I think that would be acceptable.

However, I do mourn the loss of a bunch of frozen corpses spewing out of the destroyed citadel as an indication towards how much damage you've done. Assuming that citadels/other structures have the ability to fit jump clone services, could the jump clones so destroyed by citadel generate corpses? This way, that visceral feedback still exists.

Question: As a role player, what do I see as actually happening to my impounded assets? Are there NPC ships flying about that gather them up and move them, even in W-space? Is there some sort of hyperspace transport system that has my assets stuffed into it, and they cannot be popped out for awhile? Or what?

Read the FAQ doc they just put out. it covers that.

What can I potentially I dock in my Citadel?
Medium - Subcapitals
Large - Subcapitals, capitals (carriers, dreadnoughts, freighters, Bowhead, Orca), and the Rorqual
X-Large - Everything

I really like the way this is going, it has me very intrigued.

Could you please think about those of us in WH space. I would still have to log off outside of the citadel in my scan boat.

On a side note please do not limit asset recovery to only being delivered to a citadel that is built in the same hole. Thera, low sec, and Highsec are all options

to quote a previous post "Once again, w-space seems to be a bit of an afterthought."

While I would tangentially agree that "all your assets are safe" sounds far too soft for player-controlled null security space in a "harsh" game like EVE and I would strongly argue for at least a partial loss of assets, I'm not an inhabitant of said space, so I will refrain from discussing it heavily.

However, this is an enormous change in risk vs reward for wormhole space. Under current mechanics, any assets stored in a sieged starbase are guaranteed to be lost to the owners (minus whatever amount can be logged off, and even that amount will be fairly difficult to extract). Such is the risk of living in an enormously high-reward area of space.

In addition, no matter how you choose to explain "rescue convoys" for assets from k-space structures, there is practically no context in which "a rescue convoy can teleport your assets from anoikis to a station in new eden" can even sound borderline feasible, since at current unstable wormholes are the only way we can transit between these systems by capsuleer technology - and said wormholes are assumedly covered in layers upon layers of warp disruptors and hostiles.


TL;DR: "Rescue convoys cannot find a way to return to new eden from Anoikis space, so any items stored in wormhole space structures will be either destroyed or dropped as loot (50% chance)". Please.

So everyone docked can log off a few seconds before the station blows up and then log back in and warp off? I don't think that's the intended way to go about this either TBH.

Why would I ever want to log off in a citadel and risk coming back to a pod, when I can log off in space and know that I'll return in the same ship? Especially since I live in w-space, and the ship I log off in has probes and a cloak while my pod has none of those things?

Agreed the wormhole asset recovery system needs some work. The new system as proposed here is not fun. Neither of the options (building a new citadel in the old WH) or blowing up a citadel seems to be worthwhile.

A "recovery operation" type mechanic sounds pretty awesome to be honest. Something like an anomaly escalation spawn so when you right click a journal entry to "begin recovery operation" it spawns a site that you have a bookmark to but which is also contains scannable objects so it can be found by others (maybe after some shortish delay to give your recovery team a bit more advantage). So you control when you want to do this, but if your old system is occupied, the new folks have a reason to stick around, can scan you down, and fight you for your old stuff. Also, if you choose to simply abandon all your stuff, the objects should still appear in space and scannable for some period of time for other people to find if they want and only disappear forever if nobody claims them.

Here's hoping CCP will think a bit more on this.
