Work on the the new Citadel structures is proceeding well and we would like to give you an update and discuss what happens when a Citadel gets destroyed (yes, Citadel structures are destructible).
The current design introduces a asset safety mechanics once a Citadel got destroyed. This means that, generally speaking, your items won't be lost or destroyed when the Citadel is destroyed. Instead you will be able to retrieve your items either at an NPC station (that will cost ISK) or build a new Citadel and retrieve the items there.
Please read CCP Ytterbium's blog I feel safe in Citadel city and inform yourself about all the details! We encourage you also to read the companion blog Citadels, sieges and you.
Constructive discussions and questions are most welcome, additionally the CSM has compiled an excellent FAQ for your convenience.

So ships and items will no longer drop from structures in wormholes? I think it would be more sensible if only part of one's assets was delivered to some NPC station/other citadel while the other part dropped directly as loot.
Also, what is the lore behind assets magically appearing in another station? I liked the idea better, where personal assets were ejected in containers during destruction which needed to be picked up by individual players ... content and all. |

What's the rationale for passworded containers losing their passwords? It feels like a mechanics limitation rather than a gameplay decision.

Will the roles to recover from PW'd cans be different, IE a higher level, from the access roles? |

I still don't feel asset saving will be enough to build Citadels over Outposts even after this blog reading. |

Other than the restriction regarding which kind of items can be recovered by different kinds of citadels (i.e. docked titans can only be recovered to other X-L citadels) is the volume or value also limited to certain sizes?
As mentioned in the example, could the corp that lost their X-L citadel just create a M or L citadel to get back everything but the Nyx ? Even in the example used, a new (unrigged) X-L citadel would be cheaper than delivering everything to LS. |

Looks good overall. I would rather have limited choice for where the assets end up. I.e. If we lose a Citadel in Vale we can choose any lowsec station in the nearest constellation for asset packages containing capitals Pilots without restricted items could select a highsec station in the same or adjacent constellation. If the location where the asset will end up is known then the attackers will be able to hellcamp the station where they know the assets will end up.
This prevents heavy abuse (having assets from Branch, for example get magically sent to Aridia.) but provides enough security to not have defacto lost the assets due to camps. |

Ugh. So personal assets and ships get magically transported to another station or system upon destruction?
Seems pretty soft and not at all what I have come to expect from EVE Online.
Everything should spill out into the system in thousands of pieces and at thousands of ms.
If you don't want to risk losing all your stuff, don't put all your eggs in one basket and always keep hold of liquid isk to start again.

The inability to build outposts will probably do it...

Sure if you can rebuild in system, or already have other structures still remaining. That is sort of the point of using this option.

Could we get some clarification on the reimbursement for existing outposts and upgrades - the lack of information on this has essentially destroyed the willingness of anyone to upgrade new outposts (which is a bit silly given all the effort taken recently to make those worth something). Perhaps they could be converted into citidel rigs or the like. |

You don't need the same Citadel size to recover all your stuff indeed, only capitals / supercapitals. |

Considering that you have to pay a fee or pay to erect a new citadel (and deal with the thing that killed your previous citadel), I'd say it's a significant increase in penalty over the contemporary system where assets inside an outpost are completely safe forever.

This is a good point, however we are also very concerned with players abusing this as an asset delivery system especially in high / low sec. So having any amount of choice creates different problems for us.
Having said that we'll have a think about this some more. Thanks.

I live in a C5. How would my stuff be safe exactly?
I have next to **** all in NPC stations. Besides, as hinted in the Dev blog. NPC station arn't going to be there forever. |

We don't have a schedule for that yet, and no functionality will be taken away this year. Ytterbium covered how the transition will happen at Fanfest, and we'll give you a long heads up on exactly how and when we need to start reimbursing things.

There is very important thing. In many cases nearest NPC space is not a lowsec but NPC null space. Unless you want for Esoteria residents to pull back assets from aridia , instead from stain. I really hope that you don't plan to make NPC stations in NPC space destroy-able. This is totally different play style , and can ( and will ) be abused to keep all NPC groups totally incapable of doing any thing.
Next thing is vulnerability windows, that again for NPC null space will be the worst possible. You cannot get any indexes up.
How this can be abused. Depending on costs od structures, i see possibility to move large quantity of assets 100% safe to low space. It will be 10% tax ( that quite often is lower than cost of moving some materials by JF) , and the cost of small citadel. Players will abuse it.
Next thing - remember to always UNDOCK citadel before logging off - do you really want this? This way you will not lose ship you are sitting (eg : carrier filled in most expensive ships)

Is there any timeline on implementation. Even a vague "within 3-6 months" id be good with. I am about to ramp up t2 production but im not gona drop a bunch of POSs and invest all my isk there if the new system is out soon.
Besides that the new system seems great on paper so far. |

No plans to change NPC stations at the moment. We are considering at some point (far into the future) that we will make player built outposts destructible, but its so far away we don't have to worry about the details of that just yet.

That is because POS's and Outposts are being combined into Citadels and other structures, so they each have a little bit of both features |

I feel like theres really only one group in EVE right now that can and will be able to store any assetts of value in a destroyable station. Everyone else will just hide assetts in invulnerable NPC stations. In keeping with the wild west nature of 0.0 we need to be able to destroy null sec NPC stations too.
Yes this is important question. What about REAL NPC stations in sov space. There are usually few in i think every region.
It is bad to make them destructible , but without this no one will keep main assets elsewhere

How come the entosis link causes the structure to explode?
Why not have it so that a doomsday is required to blow the structure up at the end of the final reinforcement?
You know, a reason for capital ships to exist in the game and everything?
I would think that the entosis link would push the structure into "Critical Vulnerability" which would then require lots of firepower to destroy it. So either a wrecking ball or a few doomsday strikes. |

Ok well it was a longshot but if we cant destroy NPC stations how about letting us reinforce them in a traditional manner and 'lockout' people that try to hide in them? Let us exert greater control over our areas of influence and force people to fight. |
