Dev blogs and announcements
Shake my Citadel - Feedback
The work on new structures progresses and shows first result in form of "Citadel" type structures. Citadels are meant to be Office and Market hubs with proper defenses. Citadels come in different sizes (from small personal units that replace existing deployables to massive behemoths that can support even super-alliances) which then have different functionality such as docking of capital ships, improved defenses and more. More information about weapons and defenses for structures is available as well as some inspiring art work. Larger Citadels would be vulnerable during certain time slots via the Entosis mechanic. Check out the blog and the developer comments!
