I just hope they plan to phase out a lot of the existing NPC stations, in all levels of space. Converting existing outposts into XLCs is also a good start.

As long as they replace them with equally unentosisable NPC citadels.

NPCs control too much space, always have. 95% of EvE should be drone regions.

That's a very tiny Death Star…


If im not wrong the first deathstar was 120 kms wide while the second one was 160 kms not as big and there is also the fact that the deathstar is a sphere while the citadels are i dont know squares or something like that but its a start Blink


So they are not Death Stars they are Borg Cubes ?

Hoping the new citadels will be independently strong enough that there is no realistic way to entosis them other than with capital ships. Suddenly caps relevant.

It is as if a million XBox Live accounts, suddenly cried out... Lol

CCP Quant: Of all those who logon in Eve, 1.5% do Incursions, 13.8% PVP and 19.2% run Missions while 22.4% mine.

40.7% Join a fleet. The idea that Eve is a PVP game is false, the social fabric is in Missions and Mining.

I would be perfectly fine with that. However, I am sure some alliances would cry like hell, because carriers are expensive, or something.

All this BS crying about wanting to shoot structures and yet, there's 30+ MTUs outside jita 4-4 untouched

Therefore, Even when there are structures to blow up, you moan like merry hell.

Give it a rest already. You're fooling no one and the price of salt is in free fall.

The citadels have multiple timers.

Do they even have targetable guns? It looks to me like the guns can't be destroyed. Could be wrong. I don't think interceptors will be much use if the guns start shooting

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

It's because Jita MTUs breed like rats...

Probably won't happen unless CCP makes structure-mounted webs less powerful than they currently are.

As we start to talk about deathstar....

For me, the citadels is just a better POS and since it has some nice features it will replace the Outposts one day and everyone will be in a POS. Just try to imagine every outpost you know in null to be a large POS instead with a personal hangar and a "personal ship hangar". Here we go citadel.

Essentially I'd like this, except I wouldn't mind having visitors when I'm in cryo.

In fact I'd love to have my citadel be interactive content in EVE.

Things like trading, repairing, refining, manufacturing, being able to do NPC quests, and so on.

So while I sleep players can pop in and have a drink at the cantina and other fun stuff.

But the priority seems to be to make citadels destructible, rather than make them fun.

I'd like them to be destructible but only by the account losing paid status.

That way you truly do have a citadel, and if people want to fight you then they can set up nearby and kill travellers who use the citadel, effectively a siege.

And I wouldn't be adverse to a way of selling citadels, but the destructible nature means citadels are meaningless content to me.

If they put in indestructible citadels, they would be meaningless content for everyone.

To be honest they did look pretty exciting - they can have all sorts of interesting modifications that current stations and poses can't handle, and graphically they look great!

But then we found out that they won't defend themselves and they'll be subject to loltosis linking (which causes them to explode), so meh.

Considering that the content of a destroyed citadel will magically be teleported to safety, even in wormhole space the fact that they're destructible is already pretty meaningless.

Not really, it makes a huge difference, when the XL Citadel will give you a juicy kill mail equivalent to killing a Titan.

This would also be the catalyst to many fights as people defend / attack the citadels.
