Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The original thread brought a lot of attention to CCP on the issue. One of the Dev blogs a few months back stated that they had people working on revamping the POS's but not a lot of specifics were mentioned. I assume that the recent fuel block changes are just part of a bigger plan to change POS's.

Somebody should bring this up at Fanfest and ask them directly about it, force their hand.

Would also be prudent for a Dev or two to chime into this thread once in a while and update us with new information if possible as to what changes are coming or if there are any changes to come at all.

700 hours fit into a pos fuel bay

28 days is 672 hours
30 days is 720 hours.
31 days is 744 hours.

Ok bump it back up, and i hope this is the main feature of the new expansion if not; burn them!

Hi! we havent spoken recently, but Id like to keep the dialogue open as we still have some issues to work out.
namely, there is still some room for improvement. mostly in the structural areas of your expertise. it seem slacking in cohesion of vision and we, would love some information of how this will be addressed in the future, or if in fact this is being taken into consideration.

Thanks

POS - Player Owned Station. .. When will it REALLY be player owned and controlled, as opposed to corp owned/controlled? Also, a corp of 1-5 characters (being alts anyway) is really just a person working under the guise of a corp, because the pos mechanics won't let it be player owned.

Has CCP committed to any specific points of pos mechanics improvements? Do they understand the needs of wormholers regarding poses? Lastly, CCP, you should consider making wormholes sov space. Why not?

(lolrp reason)
You need to be in a capsuleer-run corporation to anchor the towers, because the NPC mega-corps have already exhausted their licensing with the faction claiming sovereignty over that space. As capsuleers fall under the jurisdiction of CONCORD, rather than any one of the four empires, they are extended rights by those sovereign factions to anchor their own starbases at moons between the 0.7 and 0.5 CONCORD security bands. For systems of CONCORD security of 0.4 to 0.1, there simply aren't enough navy officials to police structured anchored by capsuleers.

(/lolrp reason).


Seriously though, being able to anchor a tower in a NPC corporation would be bad, since the owner could never get dec'd.

Also, allow the pos owner to group batteries together so that they lock and attack the same target together. Make the ECM batteries prefer ships which match their primary jamming type.

Either remove CPU for missiles, or give CPU requirements (even just 1) to all other turret batteries. Not that such a change won't prevent fleets from simply putting all batteries into incap anyway, but no sense bringing undue bias against Caldari weapons systems. We don't see missile launchers going offline when the ship's shields are depleted ..

Add a new pos module (outside pos) for trading which registers goods on the market.

Remove sov requirements for anchoring any pos module.

Give wspace moons valuable stuff to mine with pos's.

group pos batteries, yes
missiles suck anyways
intercorp trading (buy/sell) module is great, (also been suggested before)

no sov in wh so no ihub or tcu, cause how would you remove sov in a wh? where to put sbu?

valuable stuff other then sleepers? and grav sites with abc/m?

The following part of the CCP Presents! keynote speech from Fanfest 2012 might be somehow related to this topic here. Don't miss to watch it!

Oh, good I see this now.
I was working on an alike-idea last night, with modulair POS modules.

Like, a 'core' module with a docking bay, wich provides a small fuel bay, basic CPU/PG output, 3 POS structure mounting points and 4 mounting points for defensive structures.

Each module would have sites that could connect to eachother, thus making expanding a POS easy.

One would logically use a core module with a corp hangar and ship hangar module, then expand with a powerplant module that uses also fuelblocks per X time, but makes the PG/CPU output of the POS increase.
Then a dedicated fuel bay to store some fuels, defensive structures, personal hangar array, repair facility, labs, etc...

Anyway, a basic painting of the thing (core + corp hangar array) that is far from being done (but after seeing this thread i dont need to work on it anymore):

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11684856/EVE/Ideas/Modulair%20POS/Caldari_Core_Hub_Render_00001.jpg

On the right of the 'core hub' you can see a POS structure mounting point, with a corporate hangar array module (not finished painting this) attached to it.
Both modules have mount points for defensive structures on top of them.

A lot of parts have not been done, and offcourse the texturing is also not there.

If you guys like, i could continue drawing this stuff, but i guess the OP already had a better idea :) dont want to steal that.
