Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So i just read the devblog about the Citadels. And I must tell you i am amazed! But there is a but :D
- In the current outpost construction system I warp in a 2484m long freighter and spawn an egg from my cargo, feed that egg with some yummy parts, push a button and wait for the egg hatch. From that egg a beautiful 52km long station will emerge and i happily dock in it. it kind of possible if i count in that the egg use the materials and construct the outpost in the spot.

- On the other hand if I understand well enough the new system i warp in with the same 2484m long ship spawn a hellish abomination what trough some ritual called anchoring summon a station 100km long and if I feel the urge i can shuffle it back to the ship. I know it's working with so many structure like control towers but that is only 6452m long and none can dock in it!
It is to me like putting **** back in the horse.

What Id like to see in the future is a construction fleet buzzing around a structure what will become a citadel or what ever.
Imagine that you have to build these monstrous structures with your own work not jut summon from the deep of the warp.

How ? You still need an "egg" a frame what you can carry to the site with a freighter but after that you need to lock it and use a high slot module (like remote repairer) in order to actually build it with the materials in your cargo.
The module has a building rate defined in m3 materials built in per second require a lock on the construction frame and materials in your cargo. The t2 version has a significantly higher building rate but higher capacitor usage.
The finished structure cannot be unanchored but can be deconstructed. with some optional losses in materials (if you blow up a structure you can get materials from it trough deconstruction of the derelict.

I thing it will open some nice game-play opportunity like realistic construction defending or raiding the construction fleet + without forged anchoring times if you can bring the numbers you can build a whole xl citadel in about hours instead of i don't know one day ?


What do you capsulliers think about it ?

It'd be cool if you dragged an asteroid to the building location and fashioned the structure out of that.

Then i might actually like that liquid... British nationality or not:)

But yeah it's magic, many lots of magics...

Yes they made it and they made a new forcefield effect but according the dev blog they are not interested in keeping the forcefield system alive. Why would they do it with the anchoring?
