EVE General Discussion

Asset safety isn't that much of a problem for alliances in Nullsec and J-Space, I think. People are used to loosing stuff stored in POSes anyway.

However, where are citadels supposed to go? If CCP wants to see free for all market hubs on player run citadels, then asset safety is crucial. Just assume that a thousand players from all kinds of corps and alliances have stuff in the market and in their hangars on a citadel, and this citadel gets attacked and destroyed. These neutrals won't all know what's going on, they may not even login in time to see there's something wrong with the citadel. And if there's a good chance that they log in to the game just to find their favourite market hub has been destroyed and all their stuff is gone, they won't ever use citadels for that in any meaningful way and stick to NPC stations forever.

If anything I'd say, keep the asset safety in NPC Null, Low and High, where NPC stations exist, so citadels can become a realistic alternative to NPC stations, and remove it in Sov-Null, because at some point there will not be any more outposts there and alliances will have no choice but to use citadels.
