Test Server Feedback

They certainly give a defender advantage in a siege against an equally sized aggressor force, but the concern is whether they can be defended by solo or small industry corps in highsec in the face of the prolific wardec alliances.

It's fair to say that no, they shouldn't be able to, but then we are left with the issue of 100-wars a day style highsec with indy medium citadles dropping left right and center whether or not the small defence the indy corp can muster is doing its utmost to defend or not.

Currently, a pos can simply be unanchored before a war begins, and that ability is used daily. Not only that but when it's not used, it is still a known capability to everyone, and so acts as a deterrent even at times when perhaps the defender corp wouldn't have responded to take it down.

The difference now is that medium citadels will not be able to be taken down, the aggressor just has to scout the vulnerability timer, wardec the defender, and then the defender has no choice but to be capable of repelling a far larger and more experienced aggressor, and even if a minority of them managed to pull that off, it's still dozens of highsec citadels being reinforced a day from all the small indy corps who currently rely on unanchoring their pos and docking up for the week.

No, it isn't fun gameplay, never has been, but highsec war has rarely ever resulted in fair evenly matched fights.

Other than the citadel itself, nothing has changed, so on some level we are talking about how much it can repel by itself.

Once an attack begins, it doesn't end unless the defenders can stop all incoming damage for a set amount of time, it's not like they have to hold on for an hour and then all is good, they have to physically win the fight and take the grid, or the citadel remains vulnerable for as long as it takes the attackers to reinforce it, and there is no limit to the logistics the attacker can bring to make themselves practically untouchable.

I see your problem. You are using a Mac.

But seroiusly. There are a lot of things to fix on it. This release could be a big mess. File a bug report. And buy a second and a third citadel and try doublicate the bug. Maybe the second one works.

Currently there is a bug with Cits after going trough the anchor time, they get stuck at 0s. Seems like only a server restart fixes the issue.

Cits do not need to be onlined, there anchor time doubles as there online time as well. They do not require fuel to run either, only the services need fuel to run but the building itself doesn't.

... and some other Stuff doesn't work right
... and the Release Date is still April 27.
... and Fanfest comes in front of it

Man, i wouldn't wanne work at CCP right now.

You have to create a structure Profile first.
Business-Structure browser.

1. Now citadel weapons work just in Shedules time?
2. I create groups, add to Struct browser roles, etc. Just director can use Take Control. Any roles and groups dont work. Is that okey?

Would you rather they be so Strong small groups have no chance assaulting them?

I onlined my Medium Citadel Saturday evening (US TZ) and missed the anchoring zero countdown due to server being down and then logged in this afternoon to find my citadel has been damaged about 70% into armor. However, I didn't receive any notifications of any attacks on my citadel in my mail or popup and I have a repair timer sitting at 0s. Is this a known bug?

This has always been this way since SiSi has been around. Originally it was done as a means to protect sensitive information about what is happening around enemy POS's in TQ (since SiSi mirrors Tranquility). In a nutshell though, all POS's that were in the mirror from Tranquility disappear once mirrored to SiSi.



This has been happening periodically lately, usually gets fixed when the cluster gets restarted (which is happening shortly it looks like).

Thanks - I'd never noticed that before (in the very few times I went onto SiSi with the old methods).
