Player Features and Ideas Discussion

As a solo multiboxer with a couple small corps I would like to see a smallish structure, not as large and expensive as an engineering complex but bigger with more features than a Mobile Depot. A place to dock my ships, refine my ore with maybe a repair shop and a market. Fuel requirements would be minimal and auto-weapons for defense when the structure is unmanned, or maybe even a special structure cloak to keep the place hidden while the owner is away or offline. Think chasing the high dollar ores in null-sec, haul it in with a big blockade running freighter, unload then anchor in a safe spot, do what you need to do then when ready, shut it all down, load it back on the freighter and go elsewhere. I'd like that.

So you want a citadel that shoots back automatically and is invisible when you're not around.

Try a POS / Astrahaus.

Ah I think I got you, you are not capable of funding an engineering astrahouse with your level 2 mission income and you want something cheaper.

How about no?

not even close mate



by the end of the year if we are lucky we will have the drilling platform at most. We are still a long way from getting rid of POS. we still need major structures like the research lab and minor ones like gates(replacing jump bridges)

O.o no... no there is not one of those

No, I don't want a citadel, I want something cheaper, smaller and yes, automatically shoots back and is cloaky. The POS things are on the way out (so they say), the complexes cost too much and really don't work for me and what's wrong with wanting something that fits my game play anyways? It's the Players Features And Ideas Discussion Forum and this is my idea. CCP can nerf the thing so maybe the cloak has a timer, the guns quit shooting if somebody forgets to feed the fuel hopper and the skill sets take a while and cost like the dickens. But this is what I'd like to see happen, and I doubt very much that it will, but hey, if you don't ask then they can't know what you want.

You don't want a citadel, you want something smaller, cheaper and better in every way?

no.

The problem with introducing cheap mobile and powerful structures into the game is their non intended use as mobile staging structures for large fleets. The game is already upside down with asset safety. WW-bee already proved the smart play is to not engage and pick your stuff up later.

Having these new nomadic..... err mobile staging structures would just turn SOV null into an epic game of whack-a-mole for large player groups. Use nomadic structures to roll into a region and clear it out (no one fights back, because... why would you???). You put up your citadels and the next large fleet rolls through and clears you out. Rinse and repeat. Until folks just get tired of it and settle in to run incursions until eve finally collapses.

I just think it would be a bad move (big picture) for the game to provide an easy mode for invasion fleets right after you put space magic asset safety into the game. I see the norm as logging in to a bunch of hostile... I mean nomadic structures in your space and just logging out until your stuff shows up in a LS station. NOT the recipe for epic space combat.




If elected you would support possibly altering the SOV null in a large way, because you don't see the big picture. You have to look at all the possible uses for things, not just accept ideas as they are laid out for you (hint: Eve is full of devious folk). An example of this poor line of thinking is when the mass/range idea in WH space was lobbied for. The flyer said "Capital kills for everyone" and reality said "No one will use caps on WH anymore".

So basically Rorqual 'Lite'?
