EVE General Discussion

I've not confirmed, but market prices have supposedly significantly increased since the blog.

We'll know more after Wednesday.

Those are the prices for the BPOs from NPCs.

That's not the price of the citadel 'egg'. The price for the citadels should be cheaper for the medium and large; and I think based on what CCP Quant said during the Fanfest keynote, more expensive for the XL.

Like I wrote in my edited post: "I can't read." :)



It will ring in the end of single man/ small corp POS's, going to be interesting to see where that leads to.

Running cost for the actual Citadel with no service modules fitted is zero.

Costs for the service modules have two levels, a start-up cost and a running cost.

The Market is 2160 blocks to start it up (on-line it) and running cost of 30 blocks per hour.

The Clone Center costs 540 blocks to start it up and 7.5 blocks per hour running.

The Reprocessing Facility costs 270 blocks to start up and 3.75 blocks per hour.

That's all we have at the moment, so far (subject to chage) there is no repair facility while docked so you can't repair drones etc, however the ship will get a free repair to fitted systems while tethered.

Yep, you're doomed. :)

Actually, when tethered, everything on the ship will be repaired. Including drones and burnt out modules.

OMG, CQ part II !

just been testing the citadels while your outside and teatherd you will be slowly repaired hull Armour shield modules AND capacitor.

Yep, repair is free when you undock or warp to citadel while Tethered.
It will repair all of items, burned modules, drones, shield hull armor, and recharge capacitor.

It's going to be a very busy week for Eve, us, and CCP...that much is very certain. It's also, for me personally and many others, very interesting to see what comes of these structures...both creatively and destructively!

One thing I'm feeling much better about hearing is what I gather is how it will cost the owner to build, setup, and maintain and operate a Citadel. From what it sounds like, the rather "ominously" large cost to getting a hold of one compared to say a lone POS and some starter modules is somewhat offset by the fact that the cost of maintaining in terms of fuel for instance is flexible rather than some arbitrarily set amount that you must pay regardless of what you intend on doing with your POS. The only way to do largely the same thing with a POS was to strip the tower and offline the bugger...or pay in full per 30 days. Allowing Citadel owners to online and offline services so as to balance the cost of operation with the impact of general functionality rather than having the POS' method of "pay, no pay" will help make the initial cost of manufacturing and setup easier and more financially manageable. I haven't really dug deep into the information of the Citadel changes nor tried my hand at them on SiSi, but I get the feeling from what others have said that the old "solo-POS" owners might not be so extinct when all is said and done. I keep hearing a lot of things from others that make me think, "Oh, that's pretty neat," more so than the few, "Well, that sucks," so I'm rather on the optimism side of things so far.
