+1 OP sums it up and has the CPU/PG/rate I'd like to see

What all the 'muh stations' people are forgetting is that a POS costs 110-440M/month to fuel, so stations are STILL BETTER EVEN WITH 100% refine on POSes.

Now where the hell is this POS patch we've been waiting for forever? Damn, POSes have barely changed since they were implemented. The only changes were less/more anchorable stuff and the semi-recent fuel block change (which is great, btw).

Mad kudo's for Infinite Force.

Nice going keeping this up top. I might even start mining in my system if this ever happens.

To the top, POS's must be updated!

Hello!

I support this idea. I live in a wh and the ore bay for the refineray is way to small even for a single person. Many of you have said that this would be unfair to those who owns the stations with refining. I think that the idea that the refinaries at a pos is skilled based (with a bit greater lose than a station, something like 5-15% loose with max skill) and that it take some time to refine would still make people that can use the station refineries continue to do so.

My wh have a high sec exit and you can not bring in a freighter. You can bring in an orca, but you can not jump back and forth with an orca because the wh will close quickly and you will need to do alot of jumps on diffrent exit and to diffrent trade hubs to get the ore out. The cargo space for the orca is big, but not that big that it will deal with all the ore from one day of mining. Using a Mammoth or similair is not an option either because their cargo bays is way to small for the job. Looking at either the orca or smaller industrial ships sums up that you have to do alot of jumps to get the ore out, and that takes time!

Lossing the 25 % and having to put up with a small ore bay in the refinaries is still the best option if you can not use a freighter, but that does not meen that the current solution is great, because it is not. your idea howewer is great!

Kind regards

A refining array is designed to have shortfalls. If you don't like it buy a Rorqual like i did.
This is not a problem, it is an inconvenience and a justified one at that.

At this point, this idea feels irrelevant.

With the deployable system continuing to be developed, we'll almost certainly be seeing deployable refinery arrays before too long.
