Hir Miriel Elves In Space 222	Posted - 2015.08.16 14:20:32 - [1] - Quote Being excited is terribly exciting, and a great way to sell an idea. But I just can't get excited about citadels. For me to get aroused, these citadels, these little pieces of Eden, would need to have some sense of proprietorship, be our own little place in space. Part of that would involve being able to be creative with it. Making a house a home, our citadel our cottage. That's an emotional attachment I could be attracted to, rather than the fear that some numbies will come along and wreck everything while I'm offline. And while fear is a powerful motivator, it's not one I enjoy having in games. I understand that for many the new citadels will be wonderful, but I'm having trouble finding any emotional link. ~ ~~ Thinking inside Schrodinger's sandbox. ~~ ~

I'm not a fan of these forums, so I don't keep tabs on the niceties of post management here. For issues like Citadels, which feel like a missed opportunity, then I think it's important to tell CCP what I think. As far as I know these forums are the way to do that. My apologies for being one of many people who post that way, I do try to be as unboring as possible. ~ ~~ Thinking inside Schrodinger's sandbox. ~~ ~

I think the new citadels are great, because right now structure bashing is one of the most boring aspects of Eve. It's worse than mining, ratting, or mission running. With the new structure system, perhaps players will look forward to killing structures. Because they will be generating juicy kill mails, a pile of frozen corpses, and loot. Perhaps now capitals and supercaps will be relevant again, and they will be used to generate structure kill mails. It seems like killing the new XL Citadels will generate a kill mail that's equivalent to killing a Titan.

CON: It uses the Entosis Link bullshittery that will almost certainly get me to give up on WH space if it remains in its same sorry state by the time citadels come around.

I mean it would be nice .. if you-re in w-space to live from a Citadel instead of a POS , just seems more comfortable ... but on the other hand .. constantly worrying about vulnerability timers and random wizzards coming along waving they-re wand at your Castle seems rather ... meh ... -á- I am the commanding officer , u should adress me as sir ! -á- But if i call u sir , what would i call your wife then ??

Let's see, we know how wide the Death Star trench is because we know the size of an X-Wing (Mark Hamill's size and the close up of Luke and X-Wing on Dagobah) and since we know the Death Star is a sphere, we can determine the radius/diameter of the Death star based on the size of the trench (i.e. how many trenches "tall" is the Death Star,) so that means... /nerdgasm Pon Farr Memorial: once every 7 years, all the carebears in high-sec must PvP or they will be temp-banned.

Converting existing outposts into XLCs is also a good start. Star Jump Drive A new way to traverse the galaxy. I invented Tiericide

Commander Spurty Dimension Door We need wards. 1550	Posted - 2015.08.18 03:43:07 - [30] - Quote All this BS crying about wanting to shoot structures and yet, there's 30+ MTUs outside jita 4-4 untouched Therefore, Even when there are structures to blow up, you moan like merry hell. Give it a rest already. You're fooling no one and the price of salt is in free fall. The citadels have multiple timers. Do they even have targetable guns? It looks to me like the guns can't be destroyed. Could be wrong. I don't think interceptors will be much use if the guns start shooting There are good ships And wood ships And ships that sail the sea But the best ships are Spaceships Built by CCP
