The entosis system certainly draws a line in the sand. If a structure is going to sit abandoned 99% of the time, it is going to be a sitting duck. Luckily basic trolling attempts will be shrugged off since the attackers are unlikely to come back for later rounds of reinforcement. But if you can't be added to repair the building or man the guns for the final timer, GG.

I too use to go afk from game for over a month and are furious that someone may be able to take down my citadel. Unlike now. Yes Pos such safe and new is just horrible.

Tbh I'm just tired of people not bothering to read what ccp has already stated. Thats apparently including this csm member quoted. Citadels will have a automated defense system that will counter trollceptors. If you want to entosis an afk citadel you actually have to commit something that can handle the basic defense. Like with POS (yes solo dread or marauder can RF most POS' in wspace). Unlike POS however a manned citadel is a lot more dangerous. A manned POS is at best a tiny bit of extra grind to incap stuff. Seriously, why dont people do basic research before whining? No you cant kill citadels in noobship.

[*] Structures won't be able to shoot without someone manning the guns. As CCP Nullarbor mentioned, we have options under our sleeves to mitigate the risk from this change. Like having a reduced vulnerability window in specific areas, and / or be able to have NPCs spawn.

Your citadel will not go down in 48 hours. If there is something about what has been shown that makes you believe that, then you may be interpreting it incorrectly. Having seen the plans for structure vulnerability, I can assure you that this won't be possible. The exact details will be out soon but the system has (beyond my expectations) made it possible to be pretty damn afk and still have your structure be relatively secure. On top of that, if even a handful of people in your group or their alts can jump into a gunner seat once a week I don't think you'll have terrible issues.
