It is not about putting but the need of transporting between those structures.
Right now you can: - refine/build /store on POS - refine /build/ store / Trade on Station.
What CCP is proposing will lead to : - fly to refinery - fly to production facility - fly to market hub
For small guys like me this will not be big issue , but when you are talking about people building big stuff. You can bring 1 freighter of compressed ore to refinery , but after this you much , much more freighters of minerals that needs to be moved.

I strongly dislike the 'asset safety'. Maybe I got it wrong, but to me it contradicts the harsh-eve environment. I really don't understand where someone would take the effort to down a structure and get "comparebly nothing". On the other hand, why would someone fight to defend it's structure?

Or even fitting your citadel as an industrial center?
Sure, you won't get the bonuses you would with the industry specific structures, but there's been no specific limit on which you'll be able to put in.

Currently there is a Enormous network of alts in each system, all minimally skilled mostly used for moon goop collection or intel. What stops that single alt from logging into the system being linked, arming the defenses and shooting the enemy with a battle station? I am probably missing something but this is currently done with the Siphon units. A API call (or intel), notifies that this pos has a siphon on it, someone logs an alt on, mans a gun, pops it, shoots the logi, and logs off.
I suppose people can do that now with POS's, except dreads usually come to blow it to hell.
Yaay!!!!

- How will "vulnerability" and "destructibility" interact? How would you protect a structure that you want to capture, rather than to destroy? Will you be able to do it at all? How will you avoid accidental killings?
- How will these changes affect NPC Stations in hisec, lowsec and nullsec? Umm... bump? Sorry to quote myself, but Dear CCP, I believe these are kinda valid questions. ;) You would protect a structure by using the Entosis module to prevent the opposing party to attack it during its vulnerability window. Or you would use the defenses fitted to kill them all while laughing like a maniac. Accidental killings are a tricky business. We may either want to forbid you from locking and shooting neutrals in high-sec (permanent safety mechanic), or, if we can do it, allow you to do so but have CONCORD show up and destroy your structure if you commit an act of aggression. Depends on technical and design difficulties, too early to say so far. In all cases AoE weapons will not be allowed in high-sec for obvious reasons. It's too early to say how NPC stations will be affected. We want those structures to be more efficient than NPC stations though, which either means boosting them or nerfing NPC stations. Just 1 thing (for now at least). The entosis link is designed for alliance sov warfare and vulnerability windows set by an alliance with duration determined by alliance activities. The Citadel structures can be deployed by an individual or corp, so where does that leave vulnerability windows? An individual or corp can't set a vulnerability window, is this likely to change?
Sorry 2 things; As these are replacing stations and outposts in sov space will they ever include an ihub type mechanic so a corp could technically take sov. Just seems a bit odd an individual or corp can establish a citadel but not gain any benefits of living in the space. Or will personal and corp use be restricted to un-stationed NPC and Wormhole space?
My opinions are mine.
If you don't like them or disagree with me that's OK.- - - - - -

Well, okay - do whatever. We'll see.
From very simple reason. 95% of players will just say "it is not worth it"
This is game , and in many cases it can be already threated as a second job. CCP needs to find balance.
Look at this from this perspective. You have 80bil on in a citadel - 10 freighters of stuff , and 20 carrier loads (fitted ships) , you go for holiday / to hospital / your computer dies ... and when you login after a week you have nothing.
What CCP propose is already to annoying , think that under new system you will need to move all this stuff from some debris cloud. I moved 95% of my stuff to NPC station. When CCP will decide that NPC stations can be destroyed and someone will do it , well this will be my last day of subscription - i am not the ~all day logistics~ type of guy, like many people that i know.

You do realize that the planned structure overhaul is actually MORE friendly to 'not every day' gameplay than current POS's? They'll have multiple timers rather than the single strontium-based timer. Nowhere in EVE are you able to deploy structures for indefinite periods of time without checking up on them every so often. With POS's right now, if people have been watching your habits in a wormhole and waiting for the right time to strike (say, when you go to bed), you'd wake up to a reinforced tower, incapacitated guns, and access to almost nothing other than your ship maintenance array. You'd then be aware that you have x number of hours until part 2 happens, which could mean as soon as six hours from when you next logged on, depending on your habits (if you only log on after work, for instance, and put 36 hours of stront, making you choose: do you want your pos and alarm clock to defend it, or get a good night's sleep?). With the new structure mechanics, you would only be vulnerable during your playtime, and you'd have MULTIPLE timers with which you can respond to the assault. Will a coordinated eviction attempt put you at great risk? Always. Unless the enemy can respond to your vulnerability window reliably, though, you're actually safer this way.
What you are missing is that the current system requires a reasonably large force to 1) tank DPS. 2) apply DPS. Under the new system it requires 1) A ship with an Entosis link
That's it.
So yes, while you may have multiple reinforcement timers/periods, the attacks do not have to come from a single party. How many times have POCO timers been acted on in wormholes just because someone flying through sees the timer will go off in an hour? Your structure vulnerability window plus the minimal requirement to attack it will near guarantee that it is attacked very frequently if you are not there during each and every window to defend it with an active player in each and every structure in your system. And those attacks won't come from the same party each time, it will frequently be attacks of lolopportunity primarily because there is also no other reason to do it because any assets present during the attack are safely put into containers.

Citadel defense systems sounds like a pandora box ready to be opened. I would be happier if you guys knew what to do wtih the contents of the Citadel when they are destroyed for example. A cool idea would be to allow the Citadel to have emergencies pods that would scatter its contents around the system inside a cloaking field.

Thinking about the original function you were working around "office and market hubs", or similar to Gallente Outposts now, how much thought has been put into the actual purpose of offices and potential changes there?
With the "death cloning" change, one purpose for offices is now gone. The main advantage now is a corp hangar. Some corps really benefit from this, others don't.
One area where it's a huge benefit is sharing blueprints among multiple industry characters. The contradiction is, assuming the Citadel office bonus will be number of offices like Gallente Outposts now, it can often be difficult to find enough office space in an industrial bonused station. |

Have you asked yourself , how much "fun" you will have picking this up and moving to your new staging / living point? Wherever you live , you accumulate tons of stuff , to much to move. When i look at my assets i need to scroll for quite long time just to get list of stations where i have something.
Just before jump changes hit i moved 15 full freighters of stuff to NPC stations , and burned 1mil of fuel on a carrier just to move fitted ships.
Ask yourself what will you , or any one else do if after some holidays , first thing you need to do is to gather 10 freighters of stuff because people attacking you did not have holidays in this period.
You cannot call some place home without ability to keep most of stuff in this place.

I did not read every post until now, but I read all Dev post. Looks like to me that several people are in doubt between the choose of an Outpost or the new Citadel.
Would be possible list the differences from one to another? Like price, numbers per systems, customizations, etc. I think this will enlighten people, and stop question like GÇ£why should I move from the safety of an Outpost to a destructible Citadel?GÇ¥ |

So there will be no such problem anyway.
However if you look at sov-0.0 space you will see that since Outposts were implemented this 'wild, dark and unsettled' space became filled by these indestructible beasts. Just for past month players have built and installed 5 new outposts. Check dotlan for details. Stuff MUST BE destructible else you will have no free space in the game after some time.

Are these going to be able to do reactions? or are they essentially just the pos equivalent storage hub? Ultimately, it will depend on which kind of Service Module you fit on those structures. Want to do reactions? Fit the reactor module. May not be the best use of a Citadel though, since structures will have bonuses to specific fields, like ships, and Citadels will be bonuses towards defense, office and markets.
Do Citadels differ in shape based on the current fitted modules ? I mean not big graphical change but I mean if I warp to Citadel from the look of it I can know what services can do from its look ?

I totally agree about this. Thats why i suggested more than once that only thing that is indestructible anywhere are NPC made stations. We are talking about 1 or 2 stations per region.
You cannot also deny that if you cannot live somewhere without having tons of stuff there. This is a game, when you know that you need to move it - you will do every thing possible to do it, but again this is a game. Sometimes you cannot do it because RL is more important. Current situation leaves you with trapped assets , new situation will leave you with tons of stuff you need to move. Now will you spend a month moving this stuff using cloaky transports or just find another game where you can have fun for this and next months - this is the real question.

And this is probably why CCP would rather have the structure defences only work when there is a defending 'gunner' to man them.
'Capture the Flag' is a fine game mechanic that may well work - but only if both 'teams' are actually playing - NOT, however, if the 'defender' is: at work; on holiday; 'playing' RL; being a parent; has their PC break and not have a handy spare; etc; etc.
It would seem that the future desires of players to have their own semi-permanent 'big' structures will only be possible if they actually join/ally with a significant number of other players that can commit to having someone always available.
Plenty of things in EVE for solo and small group play - but perhaps not Sov-owning; or L & X-L permanent structures. I could, potentially, understand this.

Yes our current thinking is that you can access personal storage from the structure by being within docking range, same as POS.

I'm not sure if this was answered before, but will these Citadels have, at a minimum, storage like current NPC stations for storage of personal items, ships, etc. without the cruft of POS permissions that exist today? Or will we get some kind of modified POS/SMA/CHA/PHA type setup? |
