Has CCP released any information as to what and how much we are looking at to build them? I mean these things are going to be huge so I am expecting its going to be like 10bil-20bil depending on size. is it going to be all PI or minerals or everything?

Would like to see some response from CCP on this to help keep some of the trolls under their bridges.

*looks at dev blogs, see no info on yoru question*

nope

Now for a non troll answer, in slack chat (which you should join btw) they have not finalized numbers. they asked what we would pay for the hull. some numbers got randomly thrown out

to give you an idea on cost, a fully fit XL citadel, with service mods and rigs will cost close to 100b. (note not final in anyway, as there is NO official info as of yet for how much anything will cost or what is needed to build.)

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Hopefully an isk sink is part of that to pay for staff and stuff things.

which is one of the main reasons why only the mega large coalitions will be able to build them. I see that as a waste of isk honestly. cause you build one.. it gets destroyed then what?

ccp is acting like these things can be built, blown up, and replaced over night like a frigate.

its not opened to everyone, it only helps the 1%, and there's just too much risk involved (like asset crap safety) thrown in to make these things not even worth going after.

So who's going to be the 1st fool to build one of these things, then place most of his eggs in the basket just to watch it blown up and wait another month or so building another ( will these things have insurance?? of course not).. over and over again..

ccp is detached from whats going on in the game.. they break something just to have job security fixing it over and over again. then they call those fixes "content"..

they need that wake up call, this game is bleeding numbers so bad right now that even a newb can see it.. there were less than 15k active players online last night.. is this game on life support?? one must ask these questions.

thats just the XL. the m and large ones should be less. the point of the xl is for alliance and coalition use, where as the m and l are for corp and personal use.

Didn't they hint at the large Citadel being similar in cost to a current POS setup?
And the XL being like the current outpost cost?

Why don't you just leave the game and these forums? You must be a very dedicated masochist staying around while you are enduring so much pain from the awfulness of the game and its community.
