Is it true that outposts will blow up after the update ? Is this why goons wont undock to protect theirs? They hope that all will be captured before the update and then the new owners will not want to blow them up preserving the goons assets for a later date.

Maybe i should get a new tin foil hat and restart taking the tablets.Big smileBig smile

Yea... That's what happens every patch! Something blows immediately!

While I would love to troll you, no I haven't seen anything that says Outposts will be removed or altered anytime in the near future.

That is subject to change at anytime though.

Outposts will 'DISAPEAR' and be refunded.

X-Large Citadels will basically be the Outpost replacement, with similar costs involved in their construction.

I din't read anything about what CCP will do with Outpost's content, I am assuming stuff will be moved in the closest NPC station.

Actually it is large citadels which will be equivocal to current outposts in terms of cost and functionality. XL citadels are purported to cost upwards of 120 bil for the hull alone and will allow tethering of super capitals.

All those Offline POS floating around on moons create soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much content.

Not.

If it's not going to get you a couple of billion a week, no one's coming for that offline pos. Allow those pilots online to hack offline pos and unanchor them, refine them and use the Minerals to build something else.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Nothing will blow up just by a patch (only by mistake, which I never heard of happened before). Though being able to manufacture POS and anchor outposts will be removed probably till the end of the year. I'm not sure what will happen with the existing ones.

Sadly Citadels will not provide any content for loot hunters outside wormholes and can only be attacked by massive fleets during certain periods of the week. They basically combine the benefits of starbase and outpost with almost no drawbacks.

Outposts aren't going anywhere for a good long time. Not until every single station service has a new structure, which will take at least another year.

I still think that once the time comes, outposts should just be made vulnerable and leave it at that. People can blow them up if they want and once one is gone it will never return. I'm also in favor for replacing a blown up outpost with a permanent wreck / monument as a reminder of olden times. Just removing them from the game is pretty stupid and big 'f*ck you' to the past 10 years of sov gameplay.

Permanent wrecks would be nice.

CCP has been quite vague how they will proceed, possibly they haven't even decided yet.

I'm gonna find a dev at Fanfest and pitch the idea to them directly. I'm guessing there's going to be at least one round table on the subject of structures and such.

Yeah, I'd like to have a little monument left too. There are a lot of dudes who spent A LOT of time and effort building outposts. They deserve some consideration.



EDIT: Maybe turn outposts into "abandoned outpost" sites with a little fluff about the security of citadels rendering player outposts obsolete.
