Automatic mails to owners on agression. This goes to all sov structures. Players should be looking after their assets. I think this is one change to Sov that will free up a lot of the "claimed" sov that is currently only held by mails, timers and CCP dev friends on behalf of the coalitions.

Agreed, and make those mails descriptive as to structure, system and location.

Number one (fix this and the rest may vanish)

Offline pos can only remain anchored for 5 mins. After 5 mins, it unanchors and anyone with fuel can claim it ...

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Missiles being garbage have less to do with their damage/rate of fire and more to do with the fact that they are the only weapon system for a POS that requires CPU, and therefore are offlined through reinforcement and until shields are above 50%. Why would somebody use missiles over a weapon system that actually stays online through a reinforcement.


Any Thorax can passively shield tank a tower that is shooting Cruise Missiles.

As an amateur programmer, I feel the amount of work involved in a complete POS code overhaul is probably mind boggling. On par with the entire Incarna workload perhaps. But will be WAYYY more positively received. Lol

Just the idea of transferring all current data to a new system would be ugly enough.

I would tend to agree, a complete overhaul would require a lot of work. There is however room to modify some existing things about them (see list above) that would require very little effort. Simple changes and additions will be the lovin POSes have needed for quite some time. Many great ideas have been ssuggested in this thread. If half of them were implemented in a mini-upgrade the userbase they effect would rejoyce :) Cmon CCP give us just a little love.

While not the perfect solution it is a preverbial bandaid to make them more useable and adjust them a bit whlie appeasing the masses until such a time as they can dedocate the effort to rework them the way they want them to be.

1. Old abandoned pos unanchor after a certain amount of time (if pos was set by defunct corp they should unanchor immediately as part of the upgrade)

2. Setting up a pos DOES suck as someone mentioned...better interface for that.

3. I like the idea of renting out lab slots to the public as a way to offset costs

4. How about letting us repackage items and ships in the hangar array and the ship maint array? Allows us to move more things if the need arises and we have to leave an area in a hurry.

5. Also like someone's other suggestion about xlarge ship assy array able to create every ship the large,med and small can.

6. Repair module? So that modules, drones and ships can be repaired w/o the use of a 'nurse domi' or some other similarly fitted ship?

Passive moon mining should be first to go.

What would be the first thing you would like to see fixed/changed?

I know there are so many things to decide from :(

The one thing that I always wished worked correctly, was the ability to rent POS lab slots to alliance members (yeah I know, it sorta works, but not right) or even the general public.


Dream on, POS fixes are on the 5 year plan, we just don't know which 5 years they are planning on.

With the new proposed changes to refining, the POS may get some attention. They will certainly be in higher demand if you will get better refining results then in NPC stations.

If they don't do something about the abandoned POS locations in use currently. POS demolition services are gonna make a killing when more locations are needed.

They should really just scrap the current pos code and start over. I feel it would be easier than trying to hack in fixes. They have said before that most of the problems is that there is a bunch of code from when pos's dealt with sov ownership that breaks everything.

I can't think of any pos feature that works well currently. The worst is a tie between trying to share research/manufacture slots and the moon goo interface.

The best is probably the new CHA modules they added recently.


Totally agree but I am sure I remember somewhere that the main issue is that that the code for pos's is interlink with teh code for AI.

I suggested this about a year ago and was flamed from here to kingdom come, funny enough most of the negative posts were form the goons.. go figure Blink

Yeah lol. Same flames, but I'll keep pushing for it to be done.

I'm guessing the last 5.

It seems so little effort on CCPs part would be required to make this happen. It would be an excellent addition. I can't understand why someone would flame you for making this suggestion.

Instead of being unanchored or being hackable after 30 days, an unfueled POS should be able to be shot at without a wardec. However in doing so you become a suspect. Risk vs reward.

This one's a bit over the edge guys.

Locked for breaking... well, pretty much all the rules.
