How are you going to prevent a single kiting sniper from applying damage constantly to prolong the repair timer until you have to go to sleep?

Undock in a Tier3 Battlecruiser, there be cormorant bits everywhere. Shooting it just pauses the repair, it doesn't restart it ( unless I read this wrong )

1. There is no interaction between citadel's owner and enemy fleet, if citadel vulnerable only 3 hours in week
2. How huge fleet needed to destroy citadel with more than 1 billion effective HP (if will be 99.9% omniresist instead full invulnerability)? You need a lot of interactions to organize such a large fleet

We revaluated our position on Wormhole space asset safety from our GÇ£I feel safe in Citadel cityGÇ¥ blog. Structures destroyed in wormhole space will see all of their assets lost when destroyed and subject to the magical loot fairy rules that would normally apply for ship cargohold.

As a wormholer, this is absolutely not okay and I if no one else will raise hell over it. Why is wormhole space special in that we alone get to deal with the risk of total asset loss while everyone else gets their stuff magically spirited away to safety? All that is going to do is incentivize people in nullsec (whose assets are safe and unattackable) to attack wormholes for the loot. Not only that, but there's absolutely no counterplay, we can't go attack nullseccers and blow up their ****, its safe. We're getting this huge risk that no one else will have to shoulder, and what do we get out of it? Nothing. We can't hit them back, their assets are untouchable. We don't get sov and it's benefits. This feels like the real **** end of the **** stick.

Glad to see (tacit) acknowledgement that the Entosis Link in it's present form has failed, and I look forward to something more like this applied to the existing sovereignty mechanics. There probably is a place for Entosis in the game but not as a replacement for firepower.

A very good question.

I suspect the reason is this: what motivation is there to attack the structure if the contents do not drop? Then again, why would someone do that to a Citadel from High Sec to Null Sec as their stuff is safe as well? This spins it back to: WHY is wormhole space the exception to this?

No docking scene. When you dock, the camera will be centred around the structure instead, so you can now play structure spinning.

...However, it needs to be fair. Either everyone's assets should be safe, or no one's should. All this will do is depopulate wormhole space since it will be the only place your assets aren't safe. Who's going to want to live there?

I thought the magic of asset relocation would be reserved to XL citadels, but after re-reading the original asset blog, it seems to cover all sizes. Have I missed an update / reading it wrong?

WH assets aren't safe today, and folks live out of POS's there. I see expensive ship hanger KM's on a regular basis.

Null-sec'ers make day raids all the time, but most return to their home outpost after making what mess they can, rather than camp in system for the required time to finish a POS.

If there is a problem which needs fixing, I think K-Space getting a new protection it didn't have before, in the citadel sizes which will replace existing POS's - is it. Rather than helping WH, consider reducing the amount of asset protection in K-Space ;)

What if the "M" or even the "L" size were not covered by the asset relocation feature in K-Space? Perhaps the "L" size could offer "partial asset relocation?"

The way I see it, it's to try and make wormhole space different. But that's stupid, you can't just make something different for the hell of it, there has to be a real reason.

I for one, want the asset safety system torched and everyone's **** to be at some level of risk. This is EVE not candyland online. However, I know the nullbears and the like will spray salty tear hoses all over everything if their precious stuff is at risk at all, so that might not be feasible from a monetary perspective.

However, it needs to be fair. Either everyone's assets should be safe, or no one's should. All this will do is depopulate wormhole space since it will be the only place your assets aren't safe. Who's going to want to live there? You could just live in null and do day-trips from your nullsec citadel with its magical bowel evacuation system.

Best solution, dev's tell the nullbears to harden the **** up and make all citadels drop loot.
Second best solution, make everyone's assets safe and deal with having little incentive to attack anyone's towers since you can't crack it open for its tasty innards.

But this? This isn't a solution at all. This is a huge steaming turd dropped on the wormhole community. This incentivizes people to attack us wormholers for our stuff, and NO ONE ELSE, since their stuff will be safe. Wormhole space will die a slow and agonizing death if this goes through. No one is going to want to live in the one place in EVE where their stuff isn't safe in a station.

Still haven't seen anything related to other structures.

Have you guys scrapped the plans to have various different structures of which citadels are only one type designed to be highly dependable? Are citadels going to be the only type of structure (essentially replacing POSes), defensible but highly customizable with no other stuff like market hubs or manufacturing structures or are citadels just the pet project getting all the love while other structure types are coming out and we might, eventually get so see previews of those in a devblog?

Then it becomes 'XL or GTFO' and the smaller size Citadels simply won't see use the way the Devs want them to. People currently might use POS in K space but they don't keep anything in them that can be kept in an NPC station.
So in order for the smaller citadels to actually be a worthwhile investment especially given that they can't come down before a wardec goes through they need the asset safety.

We will probably do a shorter timer (say 10 seconds) to resume counting down the repair timer as well as a small % damage threshold to trigger the pause. Balancing these will be required to prevent the hit and run tactics which we stated we want to prevent being effective.
