So I was looking through the citadel stuff again, and am pretty excited about what I am seeing. And I was looking at a thread of people talking about what they think CCP should do to reimburse people for the old mods and blueprints once the new system came out, when I thought of something that I haven't seen yet.
What are they going to do with the faction POS (and POS mod) BPCs that you get from explo? I understand that the BPCs themselves are going to be removed from the game once the switch is done, possibly before to get people to switch over faster, but I was wondering if there are plans (or even if there should be plans) to replace the current faction POS BPCs with faction BPCs for the new system?
Personally I make most of my ISK by doing exploration, mostly in HS and low-class WH space at the moment, and am concerned with the potential loss of a drop that can worth a decent amount of ISK. On top of that I can see the addition of faction versions of the new Citadels as a interesting way to expand the way they work. Especially if they add new BPCs for the non-pirate factions of the game, I could definitely see ORE wanting to get into the market for those mining platforms or SOE and Sansha being the go to people for those Observatory arrays. This would also include the old POS modules being turned into/replaced with new faction modules.
So, thought, comments, concerns? Am I crazy thinking about this? Or am I blind and there is a 100page thread talking about this and I need to go there? |

I had intended on getting a POS in the near future but I too am wondering if it's gonna be worth the time to even buy one. And I am sure that the price tag of even a basic Citadel is going to be far beyond the price of most people's wallets to begin with.
I'm still in that stage of thinking it over yet but going to take a wait and see attitude in regards to this. |

Well even the Large Citadels have been stated as something that is "intended for solo and small groups of players" so I don't see them being that much more expensive than current POS.
Also I think that going ahead and buying a POS right now is just fine, it's not like there's a countdown of days or even weeks for them to be replaced, the new Citadels (and all the modules and things that go with them) aren't even on SISI yet, much less starting that "phasing in" timeline that CCP talked about. |

Worth using faction PoS now-a-days?
PoS in HS...worth it now? |

While interesting discussions, neither of those are talking about what I am. Those are talking about the use of the current faction POS structures being worth it with the new system coming out Soon(TM) |

While new Faction Citadels versions may be overkill due to Lore, or some other reasons, faction modules and facilities for Citadels could work as a substitute.

Honestly the name Citadel is just the over arcing name for all the new structures that were talked about with the last 2 devblogs, there is a fairly wide array of them and supposedly more that they haven't talked about yet.
I am interested to see how the different type of structures will work together and if they can be placed on-grid with each other. And how long they take to put up/take down and any other restrictions that they have for placement.
Having the mining and assembly things being able to be placed on-grid together inside of mining and ice sites in space could bring in some interesting ideas for high value mining ops inside both NS and WH space.
**edit** In the context of the faction structures/mods. I don't see why the ORE company wouldn't have the cutting edge when it comes to drilling platforms, or why organizations like the Blood Raiders wouldn't have "assembly hall" and "cathedral" versions of the different types of the Citadel structures. |
