We were wailing on one the other day and once we reinforced it, it filled our cap and repaired the heat damage we had sustained shooting it.

Now thats service.

Also the the "no jump clone timer" for changing clones in a citadel is really nice. I am sure this will increase my usage of the more specialized implants, when flying a ship that benefits from it and then immidiately switch when flying another ship. When logging you just switch back to your training clone. I really like the citadels, and despite all the whining they are relative safe if you are an active midsize alliance.

Untill the hype of kiling them, has gone away probably not. But they will be a some point. Untill then if you want the benefits, be sure you can defend the citadel. But I personally have also never had any problem with that certain content is optimized/primarily for groups in a MMO. And don't start with the "but but...CCP promised...I could solo...". Technically you can deploy your own citadel alone. So they kept that part, that you are not able to defend it against greater numbers is not their problem.

Please don't start putting words in my mouth or mis-quoting me... If you don't understand what I wrote then ask for clarification... My point was that Citadels were meant for groups that could protect them (which you stated). No where in my twelve-word post did you read me saying "CCP promised" a damn thing. Geez

OMG. A post simply entitled "Citadels".

Came expecting an in depth overview.
Left with yet another Hallmark card sentiment.

I wish we could use carriers to protect hi sec citadels, even if they couldn't use the gates to leave the system. Just sounds fun to me.

Translation: Everyone can build one of these regardless of where you live or if your a big alliance or a single person. They have less restrictions on placement so basically everyone could have their own personal "station". However, being able to defend it is another story.

well only in some cases. If they are bringing more attackers than you can gather defenders, they are bringing greater numbers. So two would only be greater numbers if there are one or zero defenders..... I have no idea what your point is though?

Two battleships can by the way not kill a citadel if they are blown up before they deliver the required damage.
