Correct.

Correct.

The suggestion is obviously that citadels should have it if clonebay-less stations will.

Fair enough.

What does the "set home " command actually do, and why is it needed for Citadels?

Because as far as I can tell, set home makes your respawn point be that station should you get podded. What happens when the station is no longer in existence when you're podded? Hell, what happens to a character when the station that is your "home" explodes with you IN IT?

No, setting the station for a jump clone is fine, but you need a static place for your med clone to be stored.


On the other hand, I would really like it if we could set a buy order remotely to a Citadel. Right now, I can go to the station and set it up, but I can't do it from one system away. Er... why?

Some citadels already have clonebays, so that.

+1, this is kind of annoying.

I'd also like to be able to self destruct my pod in a citadel.
