I don't 'need' it, however the apeal like you spoke of of simply wanting my own space that is mine alone has drawn me such that I have to include it in my plans.<br /><br />As I dont currently manage one I am not aware of all the issues people have with the current system but I will be finding out most likley rather soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513886553723440828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-73892629843896570002013-01-18T11:32:42.292-05:002013-01-18T11:32:42.292-05:00Quick reply regarding the "where would it be ...Quick reply regarding the "where would it be welcomed".<br /><br />One of the better things I did in the game was taking over the T2 material production from my former industrial corp: it brought me out into lo-sec, I had to care about what I did when and where, I had something which I needed to defend, and it was something the corp could rally around. In game design words: POSes are conflict drivers, because they aren't easily welcomed by the incumbents.Druur Monakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299435488090977357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-77711123551932576022013-01-18T05:27:03.740-05:002013-01-18T05:27:03.740-05:00Felipe, the entire conversation is about restructu...Felipe, the entire conversation is about restructuring POS. People are not suggesting new features to the game because they wish for current features, vital to the game, to be improved.<br /><br />The sad part of your comment is that people will continue to use them, continue to be frustrated, and it will continue to be en excluding mechanic due to its complexity.<br /><br />It isn't about ignoring newer people for the sake of the hard core. It is about opening it up and expanding it to its full potential for everyone. I don't know if some of that opinion comes from knowledge from use and interaction or just opinions on what the possibilities could be if improvements were made.<br /><br />But, if I understand, none of that matters because you don't find the topic worth development time compared to something new across the entire game that time could be used for?Sugar Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437978687639772023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-14635362447547223682013-01-18T02:21:20.566-05:002013-01-18T02:21:20.566-05:00Please don't imply that I want the expansion t...Please don't imply that I want the expansion to me, I want some, and I think you deserve some as well. What I don't want is the expansion just to you, as CCP said the revamping POS would consume all their resources for a full expansion. <br /><br />Don't say that I don't know that I'm part of a bigger game then my small PVP, I know that very well, I'm part of this big universe the same as you, may have bought some of your boosters, who knows? My point was that EVE would benefit from a POS revamp but not as much it would from something new and fun for all the people to do. <br /><br />To Darsen, <br /><br />I know how POSes work, stront and everything else, having used one in the past. They are bad, no questions about it, but they are manageable by the people that uses them, hardcore gamers. You know the ones, the ones that cry dumb down every time that a change comes to the game. What I'm claiming is that there is no new game play or fun to be had with the revamped POSes. It's the same stuff in a new package. Lets say me and my mates decide to set up one in null to serve as a base for ratting. New or old it can be destroyed in a matter of a day by a blob. In LS what would be better for pirates than know exactly where they can find you? <br /><br />Not a single proposal so far include any significant new game play to them, just make the old easier. As much as I agree that you deserve a new one that is easy to use, why should I and let's say 50% of the players wait for a year to have something new to do because of that? Feels a bit like incarna, that some people use and want more, but nothing was added to most people game play.Felipe Suzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277006330427423983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-81622298089338437242013-01-17T23:30:59.612-05:002013-01-17T23:30:59.612-05:00Many ideas have been suggested for the major issue...Many ideas have been suggested for the major issues. Security is a major one. Job queues and the corporate AI part.<br /><br />The thing is that if all you do is PvP in RvB then most expansions would hold no interest to you.<br /><br />I could turn it around and say that most players will not spend all their time doing PvP to the exclusion of the rest of the game. <br /><br />But you are a cog in the machine as am I. You rely second and third hand on a POS and an Indy person just as they do you.<br /><br />Whenever we think of expanding and new and fixing we have to think outside of just our own needs and wants. The thread ought discusses that people understand it won't be a year of POS. They just don't want it fully set aside.<br /><br />Also, part of asking to fix a problem is suggesting ideas and possibilities.<br /><br />I live in low sec. I don't need a house. I would be all over one. I don't need to make boosters. I could too PvP all day to the exclusion of all else.<br /><br />But I like the more aspect of the game. Being one thing is to small for me in my concept of Eve.Sugar Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437978687639772023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-66243127253518772082013-01-17T23:26:36.466-05:002013-01-17T23:26:36.466-05:00Well, Felipe, what do you need? Because CCP can...Well, Felipe, what do you need? Because CCP can't allocate equal resources to everything, and not everything needs the same level of attention. POSes were rolled out near the beginning of the game as a placeholder for something better. Ten years later, they've been only slightly changed. You just got three expansions' worth of content, in the form of better T1 ships, simplified high-sec engagement rules. and fixed wardec rules.<br /><br />"Good or bad," POSes can be used for industry, but "bad" is actively discouraging people from industry and logistics. People burn out. People stop having fun. Corps lose CEOs and directors over how horrible the POS interface is. Ideally, people in Empire would stop using invincible NPC stations at the earliest opportunity, claim their own bit of space with a POS, and put themselves fully into the game, but right now that's asking a few valiant people to sacrifice their time, enjoyment of the game, and sanity. "Bad" needs to go away.<br /><br />You are far too skeptical of the utility of POSes in low and null (hint: they have reinforcement timers, so you can't just blap them "in minutes"), and before you contemptuously wave off WH dwellers, remember that living out of a POS is their only option. They don't have stations out there. Their part of the game has seen one improvement--corp bookmarks--since the introduction of wormholes. Can you really say that they deserve no attention? Have you ever flown a strategic cruiser?<br /><br />Make a list of the things you want fixed or improved or introduced. How big is it? How long is it? How urgent is it? How many other playstyles will the requests on your list benefit? (Improving POSes will benefit play in nearly every corner of the game, including yours if you like flying T2 ships.) Are they more important than fixing things that been broken for 3, or 5, or 10 years? The answers to those questions should determine how much attention CCP pays to your play style, or anyone else's.Dersen Loweryhttp://www.structuredamage.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-81045908198271034732013-01-17T23:11:54.898-05:002013-01-17T23:11:54.898-05:00Care to guess where all those T2 mods you put on y...Care to guess where all those T2 mods you put on your ship come from? <br /><br />Thats right, they were built in a POS.Naoru Kozanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970574576930878118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-54974951688480250332013-01-17T22:53:23.581-05:002013-01-17T22:53:23.581-05:00I'm not sure how important POSes are, or how a...I'm not sure how important POSes are, or how a revamp would affect me.<br /><br />I live in HS as a RvB member. I have no reason to have a POS at all. I don't do industry, research, invention, etc... What I do is PvP all day and the related tasks like fitting ships, market runs, etc... <br /><br />Do I want CCP to expend a expansion revamping something that will add nothing to my game play? No. Do I mind if CCP do a bit of a time to revamp them while keep delivering things to my play stile? No as well.<br /><br />CCP wants to give a bit to everyone in their future expansions, how about you guys come up with one or two crucial things that would make managing your POSes less of a chore and add value to everyone instead of pushing for a full revamp? I could work and your life would improve.<br /><br />All this housing thing seams to me misplaced. Having your own POS sounds cool, but where would it be welcomed? Not in HS as you have free stations and good or bad all the industry things can be done with the POSes of now. Low? If you live there is just a good place for your enemies to camp and destroy your stuff. Null? I can see a supercap blob cleaning all your assets in minutes with DD weapons. WH might be the place for better POSes, real houses, but only 5% of EVE lives there, and it's not because POSes suck, it's because is not casual friendly. Can't be a "lurker" in there. <br /><br />Do we need better POSes in the game, do you guys deserve better POSes? Yes, but don't take from me to get this done.Felipe Suzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277006330427423983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-73836547979950049892013-01-17T21:39:05.062-05:002013-01-17T21:39:05.062-05:00Basically there are so few moons available near hi...Basically there are so few moons available near high sec hubs that "just in case" when there is one available someone will grab it even if he doesn't need it just because the location is valuable.<br /><br />When i was looking for a POS near Jita it took me hours before i found a system with free moons so "just in case" i put 4 towers to different moons. Also i bought a corporation with standings and the standings are reset after the first week so it makes sense to place more towers because i am not able to do so anymore.Debra Taohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143296038786216070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-58360160858198780082013-01-17T13:41:24.335-05:002013-01-17T13:41:24.335-05:00I know and I hope I do not come off as belittling ...I know and I hope I do not come off as belittling your situation. I simply do not live in a wormhole to justify speaking for wormhole life and I wanted to point out how it worked in terms of their current 'goals' of new player retention.<br /><br />POSs are another reason I don't want to live in wormholes. I am constantly drifting out of my own. I want a tether to hook the ship to and not drift out of the shields.Sugar Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437978687639772023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-91761306549545218692013-01-17T13:14:01.747-05:002013-01-17T13:14:01.747-05:00Thanks, Sugar.
