You can't get rid of the UI completely, you do need to be able to do shit like select who has access to the POS and all of that. I still fail to see how your system is better than a modular system, it has less features and nothing about it is better than the modular POS system that CCP has talked about in the past. | ||

They need a role, or ideally multiple roles, and they need to be broken from corp based to individual based. Increasing the usage of them? Because the margin in that business isnt already abysmal? Same for reactions and drugs and mining everything but the top3 moonminerals. Also eve isnt a singleplayer game. Its fine if they are a corp only thing. | ||

Industry POS wouldn't change margins, margins are dictated by what players are willing to accept for their efforts, it would drop the cost of modules and give extra profit to those who ran industry POS until they became universal. It would also make lowsec actually interesting, like POCOs but based on something that, unlike PI, people use. | ||

The UI could be cobbled together from things that already kinda work like people and places and the station industry/research buttons. CCP seem to be going back and fixing a lot of the really broken shit with the game, and they seem to be doing a good job so far. I don't see any reason why they can't make a functional modular POS system. | ||

A titan died a fiew weeks ago because his nose was out of his small pos, and he got afk long enough for someone to bump him out. In EVE, if something stupid is doable, someone WILL do it. It's just a matter of when and where. Edit : I agree with either having very cheap small pos or having a smaller, individual category of poses. If they are everywhere and everyone get to play a bit with them, it gives a great incentive for CCP to develop the feature. I'm not sure they should be as extremely simple as you suggest (I think you should be able to do big poses with low tank, for example, risk versus reward, an incentive for highsec wardecs if you spot them, etc ...), but simpler as they are currently, hell yes. I'd love to drop some poses to do stuff, but I don't want to bang my head against the wall setting them up, so I passed on the option. | ||

One would think you might have noticed how many of us are making subtle jabs at how bad someone would have to be to let this happen to themselves to think that maybe the person who did that may just have happened to be one of us. Maybe. Or you could just go back a few pages past all the shield battery drama and find out. | ||

They have done a great job with their recent expansions, so instead of judging them on shit that happened a decade ago how about we judge them based on current performance? Besides, it's not like they could make POSes any worse. It was mentioned in a dev post somewhere | ||
