this has less to do with CVA as a whole and is more about my personal opinion and history with the game.
i was there for the fortizar thing, got pushed off, i knew there was a dps cap so went to reship and quick body function and ready to get going 25 30 mins later , and im told its already dead. really?? are you kidding me?? no its dead.



I don't understand how anyone as engaged with the game as you purport to be could possibly be this oblivious regarding citadel mechanics this long after their release.

that is my experience defending a fortizar . so your telling me the citadel most directly related to current station cost and size is as easily killable as a current pos control tower even with a damage cap. and provi is supposed to give up their stations for these things??? i consider that **** just about.


Citadels are actually quite strong. Your defense fleet, even with the support of the citadel, was utterly stomped.

Your position is that, even though the other guys completely kicked your asses, they should have to spend hours... and hours... and hours... and hours... on painfully tedious, more-boring-than-watching-grass-grow structure grinding because you don't think it's fair that you lost? Roll


Now I want to know what happened because I sense a story.

i did not say that we should have won or lost in the end. i am saying that yes it should take you that long to vape something that big. its called willpower and member dedication.



Right, right - you just think it should be such a long, boring, painful chore that nobody would bother to blow them up out of sheer misery, and the need to do anything else in their lives except spend 12 consecutive hours watching Pornhub while their guns cycle Roll

Maybe you guys should have just done a better job of defending?

You had greater numbers and the fire support from the citadel, which is really not insubstantial.

I have to assume the problem was a mix of, "We tanked for lasers because that's all provi ever brings" and, "Oh, cool, they've fit for knife fighting."

you have the story, i started playing again after doing something else for a long time and i hear about our stations being made over into these citadel things, and thats my first experience with defence of a fortizar and it died as fast as a current pos just coming out of RF to a mainly subcap fleet even with the damage cap.
are you KIDDING me? a Fortizar costs as much as a station and appears to be the direct replacment for the current outpost lvl slot.
and it only has the equivilant HP of a current pos tower. how can you not see whats wrong with this?
and Mr LOL about outposts being not destroyable in the first place. if CCP was not going to keep their promise why did they ever make it in the first place??? we would not now be having this discussion, why would the game devs ever reneg on a promise of that scale is beyond me.

There's... nothing wrong with it. It's a result of the well-established fact that people ******* hate hours-long structure grinds.

Consequently, the defense model for Citadels is that, against any attacking force capable of destroying the citadel, you either defend it, or you lose it, because inherent-safety-through-boredom is garbage gameplay.

You didn't defend it, so you lost it.
