I've never seen Citadel, I will never see Citadel.
In this case I would like the developer explain how it is an improvement of the game for players or if it's just for a minority of players who will benefit or if it's just to justify an update and do a nice video

Overview settings, under structure, tic the box next to "Citadel", fly two jumps in any direction.

So if you look at the reddit forums, or even in general discussion, you'll see that a lot of players installed a lot of these citadels, and they immediately got blown up. Which, for you, that means that the game is healthy and all that ore you're mining is really desirable because they want to build more citadels with it. And also, when you tire of high-sec and want to join a corp, you'll find that they're all looking for pilots because they need more people so they can go blow up their enemy citadels.

This game is player-driven. The market is players. Without constant wars and PVP, the market goes to **** and nobody enjoys the game anymore. You should be excited whenever CCP releases new things that can be blown up, because everybody suddenly finds something to do, some reason to play.

High-sec is like being a peasant in a village that's currently housing and feeding the king's army.

What do soldiers do when they're bored? They harrass the local populace. As soon as there's a war, all the villagers cheer because the soldiers will be moving off to go shoot some other people in a far off place.

Citadels are AWESOME reasons to go to war. All the high-sec gankers are moving off to kill themselves some citadels somewhere.

That's how it's affecting you.

If you live in HS, the only way to not see a Citadels is to just never warp to one. They are everywhere.

FC, what do?

At that point in time you must be very very careful. Because when the soldiers run off to do something else that is when Trogdor comes by to burninate both the countryside and the peasants.

I'm not sure why you would say this.

I am one of the biggest carebears in the game and I've lived in null for years now. Even if Citadels were null sec only there is no reason that you can't go to null sec except your choice not to. And if you choose not to experience some aspects of the game how is that the Devs fault? Also since when do the Devs have to check with you before they develop new stuff to make sure that you will use it?

I understand that Citadels will eventually replace all stations. Even if that idea was nixed, player Citadels will eventually appear in HS and many speculate already about them displacing Jita and other NPC hubs. So yes, if you continue to play eve, you will see citadels. They are super expensive and require many resources to build, so they will take a while to displace other stations.

In eve everything affects everyone. I don't mine. But when a new mining ship comes out, that still affects me in one way or another.

Citadels are huge and expensive. Thus they create conflict, which is the point of everything in the game--improve player options, and create player conflict.

This is a sandbox. Devs give us tools. If you don't like to use a shovel, or if you can't afford an RV on the beach, that doesn't make it someone else's job to justify to you your lack of interest. But to think that anything the devs put out won't affect you means you don't get EVE at all.

Also, this isn't exactly a NQ&A type question. It belongs in GD where we can tell you how we really feel.


- edit - ahh Citadels are apparently already in HS. Go figure.

The devs of CCP, like any other game, will keep improving the game for both new players and the more experienced ones. It's obvious that the Citadels are the next tiers for the veteran players, and it also gives the new players something to stride for. And to be frank, with the addition of skill injectors to the game, there is no reason why a new player should feel like this isn't within his grasp to achieve.

Not everything can be in a new player's hand day one, or day five.

Don't know why adding Citadels is such a big deal.

. They're the first step in erasing POSs (which was a necessity) and to expand space structures beyond POSs (which is cool)
. They're conflict drivers
. They make a significant difference in any territorial-based PVP (staging out of a Citadel is a big deal), especially in wormholes
. Most people love to build big shiny things

Those are all big points for a large part of EVE's playerbase (in all space: high, low, null, wh). Some won't care all that much, but that can be said of any big feature.

Also, it's true that they impact more the conflict and player-vs.-player-interaction side of the game, but that will always be the core of EVE's gameplay. Other MMOs probably do PVE better than EVE, few do PVP as good as EVE does.

Make space glamorous! Is EVE dying or not? Ask the EVE-O Death-o-meter!

You must be living under a rock or in an empty WH ... Citadels are everywhere, especially in highsec. Beside the profit opportunities, this expansion brought a huge QoL improvement for me, as I'm now able to switch clones multiple times a day without cooldown. Big smile

They are the next step towards a completely player driven world. Devs have already expressed their vision that EVERYTHING will be built by players. Stations, skillbooks, and eventually, even the gates.

So look forward to the day when gates become destroyable objects. That day is now closer.

Thx all for your this informations.
I will try to find a Citadel and enter inside if possible because I do not even know if it is possible to enter inside.
I'll also watch the impact on sales of ore because I had seen no difference and I feel that trade put.
You say that the citadels are everywhere in HS, I am very surprised, who built them?
CCP had distributed only a few very rare BP and in addition this required huge amounts of resources.
CCP does an important job, but lately I've mostly seen enthusiasts do things for other enthusiasts and forget that there are also new players.
It seems quickly forgotten that the economic model of the game it is able to live thanks to new players.

Nope! That works in any citadel. I think that both clones must be in the same citadel though.

I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!
