my google fu failed me so few questions,
1. a single player can run a citadel? it's like POS where you need loads of fuel etc?
2. can I anchor a citadel anywhere on the grid of a system? let's say somewhere far to the top or sides of the system?
3. does citadel shows on overview?
4. can one "hide" a citadel somewhere in space (MJD for few hours or just fly straight out for few hours far away?) so it will be rather hard to scan one down?

For miner industrial minded player,
reprocessing, research and maybe manufacturing - the medium sized citadel can work?

In general if you have a decent guide or video you can share link to it will be great.

1. Yes, if he is the CEO of a corp.
2. Yes, but at least 1000km away from any station, planet, moon, citadel, etc.
3. Yes, when they are open to dock for everybody (Freeport-Mode)
4. Not totally. Everybody can at least see a beacon with a blue square in space and a blue mark on your compass. I dont know, how complicated it is to scan them down, but i guess not very much.

Reprocessing yes, Research and Manufacturing not yet.

I hope that helps. Fly safe.

ok thanks! and one last thing, unlike POS I don't see any skills related to citadels.
any skills needed?

The skills needed for Citadels are listed under structure management on your market tab - they are seeded at all schools.

If you can dock at the citadel, it shows on the overview. If your internet bandwidth is slow, when you jump into a system, every citadel shows on the overview and the ones you cannot dock at show and then get filtered out. While this "information leakage" is probably a game bug, it gives you a count that you can get via other means.

Whether you can dock at it or not, the blue diamond (like green diamonds for anomalies) shows in space and lets you warp to the citadel. You might have filtered the blue diamonds out. To see, click (I'm not at my game computer so I can't check whether left or right clicking) the radial (the round thing with shields/armor/capacitor) on your HUD, things like anoms can be filtered out

On 4:

First off, the fastest ships are just MWD'ing frigs (usually a dram iirc, you can overwise MWD + snakes + links) and can reach almost 20km/s cap stable. You wouldn't use MJDs.

Even if you're going 20km/s it would take 3 months of travel to go 1au. Dscan is over 14au. You can't get a citadel to be out of dscan range in a WH without some secret deep safe methods.

Hello all,

Does anyone know when Citadels will offer manufacturing?

It isn't an announced feature.

Industrial Arrays, which are independent structures, have been announced for the Fall.
