Well. I see your point, but I presume you are meaning that you need to start fueling stuctures that replace outposts as nothing is chanhed for the stations.

Also, in the other hand. There will be lot of people with e.g. medium Citadels who don't need to fuel them at all! So it's so much easier for them compared to current POSes.

Also, if you want easy XL citadel to replace your outpost, don't add any services to it. Whow. no fuel costs...

Note also that getting and transporting fuel t your citadel can be content to others.

Lowsec citadels won't be able to cast chain lightning?

Edit: actually, there is some ambiguity here, since this picture suggests you can fit the doomsday outside of highsec, but this picture suggests it's nullsec only.

Clarification CCPlease.

Looking at the bonuses I'm wondering - Why would anyone ever deploy these in null sec or even low sec?

I thought the bonuses were there to help lure players to null or low sec - Yet according to this there is barely any difference. Also, seriously, who is going to field 150 man battleship fleet to kill an XL Citadel in high sec for the 2-3 hours a day during downtime.

My fuelblocks are ready!

To elaborate on the issue, currently nullsec gets up to 60% refines while highsec gets up to 52%. This was a critical change in revitalizing industry in nullsec. It was also absolutely critical to allow nullsec to actually use the ability to collect a refine tax: by setting the refine tax so that it's less than the nullsec bonus, there's no incentive to dodge taxes by compressing and exporting to empire like there used to be. Until this change refine taxes were basically broken, and will go right back to being broken - which is a problem as this is one of the "bottom-up" income streams that CCP has been trying to move alliances to instead of point sources like moons.

It both seriously hurts nullsec industry (and, the ship traffic involved in nullsec industry that builds content for people attacking nullsec), and seriously hurts the ability of alliances to recoup their citidel/drilling rig investments thorough taxes.

Seperately, allowing lowsec to get 60% refines, while Thukker Assembly Arrays (which were put into the game to compensate lowsec for not getting 60% refines for capbuilding) still exist is insanely unbalanced. Those would need to get removed or we're back to where it only makes sense to build capitals in lowsec.

As talked in slack, courier contracts are not going to work on release. There was a bit interation on ideas how they could be implemented. (e.g. thing what happens if citadel explodes while courier contract is on route), To me it seems that CCP want's to get these working at some point of time.

Do the Citadel EWar modules work on a single target or group of targets? For high sec it would be a simple as bring 6 to 10 logi and both ewar and DPS will be negated. Maybe that is intentional.

Currently a large POS can have significant ewar potential to counter a large logistics wing for very little cost in DPS.

Thanks for the reply.

Another question: adding 400 stront to the build reqs of fuel blocks increases the m^3 required to build fuel blocks considerably. Is this intended? I'd argue to lower the m^3 of stront, but that has knock-on effects with regards to siege, triage, and titans. Are there any metrics on how much stront gets used in a given time period due to POS reinforcement, across all of Eve?

What does the PI and Customs Office part of an XL office/market rig do?

Crap, forgot to remove that from the rig name from my evil master plan excel sheet .

Nothing for now, but we have future plans.
