So uhh do I just not play for three days until I'm revived or what? Can I just jump back in after three days (I can already think of ways to break this)

My final suggestion.
Every capsuleer can have ADDITIONAL AMOUNT of WH clones. He can set clone - being docked at citadel.
Capsuleer can choose additional WH clone for possible respawn - only being docked at THIS SPECIFIC citadel.
Capsuleer can cancel possibility of WH respawn - always and everywhere.

Conditions for wh respawn: null timer, location in system with established and CHOOSEN wh clone. All other cases triggers normal clone respawn (hi, low or null systems).
Every wh respawn starts timer.

No jumps.

If you have items in an POS that was captured by another alliance, when the removal of Outposts begins, will your items be moved to an NPC station in Low-Sec, or will they be moved elsewhere?

I just read this saying that the cost of the BPO's for the citadels took a huge jump. The costs are now: 6B, 70b, and 1200b respectively. Is that true?

Question: What will happen to the existing Outposts??

So this mean that all the costs done to produce those assets is removed from the game?? Strange call... but i guess it's like that.

Yes the only one that has gone up is the keep

The rest look like they have gone up do to the market reacting to them. Everyone is buying the build mats up and few ppl are selling prices should normalize in less than a month after release

How does the drilling platform (you know the one that can refine better than a citadel) not fulfill your need a citadel gets 54%refine in hs that is 2%more than now and this is less than what the drilling platform gets you. The drilling platforms will also be cheaper than citadels. How did you watch the presentation and not pick up on any of this?

I am redoing my earlier damage critique post with the new stats on missiles and bombs.

Again, these are all with level 4 in all structure skills in a Fortizar citadel in highsecm on SiSi. The station has 2 ballistic control systems and 2 guidance enhancers.

Subcap Missiles

Anti-small: 144.4dps per launcher.

The damage from these getting a buff is nice to see, but the application concerns me. They have an explosion radius of 100m and velocity of 200 m/s. Presumably, these are intended for destroying frigates and destroyers, which are both easily capable of having a significantly smaller signature radius and a significantly higher speed than the missiles can apply to.

Against cruisers, they shouldn't have much difficulty applying the damage, but ~450dps against cruisers is lackluster for a military station, especially since it only takes a couple of T1 cruisers to put out more DPS and a bit of logi to outrep it.


Anti-medium: 481.5 dps per launcher.

Again, damage buff is nice to see, and it's nice that it seems to have gone the route I suggested with increasing firing rate instead of burst damage. Application seems to be okay too against cruisers and up. Despite this, a total of around ~1440 DPS with 3 launchers, while far better than before, is easily countered with just a bit of logi, and easily outshined by 3-5 T1 cruisers.

For a military station as costly as a Fortizar, that is simply too weak. It leaves it not only possible, but easy, to take on a fortizar without any casualties.


Anti-Large: 963 dps per launcher.

DPS from a single launcher is a bit higher than a T1 battleship, but that just means that it only takes 4 T1 battleships to out-DPS the Citadel. Total DPS from 3 launchers is ~2889dps, which can be outrepped by just 2 logi cruisers. Once more, against an actual fleet, the Fortizar would be incapable of even inflicting any casualties, never mind fighting them off.

═☼═☼═☼═☼═☼═

Increasing firing rate as a good step in the right direction, but they still need to be stronger. I still think that they should serve more as a c onstant stream of DPS than burst damage, and said constant stream needs to be able to break through logi, otherwise the Citadel can't even kill a single ship in an attacking fleet.




Bombs:

Anti-Small: 1200 burst, 60 dps

This is just silly. it's such a tiny amount of damage, T1 frigates can tank it with no difficulty and be repped up without a second thought, Never mind that the 100m explosion radius application means that its damage will be reduced by the fact that frigates are smaller than that. it's just a negligible amount of damage.

The firing rate of bombs should be majorly reduced, and the damage should be huge. Seeing a bomb launched from the Citadel should be a major "oh ****" moment. It shouldn't be enough to burst things off the field, but it should be enough to cause a big chunk of damage that would make the logi scramble to heal everyone that was affected. Perhaps even have it cause enough damage to clear the ship's main layer and bleed a little bit into the next, depending on the fit.


Anti-Medium: 4000 burst, 200 dps

Again, this is silly. 4000 burst damage every 20 seconds is insignificant to even a T1 cruiser. it's less than 10% of its HP, and just gets more and more useless as the attacker's ship size goes up.

As said with the smaller bomb, seeing a bomb launch should be a source of fear for the attacking fleet. It should have a harrowing effect, the attacking FC should be keeping track of how much longer until the next bomb launches so they can maneuver. It should drive the enemy fleet to reconsider blobbing so that they don't all get caught in the blast. It should cause a major amount of damage that makes the logi panic and scramble to get everyone repped up before the next one hits.

═☼═☼═☼═☼═☼═

As with the first critique, I think bombs should be for a huge amount of burst damage but have very low DPS due to reload. It should be near impossible to attack a Citadel with zero casualties, even if you win the fight. With how the Citadels damage output is, you end up not being able to kill anyone when there's logi on the field.

Burst damage of missiles should be low, with very high DPS. Burst damage of bombs should be exceedingly high, with very low DPS.


Maintaining that Citadel E-war needs to be AoE, including warp scrams and webs. Jamming or painting a single target doesn't mean jack when you're defending yourself against a fleet.

I won't be commenting on fighters, because I haven't had an opportunity to experiment with them.


EDIT: I would also like to add that it would be better for the Citadels to be a bit overpowered at first and nerf them, than for them to be too weak and buff them. because of the cost and effort of putting them up, it would be much more forgiving to ahve them be too difficult to kill than be too easy to kill.

Right now, a Citadel can't even out-DPS 4 tech1 battleships. A military emplacement should be far more powerful than 4 battleships that are a minute fraction of the cost, and are mobile.

Why? The citadel is only supposed to be an advantage not something to fight the battle for you
