So ships and items will no longer drop from structures in wormholes? I think it would be more sensible if only part of one's assets was delivered to some NPC station/other citadel while the other part dropped directly as loot.

Also, what is the lore behind assets magically appearing in another station? I liked the idea better, where personal assets were ejected in containers during destruction which needed to be picked up by individual players ... content and all.

Will the roles to recover from PW'd cans be different, IE a higher level, from the access roles?

Other than the restriction regarding which kind of items can be recovered by different kinds of citadels (i.e. docked titans can only be recovered to other X-L citadels) is the volume or value also limited to certain sizes?

As mentioned in the example, could the corp that lost their X-L citadel just create a M or L citadel to get back everything but the Nyx ? Even in the example used, a new (unrigged) X-L citadel would be cheaper than delivering everything to LS.

Ugh. So personal assets and ships get magically transported to another station or system upon destruction?

Seems pretty soft and not at all what I have come to expect from EVE Online.

Everything should spill out into the system in thousands of pieces and at thousands of ms.

If you don't want to risk losing all your stuff, don't put all your eggs in one basket and always keep hold of liquid isk to start again.

Sure if you can rebuild in system, or already have other structures still remaining. That is sort of the point of using this option.

I second that.

Considering that you have to pay a fee or pay to erect a new citadel (and deal with the thing that killed your previous citadel), I'd say it's a significant increase in penalty over the contemporary system where assets inside an outpost are completely safe forever.

I live in a C5. How would my stuff be safe exactly?

I have next to **** all in NPC stations. Besides, as hinted in the Dev blog. NPC station arn't going to be there forever.

There is very important thing.
In many cases nearest NPC space is not a lowsec but NPC null space.
Unless you want for Esoteria residents to pull back assets from aridia , instead from stain.
I really hope that you don't plan to make NPC stations in NPC space destroy-able.
This is totally different play style , and can ( and will ) be abused to keep all NPC groups totally incapable of doing any thing.

NPC null space is almost like lowspace - but no gate guns , and you can use dictor bubbles.

Next thing is vulnerability windows, that again for NPC null space will be the worst possible.
You cannot get any indexes up.

How this can be abused.
Depending on costs od structures, i see possibility to move large quantity of assets 100% safe to low space.
It will be 10% tax ( that quite often is lower than cost of moving some materials by JF) , and the cost of small citadel.
Players will abuse it.

Next thing - remember to always UNDOCK citadel before logging off - do you really want this?
This way you will not lose ship you are sitting (eg : carrier filled in most expensive ships)

But devs clearly compare it with Outposts and NPC stations, while this is more like next-gen POSes.
