By fixing POSes you make me a happier CEO, which in turn makes the rest of my corp much happier as I stop complaining about them. So its suddenly not affecting 1 person, but 100 :)

As a long-term POS dweller, please prioritize POS updates over something I care less about. Even if it's just an update similar to the initial Crimewatch one. That is, something largely invisible to the player at the time, but which lays the groundwork for faster, more visible and radical progress.

I'd be happy with even that, as the art assets for those are pretty good.

I always was extremely excited to hear about the modular pos system, but saddened to hear that it was canceled. Please hear the voices of your playerbase and take a look at it again.

As an owner of 3 control towers, I really hope CCP will realize how important they are and give them some love.

And while we are on the subject, CCP would you please make it so offline POS's in high sec are either removed, or made so they can be picked up by anybody? High sec is absolutely littered with thousands of abandoned POS's. How about if they are offline for 30 days, they are sent to the owners hanger? or just repackaged, ready to be picked up by anybody.

The very first thing I want done:


Corporate roles management update:
Make managing Corporate Roles not unlike managing an IT network.

• Permissions to resources are set in categories: "Look at"; "Use"; "Configure"; "Reset"
• Anything which can be done, any corporate action, and role, and resource (such as POS') has permsissions associated with it.
• Permissions can be bundled into sets.
• Sets can be assigned to Groups.
• Groups can contain Players.

This will allow very fine granularity of control over not only roles, but of access to and control over resources.
This means less opportunity for massive corporate theft. It means you can assign a specific group of players specific and narrowly-defined roles without burdening them with other administrative headaches and without permitting low-level corp members access to high-priority resources.

That alone will make it possible to share the burden of POS administration with confidence and safety, not to mention making other aspects of Corp security potentially much tighter.

And yes, I understand that some CEOs and Directors will totally screw up their management. Too bad for them - CCP only need supply the tools. It's up to the player to use them effectively.

My corporation and i live in a wh so pos's are basically the center of our life out there. so give them the love they deserve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there a whole damn community centered around them.

Eve is a game of long term goals and for many Eve players our aspirations involve some form of POS-based gameplay even if we're not currently running POSes.

T1 manufacturers may dream of a day when they become inventors.

High sec mission runners may be building up resources and skills to move out to nullsec and join the great wars over moon poses there.

Players may intend to go into unknown space where they'll be based in POSes. Not just for the fabled amounts of isk but we've also seen groups like Verge Of Collapse pioneer a new form of pvp based on raiding nullsec from W-space.

Now I'd particularly like to touch on Nullsec and the role of POSes there. Success in nullsec is currently based on ship to structure pvp and it's utterly dull. Deals are made before space is invaded and once you see a blue wall of, say, PL + Test + Raiden rolling towards you it's pointless to undock. Your "defence" is how boring they find it to kill all your structures.

Imagine a sov system that rewarded active defence without depending on it. 100 Drakes orbiting a defensive station that gives strong defensive bonuses to the ships outside it, enough to make blobs think twice. That's the game everyone in null wants, the game we could have if POSes are revised in the right way - so that player owned stations set up for close range ship support would encourage undocking to fight for your corner of the universe.

CCP, you don't want to make the POS rewamp ? Only little adjustments ? Well, do so then ! It's a good solution if you want to.. kill your game ;o
