I'd accept the sun too, but really at star gates? It just makes the game feel cheap. Most carebears are setting up bubble hellcamps off gates now with their citadel. So when you jump in you've got to deal with the citadel and bubble rage cage and can't even go snipe a bear in an anom. :(

Working as intended, move along.

Edit - semi serious response:
You're complaining that people are actually defending their space?

Hopefully there's an iterative pass on Citadels after a few patches. Although it's pretty low prio, I bet. It just feels kinda like space is going to get trashed up with citadels on gate.

CCP failed to allow for 1000km drag bubbles in their thought process. Which results in an overly silly situation now and I'm quite sure they will correct it one way or another.

If they're only carebears, reinforce the citadel and make it cost them 2B a pop every time they try this.

They actually went out of their way to RESTRICT them to ONLY 1000km drag bubbles, so... I mean, you can disagree with their choice but you can't actually argue they didn't think about it.

They are putting a Citadel at risk, also it is being used as a force multiplier to assist in area defence, perfectly good use of a citadel IMO. If you don't like it go and blow it up, they are "carebears" after all...

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

There should be more ways to protect your space and rmake it your own, not less.

yes, citadels on gate grids shouldn't be possible since they allow safe gatecamps from 1000 km away.
Lets see how long CCP is going to take to fix this.

You gotta love that opening salvo of a whinethread about getting rekt by bears.

Shall we introduce a brand new Plankton class for Bear++ bottom feeders?

Yeah this makes me sad too. I demand you all take down all these bubbles and citadels on gates cause it makes my job much much harder!

Also, please don't shoot me and destroy my ship unless you honor my 1 vs 1 honorable combat request. Thanks and have a pleasant day.

OH, lastly do NOT drop super's on people that is just rude!!!!

Citadels have to be 1k off gates. So you're never gonna be blapped by one when you jump though a gate.

Ugh, bubbles are only allowed in NullSec, right?

If so, then Carebears in Null? That's a new one on me. Sounds like a bad cartoon title. Also, if null, then can't you cyno the system and drop a Cap Fleet in there to remove the Citadel?

I don't think CCP would allow something like this to exist if there weren't ways around it. Also, if you dropped a Fleet through the gate, wouldn't the Citadel be dragging in it's own doom?

I think I'm missing a lot of information here to understand what the issue really is. Then again, I'm a HiSec Carebear (Though I usually do have on my teeth and claws) and we are dumber than your average bear, maybe really dumb compared to our NullSec cousins...

Think OP's complaining about not having a scout / tactical bookmarks around gates, then getting his fleet dragged into bubbles at the citadel where it dies horribly.

Nullsec things, yup. Citadels have access to deadly weapon systems (point defense, mini-doomsdays) you won't find (I believe?) in highsec.

Still... how about not flying into the bubble maybe? Is this different than any other gaycamp?

I agree with the OP's statement but not for the same reason. Maybe I'm the only one but I hate seeing all the citadels in the system.(I mean physically seeing them) I can't throw a rock and not have to look at this terrible looking things. Some systems with a dozen or more is just gross. At least with the pos you had to go to a moon to see them. It feels like I'm in WALL-E flying through everyone's space junk.

The function and use of the citadels is fine by me. I just don't like seeing them.

So go slap them about, bring like two guardians and a couple of vindis and youre golden.
Unless they have a defense fleet but then you get a fight!
