Thank you for taking the time to listen to the players about this. It's definitely moving in a good direction now and finally getting back to having to risk something of value while being on the offensive. With an XL structure being capable of housing Titans, Supers and all kinds of other lovelies, you better be ready to commit your capitals or fleet.



Undock in a Tier3 Battlecruiser, there be cormorant bits everywhere. Shooting it just pauses the repair, it doesn't restart it ( unless I read this wrong )

Or just have the station shoot back... Seriously why is dumb stations even considered a thing.

I like the concept, because it's EvE-like! ... now scrap the Entosis-links, because the reasons why you don't want to have them for structures also apply to sov.

Glad to see (tacit) acknowledgement that the Entosis Link in it's present form has failed, and I look forward to something more like this applied to the existing sovereignty mechanics. There probably is a place for Entosis in the game but not as a replacement for firepower.

A very good question.

I suspect the reason is this: what motivation is there to attack the structure if the contents do not drop? Then again, why would someone do that to a Citadel from High Sec to Null Sec as their stuff is safe as well? This spins it back to: WHY is wormhole space the exception to this?

Still haven't seen anything related to other structures.

Have you guys scrapped the plans to have various different structures of which citadels are only one type designed to be highly dependable? Are citadels going to be the only type of structure (essentially replacing POSes), defensible but highly customizable with no other stuff like market hubs or manufacturing structures or are citadels just the pet project getting all the love while other structure types are coming out and we might, eventually get so see previews of those in a devblog?

The way I see it, it's to try and make wormhole space different. But that's stupid, you can't just make something different for the hell of it, there has to be a real reason.

I for one, want the asset safety system torched and everyone's **** to be at some level of risk. This is EVE not candyland online. However, I know the nullbears and the like will spray salty tear hoses all over everything if their precious stuff is at risk at all, so that might not be feasible from a monetary perspective.

However, it needs to be fair. Either everyone's assets should be safe, or no one's should. All this will do is depopulate wormhole space since it will be the only place your assets aren't safe. Who's going to want to live there? You could just live in null and do day-trips from your nullsec citadel with its magical bowel evacuation system.

Best solution, dev's tell the nullbears to harden the **** up and make all citadels drop loot.
Second best solution, make everyone's assets safe and deal with having little incentive to attack anyone's towers since you can't crack it open for its tasty innards.

But this? This isn't a solution at all. This is a huge steaming turd dropped on the wormhole community. This incentivizes people to attack us wormholers for our stuff, and NO ONE ELSE, since their stuff will be safe. Wormhole space will die a slow and agonizing death if this goes through. No one is going to want to live in the one place in EVE where their stuff isn't safe in a station.

This all sounds thoroughly sensible and should lead to some interesting fights all over New Eden.

Ok, so using an entosis link or shooting it really means about the same thing to me (sit in spot X doing Y for Z amount of time), however the fact that this mechanic still seems to be mostly intact is foreshadowing to the capital changes. It almost seems as though it's being kept around for the sake of the classes themselves, which means to me that the changes are going to continue to revolve around massive amounts of HP abilities (damage, hit points, and repair), which I thought was the biggest separator and cause of imbalance for the largest of ships. Needing to create special rules and exceptions and discouraging certain interactions because of the vast differences. I really just took a blow of confidence in the changes themselves, and I'm hoping I'm just overthinking this.

Question!

Not sure if it has be said or asked.

Will Citadels still get guns/ewar? As while not really a threat to large fleets. They do put hurt on anything trying to troll it.

Or

If mooring is gone what happens to supers/Titan docked inside the Cit?
