Do remember 50% of build costs drop, and 50% of the fitted modules drop also based on what we have been told. So on an XL Citadel that could be 40 Billion in loot just from build costs and modules.
Is that not enough loot? |

A Small Tower BPO costs 125 millions. Building it costs less than 80 millions. Buying one on the market costs less than 70 millions. A Corporate Hangar Array costs less than 5 millions. A Ship Maintenance Array costs around 20 millions.
So to replace a 95 millions POS, you suggest a theoretical 600 millions (since the BPO costs 6B, more like 0.9/1B on the market) Medium Citadel. It's not "a couple hunderd mil more." |

I also understand there will be additional structures released at a later date with different functionality that may be both cheaper and offer the functionality you're looking for.

And that structure costs you roughly 1.2B to operate for a year. I don't see the issue with a shift to a 600M ISK structure that has zero operating cost. |

Fuel cost is only shifted to fitted modules, not removed, and since it's ongoing, it can easily be paid. Oh, and a Small POS is as easily moved around or put offline to cut fuel costs, something you can't do with a Medium Citadel. |

Now you're just making stuff up, Unequipping (or presumably turning them off line like you would a ship module) would mean that the citadel is no longer using fuel.
Apart from rigs(that are optional) you can unanchor and move around a citadel a LOT easier than a pos with all it's modules.
![Roll](https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_roll.png)
Then you have all the advantages of small invulnerability window, asset safety, ability to dock ships, tethering, the offensive features, etc.
It really feels like they're a bit too cheap but I'm not complaining ![Pirate](https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_pirate.png)
ps. I lived in a wh for a long time. dealing with POS and POS modules was the single biggest PITA in the game.

It is actually only been said that service modules cost fuel currently. The only service modules available on a M are clone services, reprocessing, and compression. All of those can be turned on only as needed. If the offensive/defensive modules require fuel, those would only be used during attack so it can be assumed that the cost of operating a Citadel is significantly less than the cost of fueling a tower 24x7
Nothing about a POS is "easy to move around" compared to a Citadel. |

Even at 7B for the large + probably 3-5B for a fit. Cost will not be a factor for us. The XL is out of our range. But then it suppose to be. As are outposts now.

That's my point. Outposts and Large POSes are replaced, not Small and Medium POSes.
And for the two above you: deploying a Citadel takes 1 hour and you need a TI Industrial to move it around. Anchoring then onlining a small POS takes 15 minutes, and you can move it in a Blockade Runner.
As a side note: I'm not talking for myself here. My alliance uses Large POSes, and we can afford several Citadels. But I often see temporary Small and Medium POSes in high and lowsec systems, and those guys will be kicked out of the Structure part of the game as CCP planned it. |

its very possible that unless you have an unfitted citadel it will require fuel. |

Yes. As I noted Active modules. Much like your ship, modules are not active when they are not being used like firing guns or repairing ships. It's pretty clear that the fuel requirements for Citadels will be a magnitude less than POSes |

Kicked out? No. Playstyle affected? Possibly
Really depends on how temporary your temporary claim is, but I would trade HOURS of POS anchoring, onlining and offlining guns and scooping structures for a 24 hour anchor time on a Citadel and the ability to simply fit things to it like a ship and then offline and scoop it when I'm done. |

We don't know what the fuel cost of services are going to be. We just don't know how much fuel it will need. However if it does run of fuel a lot of things still work. Unlike a POS

So random ass question/comment. Does it seem at all (thematically) odd to anyone else that Citadels require service components like Station Factory or Station Reprocessing Center, but don't have those services without the appropriate service module? On the other hand, service modules don't require those components, just materials.
So what, a station has 90% of what it needs to do something, but you have to build the other 10%? Excuse me while I find the world's largest "Batteries not included" Sign |

I've been trying to figure out a reason to use a M Citadel, rather than a L or XL - and, save the minor savings in cost, I don't see much of any reason to ever do so, particularly in low or null space.
Perhaps a M Citadel should have some advantage over the L and XL, at least, in low or null - such as the ability to fit a cloaking device (that would be fun), or simply be immune to directional scan (ie. needs to be found using combat probes)? |

I have read all the devblogs, thanks you. And as I have said several times already (reading the whole thread would be useful, I suggest you do it) nothing is said about those future structures having ship storage or fitting capabilities. According to the devblogs, those capabilities are what Citadels are for (with several improvements and some losses.), except that there's no Citadel fitting the sizes of Small and Medium POSes. |

CCP RedDawn mentioned in his post here that he wanted to make Data sites more profitable to run. With these new citadels, why don't we use the High-Tech trade goods that can drop from the data sites for production of the citadels and the other new structures?
High-Tech Data Chip sounds like something you could use in a citadel, High-Tech Scanner is an obvious candidate for including in the new observatories, High-Tech Manufacturing Tools could easily fit in with the new industry structures while the High-Tech Small Arms could perhaps be used for the new modules that can be fit onto citadels.
This could potentially increase the value of data sites immensely and suddenly there's a major demand for people doing exploration sites because there's always a demand for the new structures, just like there are for POS right now. |

It probably needs to be a separate game, an expansion to Dust / Legion. EVE is spaceships. More it has a complete lack of compelling game play reasons to be done. Not a single thing people have suggested for it actually adds to gameplay, just pure fluff or in one or two cases pure griefing.
Why does making "eve real" have to add gameplay???? These are meant to be our homes away from stations. So like stations where we can dock and walk around the captain quarters prison cell they gave us that doesn't add game play but instead adds alittle realism!!! As I said these are meant to be a new breed of structure's so why not one day make them the cornerstone of there wish to make eve real and one day allow players that want to leave there ship n walk round there homes, possibly furnish there new homes etc! I've played many online games that let you buy homes that you can furnish your own way, even games like GTA 5 online allows you to spend your hard earned cash on a place you call home n invite friends n corp mates into with next to no added game play but instead adding realism to the world you play in!
CCP have done an outstanding job of improving eve with new ships and a visually stunning universes after alot of players spat their dummies out over the walking in station expansion so why not stop crying everytime anyone who loved the idea of the walking in station expansion mentions leaving our ships and if its possible to give us alittle of what was proposed in the walking in station expansion allow CCP to do it!!!
Oh n my question was put out to ask a dev (assuming they have time to reply) about possible future add-ons to citadels so if your not a dev and nothing more than a player like me who knows only what CCP tell us, keep your empty unimportant opinion to your self seeing as your not anyone that can affectively answer my question!!! |

Because anything on EVE takes Dev time away from other features. So if you want WiS, work out some real compelling gameplay reasons for WiS in Citadels to actually be important. And if you don't want other peoples input, write it on a piece of paper next to your computer, don't post it in a public discussion thread. |

Have few questions and "doubts" about the citadels ...
... tethering effectively means, you are safe on undock and can safely escape to and arrive from warp (bubbles aside); nobody can force you to fight or interact with an invading force, no room for exploiting piloting mistakes, right? ... as Citadels are about to replace not only POSs but also (player) stations, this will drastically reduce options to fight for smaller gangs not able to reinforce the Citadel itself and capable to operate multiple siege events ... also the powerful Citadel weaponry will make it impossible for smaller groups to even stay in range of hostile stations, right? ... Wormholes, today you can shoot down SMAs (everywhere, not only in WH) for loot on an inactive tower pretty easily solo, with the Citadels you always need a multi-stage siege fleet ... this again drastically reduced conflict potential.
So is the desired goal of the new mechanics to make Null, Low and WH much much safer for the defender than today? Because this is, what I read from the blogs and don't like ...

How is tethering any different than the undock invulnerability timer, or using an instadock, or a POS shield?

Invuln timer is 30s and can be broken by piloting error, tethering is infinite and fool proof. Instadock spots are open to piloting errors too, tethering means warp to 0 and you are safe (except bubble, but those don't exist in low). Yes, it's more like POS shields, but those are not the default home for most of the people today.

It deactivates if you accrue a weapons timer, and if you fly out of range.
I fail to see how an instadock is open to piloting error. You warp to the bookmark at zero, you dock. You can even engage autopilot in the middle of the warp to make the server forcibly dock you without any interaction on your part.
The only difference between being in dock range of a station and being in tethering range is that in the case of a station, you have to hold down the D key and click on the station in order to activate the safety part.

Why has the design decision been made to make every station look the same? |
