Like the initial post as I never saw it.

There's no obvious reason this change should be made and you've provided none, let alone any supporting evidence.

The only reason for making this change would be if Citadels needed some kind of significant nerf, which doesn't appear to be the case at all.

HS mercs don't really care about that since they base off NPC station which can't be disabled.

OP won't care if the system would be broken since she does not have to deal with the bad part of it.

I see, your problem with this is obvious. You don't have enough folks in your organization to cover the space you claim you own properly. I would suggest that if this keeps you awake at night the perhaps you should look into joining a larger alliance. I think that would alleviate your concerns. I believe some of the larger alliances have over 20,00 members. Surely that would be a large enough number that you would no longer be concerned about waking up to everything offline and useless. If 20+ thousand players aren't enough, perhaps several large alliances could band together into a coalition of sorts.

It's only good for the attacker though, for the defender it's something that they can't reasonably defend if it isn't tied to the same safety timer as the rest of the Citadel, and if it is then it's pretty pointless. On top of that Citadels are completely different from Outposts since they exist in Low and High Sec and are going to be owned by *much* smaller entities than the average Outpost. They're not even like POSes which could defend themselves against small groups fairly easily without any player interaction.

You would need to completely change Citadels, in ways that would likely push out smaller groups from using them and either make them inviable as POS and/or Outpost replacements, in order to make something like this work from both the defender and the attacker perspectives.

If we really need something cheap and easy to harass to create content then lets create a Citadel size that's effectively between a Mobile Depot and an Astrahus, with no docking capability, but refitting, some decent HP, maybe a few guns, and a sizable but limited in-space storage hold. Essentially something filling the niche a Small POS does now but with some other trade offs in functionality and utility in exchange for not having to subscribe to the normal citadel weaknesses like showing on the Overview.

We both know the groups who would actually be affected by this are not 20,000+ member alliances. I assume you think my tag means I am incapable of seeing small groups as anything other than targets?

(Unopposed structure bashes are literally the worst thing in eve fyi. Encouraging more of them is really not a good thing, but if you like that kind of gameplay, fit an entosis link and go play with outpost services.)

This would bring content and more good fights.

not it wouldn't it would add more off time bashing and then a mandatory uncontested repairing
