and bookmarked into personal setups aswell as on a corp level
max saved on personal and corp level is 10/20

when you load the setup on a POS tower it moves each item to the same place as listed on the setup (maybe have a 3d view of the setup like the fitting window ship view zoom-able etc) keep the old style of anchoring the mods via the box moving at all times for fine tuning of mod placement (maybe as a secondary option to the new setup window)

maybe an offline editor (made by ccp or 3rd party) to make the setup/fits etc

positives:
less time dragging a little box around a large pos and mis-clicking and changing your view massively which is the last mega gripe (and reason for cutting arms) when setting up a large tower (even mediums can be a pain if you are sat at the tower zoomed out trying to do it)
easier for new players to start in the POS world as u just get a POS "fit" and do it

negatives:
POS mods can be in perfect placement within seconds of tower coming online (but you still need to do the anchoring and online of the mods yourself)

Sorry, but modular POS will overrun this.

I disagree!

what do u mean by that?

have u setup a large pos? using a tiny box having to zoom out to move it and missing the arrows and changing the view and not moving the mod anchor box?
