This topic, much loved and hated, deserves another look.
A sensible compromise might be to create a "Dual fuel" check for POS, I.e. you could fuel the normal way or you could fuel with the appropriate pellet. Those of us with more than 1 POS would absolutely love this change.

i thought it sounded great when i first heard it, but the little details make it less and less attractive
you still have to collect fuel from mulitple locations, dedicate factory slots to building the things, and haul them out. it just shifts the bottleneck of pos fueling from 0.0 to empire at the cost of adding cost and complexity to fueling
they would help out part-time pos owners that are willing to spend a little extra to save a headache, but if you're the corp's tower ***** with hundreds of poses to keep fueled, you'd have to spend a bit extra to keep it fueled if you want the headache off of your hands |

i love the idea as long as its fast. i figure you could just load everything into a comp assembly array and pump them out fairly quick. as long as it turns the fuel into pellets with no loss or anything and is fairly quick then I dont see why it shouldn't be done. it would certainly make fueling a pos easier. just load in the pellets, the liquid ozone, and the heavy water. less sov would make you use less pellets.
pos fuel shouldn't be as large as it is anyway. i dont see why they should be such a pain to fuel. |

If POS Fuel Pellets can be made, won't some players set themselves up as large-scale producers, and do all the hauling and purchasing of the ingredients?
I'd expect POS Fuel Pellets to make POS ownership more convenient, although perhaps a few percent more expensive.

i love this idea, it would be great for it to be optional, IE i can have an hours worth of fuel, or i can buy a large gallente fuel pellet if i dont want to fly around and pick all the misc crap up . . . though i know the latter will have me paying manufacturers margin  |

CCP dropped a hint in their Apocrypha 1.5 discussion thread that this winter's expansion is focused on sovereignty including improving POS logistics. It may well include pellets; we'll have to wait and see for the dev blog. |
