Require them to use fuel for any operation, like fitting, hangars, weapons, shield, reinforcement. Require this fuel before the services can be fueled or activated. Require strontium for reinforcement.

There are corporations which do this. If you talk to your local mercenary corp I'm sure they'd be able to offer you a reasonable price for doing the job. The whole point of player owned structures is to create player driven content. The idea of offloading this to NPC's because you're too lazy to get off your fat arse and do it doesn't fit with that paradigm.


Moot point. I actually tried to rally some people up for it but the merc corps you mention kinda suck or want prices that are so exurberant they are completely and utterly unusable. And yes, there are wayyyyyyy too many citadels. All they do now is basically spam your overview and they're being used as placeholders to hold real estate space more or less for sale or investment.

O and inb4 "you can remove them from overview", yea, if you never venture out to low / null and never need to actually see them to know which one is which, otherwise no you can't. I would like to see them blown up just for this reason alone, not to mention the other reasons.

Just way too many of them, too much citadel spam, they're as bad as caps in null, if not even worse at this point.

This is a player driven game, not a game driven my NPCs or CCP. You want to see caps killing stuff...get to work. Build up your network of in game contacts, start a corporation, alliance, etc. Or join such an organization and motivate them to do this.

GIVE THEM FREAKING FUEL BURN. honest to god. I do wonder if the devs and half of CSM even play this game any more. Im pretty sure they just think they do. But they spend so much time in bureaucratic talking about this game they don't really.



tbh, this is something I've suggested.

Please don't assume that we're not talking to CCP about things just because we're not yelling about something in public.

Though the fuel burn I'd prefer isn't a flat cost. it's a minimum. So if you're running services, it doesn't increase your costs. Just sets a minimum.


was never happy with the reverse order of things with them, should have been x amount of fuel per hour end of, once fueled your fittings are limited only by cpu and power grid. just like a pos.

leaves them open to be used as unfueled no servive needed deployment points. cheap as peanuts too. which leads to them being deployed in the way they are. numbers will only rise i'm sure.

I don't get what this thread is about? If a Citadel is unused why does it bother you? If it does bother you why don't you kill it and make some isk?
