Title explains it all really. Sometimes i get the number in brackets telling me how many inside (even if 0), but sometimes i don't get a number.. Same distance / char etc each time. What am i missing?

At least one eye, maybe try using the one you still have?

On a serious note I have no idea.

Should see my brother, he decided against the mechanical eye and watching him do his hair is amazing.

For extra info it's only certain ones (one so far), have just checked another and it has the (0) on it..

0 is the counter when it has recently been different than 0.
No number at all is 0 when there have been 0 for a longer period of time.

Was wondering myself, this makes sense.

There was a discussion a while back about this issue, but damned if I can find it now.

The short of it is that if a Citadel has had nobody log in inside of it or dock in it since downtime, there will be no count on it. If you see no number next to it, you know that (1) there's nobody inside, and (2) it's been empty since downtime. If you see a 0 as the count, you know that the Citadel has had somebody in it since downtime.

"Since downtime" doesn't seem right to me, but have no solid experience otherwise. I'll have corpies keep an eye out. We watch things float in space doing nothing a lot.

If that's true it really goes against CCP's crusade against "free intel".

I thought it's related to docking rights?

No rights, no number?

I thought if you can see it on your overview (assuming you have 'show' what ever structure name it is, visible) you have docking rights.

That is correct.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......
