Why can't I warp to book mark of decommissioned citadel

I've just decommissioned my citadel to move it but now my book mark doesn't work and I can't warp to collect it.

I fear it has now been collected by someone else because I haven't been to it since it was decommissioned but I can't get there to check.

Any ideas?

Are you using the new launcher?

Yes but would that make much of a difference?

Probably not, but you never know. Are you getting any error messages when trying to warp to your bookmark?

No.

If I click "Approach location" the ship won't move and ditto if I click "Dock".

There is no "Warp To" options.

Wait, what. Did you save the bookmark from the blue anom-like icon in space that the citadel has while anchored?

I had the BM saved by right clicking on the Citadel when it was active. It had been that way ever since I had the citadel setup because at the time the citadels did not show up in the menu to warp to.

So what you're saying is that you're within 150km of the bookmark. I feel like there's a piece of information missing here. Just in case, warp to a gate, alt+e, open your locations tab, right click the bookmark, click warp to 0.

Edit: also check your overview settings, and check for it on dscan.

I CAN'T that's what I'm trying to say. It makes no difference if I've warped out of system or whatever. When I right click to warp to I DO NOT have this option.

I ONLY have "Approach Location" and "Dock" no matter where in space I am. NEITHER of these options do anything.

There is no missing information I'm telling it as I see it. It worked on Monday when the citadel was operational but I tried it last night after it had been decommissioned and today and the same thing. I literally have no way back to the citadel and I think as a result someone's collected it.

First of all, decomissioning it takes a week. It's still being pulled down right now. That is, if you started on Monday. Bring a ship with combat probes and scan it down.

It has been a week which is why I was trying to warp to it to collect it. I started decommissioning it last Tuesday.

I tried scanning it down but I can't find it. Just a couple of POS and drones and ships.

Oh well.

Time to start over again.

Here's your problem. You bookmarked the item, and not the location in space. Had you bookmarked the location in space, the BM would still get you there. If the item you bookmarked is gone, then the BM has no target.

Petition CCP. Bookmarks should still exist and work even if the item that was bookmarked is gone. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to warp to a MTU location after the guy had already scooped it.


I suspect this will have something to do with the way citadels have been implemented as they are still pretty buggy. You should be able to get your citadel back

Bookmarks still work if you bookmarked say a can, or an asteroid, even after they are gone. Why would that be different for a Citadel?

Relog, Jump out then jump back into the system, attempt to warp to bookmark. If the issue is still there, before entering anymore commands, file a bug report THEN a Support ticket. The bug report will let the Bug hunters know there is a problem and they can shift code, the support ticket will let the GM's figure out if there's something they can do about the citadel

I say stupid things like these so people much smarter than me will jump in and save us all from what appears to be snowballing foolishness. Seems to work, eh? Blink

unless someone stole it, remember that once is decommissioned anyone can grab it.

That is true and I suspect that's why I can't scan it down but it came as a result of not being able to warp to the location in my BM.

What is it about Citadels that makes BMs different to EVERYTHING else in the game?

Like others have stated you can warp to the location of a no longer existent MTU or ice belt or asteroid or warp gate etc so why are citadels different? They shouldn't be different.
