hello CCP and EVE community

i got simple question about super capitals and Citadels, please take your time and give me an answer.

I have small corporation and basically all members are my alts. I have a titan and mainly use it for bridging frieghters. Citadel gonna cost 70 bil., right .... I understand I don't have any chance defend it against big group of pilots. And I will be a perfect target, right? Buy mercenaries to defend? I could, but mercs do stuff one time, they can't watch some citadel 24/7 they don't care.

Do this new citadels are end of small groups like me having super capitals? Should I forget my accs with supers for this time?

Thanks for answers!

In context of magic fedex (or slowdex) fairy saving everyone's assets in case of the citadel's destruction I understand why you're doing this - but it feels so artificial it almost hurts.

So perhaps instead of single 10% "delivery" fee (in case of npc station) and 0% in own-station case: dedicate 10% - 20% or so of everyone's assets to the "loot pool" (that is 10%-20% per person/corp to keep things fair) that get dropped upon the station's destruction (regardless where the stuff would be delivered later) - and forget about any delivery fees ?

Don't unsub. Or move to a NPC station first. Seriously where do you people get off. You unsub in a POS guess how well that is going to work out for you? That goes for you JC as well.

seriously the level of entitlement.

More people have unsubbed from Eve than are currently playing, and in case you haven't noticed, current subscription levels are dropping. People unsub for lots of different reasons, why make it more difficult for them to want to return?

What? A titan hull is worth *more* than a XL citadel hull. They where never meant for solo play. In fact Titans where mostly Epean.

If you can afford a titan. You can afford a XL citadel. If not used the tether mechanic with a sitter as you do now. And you got at least a year before POSes are gone.

"oh what, I just came back to the game and have to pay 10% of my billions of assets in liquid isk to have it moved out of the space we're essentially being evicted from, i'll just go back to whatever else i was doing"

For someone who's so caustic, you're not particularly good at reading. He's talking about keeping stuff in outposts, which are currently indestructible. Most players who need to take a break don't jump at the thought of "oh boy I am looking forward to moving millions of m3 to a nearby system before I stop playing, that certainly won't kill my motivation to come back at some point." The problem I'm seeing is that they keep saying they want people to live in nullsec, and move out there, yet they seem to be doing everything in their power to make it more of an inconvenience to live there while providing no additional benefits.

With no 'asset safety', people will likely keep a bare minimum in null and have excess shipped to highsec. That's not really living in null, if you ask me, but that's what will happen.

actually they only purged triasl accounts that had never been subbed.

So what exactly happens with wormhole space here? Your saying medium citadels can't dock capital ships when generally even a C3 will have a carrier or two these days and maybe a dread for defense. So does that mean they get left in space and possibly outside a shield? Well I am sure that will help all those folks that like to steal ships because as we all know billion dollar starships have actually no security on who can fly them.

For a C3 corp a large citadel would be prohibitively expensive ... and supposedly those are the only ones that have certain services that a large pos can already provide in a C3. Your taking away an important aspect of gameplay for C3 folks and those who don't want to have to team up with larger game entities to play.

...and seriously come on.... these things can be destroyed and they drop all their stuff and then some towing service can be purchased to drop it off at the nearest station? Like that would ever happen in real life (yes I know its a game but this isn't World of Warcraft where you pop a magic save my stuff spell and are magically transported to safety),


Are all these changes really necessary? What exactly is prompting them? I understand the game needs to evolve at some point... I think it would be better to finish improvements that already exist and go into new areas like making planets capable of being owned by corporations and able to build populations and defense industries (micromanagement et cetera). Also the walking in stations could be finished.
