EVE General Discussion

I would hope not. Surely having the citadel of a war-deccing corp still be vulnerable after the war goes live would be a good thing.

I really hope not, EVE is harsh and there should be loss. Its not right that you can just tear everything down and dock up so you don't lose anything in a wardec. If you get a "griefdeccer" just ask for allies in the war there are plenty of people willing to help save your ****.

At the same time there's a lot things 'not right' about the current wardec mechanics, but that's been discussed in many other threads so I won't get into that again.

One positive thing is that, according to the current ideas, the defenders have a natural advantage when it comes to structures so at least there's that.

None of which matters when your small corp has no players online because there are only 10 of you in the corp to start with. Since the AI will sit there like a dead dodo and do nothing since there won't be any AI on these structures.
And a single frigate can just come along and destroy everything you own in 30 minutes.

Reinforcement timers if they even exist for the smaller versions also don't matter since once it's into reinforcement the Deccers have a very specific time they know they can force you to undock and lose ships or just write off the structure. So once it's into reinforcement cycles it's game over vs a Wardec corp.

Meaning one of two things has to happen. You have to be able to tear it down in half an hour of online time. Or all the assets in storage inside the structure must be perfectly safe.
If you want to force the structure to remain in space, I'm ok with that, but assets in storage must be safe.
If assets in storage aren't safe, the structure must be removable.
Otherwise any structure in highsec is just a pure wardec magnet and the game gets one step worse.

But that arent automatic. A small corp must have someone online during the attack or lose it. Its unfair that griefers get this advantage

But now there are specific windows meaning you must bring the dps enough for the window too. And um i really think that most mercs/griefers wont spend hours and hours and mindnumblying hours trying to take down a small corp POS/Citadel. Thats why these changes are being made, cuz mindnumbinly boring structure grinds.
But yeah if the griefers wanna bore themselves with my dickstar, so be it.

But anyways im just fed up that I wont be able to save my Citadel under new system if i get griefdecced like i can now. (Dickstars are BASICALLY INVICIBLE / too boring to take down)

Hense why i am saying that i should be able to save my Small Citadel from griefers like you currently can. Thats whst im saying bro

Don't mind the POS-equivalent turrets fitted on it with all the other EWAR.

You can. Kill the guy with the Entosis link.

From the Shake my Citadel blog...

As such they should:

Repel trolling attempts from a single player trying to capture them with an Entosis module
Act as force multipliers to deal with attacking fleets and promote asymmetric warfare (less defenders are required than attackers)
Have engagement inertia, meaning they require time to acquire and switch targets
Require support from defending fleets to successfully fend off attacks
