I've been doing a spot of theory crafting while waiting for the citadel release, and I came up with a dastardly idea on how to use them that, if successful, would make pipebombing look harmless. But this idea depends on a number on things that I don't think were covered in the dev blogs:
- How many small citadels can a player anchor at once?
- Since most types of regular ship weapons can apparently be fitted to citadels, does that extend to Tech II turrets as well?
- How far can any given citadel be anchored from a stargate or station?
- Can older deployables (such as Mobile Tractor Units) be deployed nearby?
- Will additional skill training be required to use a citadel and its subsystems?
- Can citadels be configured to automatically target certain ships? (eg. NBSI)
- Whose skills govern what kind of systems can be fitted and activated on a citadel?
If CCP asks extra nicely, I might even draw them a diagram of my proposed technique. |

This is from memory, so please forgive me if I'm wrong but
- We don't know but there probably isn't a limit
- A citadel cannot fit regular ship weapons, they use specialized citadel modules. Most weapon types will have citadel versions.
- A citadel must be ~500km from a stargate, station or another citadel
- Yes, assuming that you are the correct distance away
- No, all citadel weapons must be fired manually by a player who is docked. Corp roles might also be required to man the guns?
- We don't know yet, they don't exist.

In the newest devblog a good way down to "Variations, general notes and you"
Quote:The current plan is for those structures not to have auto-defenses. This is still left to be debated, but we do believe existing auto-defenses on Starbases are nothing but a false promise to safety, since they are so easily abused and bypassed by attacking parties. They just give the owner a feeling of safety where none actually exists, like having a completely out-of-date firewall and anti-virus on your computer.
But please what had you in mind? |

I had in mind a ring of small citadels around an existing stargate (aka hellgate), loaded with guns and set to fire on anyone I didn't like. So much for that idea |

There is an official thread for your questions and your more likely to get it seen by devs there.

You are late to the party. Read all the blogs. Read their comments (click on the blue DEV badges to see the important stuff).

There will be deployment restrictions, yes. Mainly to avoid people to be insta-omg-BBQ-blapped when coming out of warp / stations, to avoid having space where structure defenses overlap or have them hidden inside landmarks or other anomaly sites. |

But this idea depends on a number on things that I don't think were covered in the dev blogs:
- How many small citadels can a player anchor at once? There are no small citadels. Only Medium, Large and XL. The small would be a mobile depot.
- Since most types of regular ship weapons can apparently be fitted to citadels, does that extend to Tech II turrets as well? Citadels will have there own weapon systems, and not use ship systems. they are mostly looking at missle based and AOE based weapons. No word on t2
- How far can any given citadel be anchored from a stargate or station? currently 250k-500l from other structures.
- Can older deployables (such as Mobile Tractor Units) be deployed nearby? unknown
- Will additional skill training be required to use a citadel and its subsystems? Most likey just for the weapons systems
- Can citadels be configured to automatically target certain ships? (eg. NBSI) Citadels will be manually targetet. They will not have auto matic weapons, or if they do, they will be for the lone ship. They can be set for access rights and the like like pos' are yes, but with more settings iirc
- Whose skills govern what kind of systems can be fitted and activated on a citadel? No offical word on skills for citadel use yet, but my guess is the gunner, much like a ship.
