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.



Yes you can online and offline modules, but you won't save anything at all, in fact it will be much more expensive in regards to fuel costs.

Problem being that every time you do it you'll have to pay the onlining fuel cost again for each module.

But if you dont intend on using a module for like 1 year, you would save a bunch, wold you not?

Also, will defenses require fuel?

Far as I can tell with current market price citadels will be considerably more expensive then CCP anticipated.
