My final suggestion. Every capsuleer can have ADDITIONAL AMOUNT of WH clones. He can set clone - being docked at citadel. Capsuleer can choose additional WH clone for possible respawn - only being docked at THIS SPECIFIC citadel. Capsuleer can cancel possibility of WH respawn - always and everywhere.
Conditions for wh respawn: null timer, location in system with established and CHOOSEN wh clone. All other cases triggers normal clone respawn (hi, low or null systems). Every wh respawn starts timer.
No jumps. |

I assume that if you die inside the timer you end up somewhere, maybe Jita?
I would like to change the original idea so that if you die in the constellation, you revive at the citadel. Or, if your friends bring your corpse back to the citadel it can revive you if you already have a clone there (this may need balance considerations... corpse freighters).
I also think a week would be better than 3 days.
That way if your citadel gets attacked you'll be able to jump back in at most once before it either goes into armor reinforced (and the clone bay shuts off) or the attackers are repelled.
The timer could be modified to two weeks as well.

this game is supposed to be hard. if you are adding a new mechanic, ADD IT, dont just run around it to avoid angering the grim darks. i really like the longer timer idea
meta it by saying the charge to send it out so far takes longer. and yeah you HAVE to wait the time etc. it is a price we are willing to pay for the amount of time and effort we put into living out in the black.
make it a special kind of jump clone bay that has to be numbered, only a certain amount of jump clones in a specific citadel in wh space |

I just read this saying that the cost of the BPO's for the citadels took a huge jump. The costs are now: 6B, 70b, and 1200b respectively. Is that true?

The last, that for the Keepstar, has gone up - just as the price for the base hull it builds has also gone up - the other two have remained the same.

So this mean that all the costs done to produce those assets is removed from the game?? Strange call... but i guess it's like that. |

Well - when I say 'removed' - that doesn't mean that CCP might not do some sort of refund like they are planning with POS. They could, potentially, try a repalcement - but that would be tricky given the lack of one-to-one comparability.

Yes the only one that has gone up is the keep
The rest look like they have gone up do to the market reacting to them. Everyone is buying the build mats up and few ppl are selling prices should normalize in less than a month after release

I was just watching the Twitch feed for 'Structures' at Fanfest and one of the questions asked afterwards came close to what I would like to know but not quite.
The Assembly structure and Drilling Platform structures seem to come close to what needs to be replaced under the current system running but neither appear to do the current job and/or will be likely prohibitively expensive.
Currently the average miner operating in high sec system will use a small POS tower along with and reprocessing array and/or a compression array. I haven't played EVE for a while for various reasons but the outlay for the tower and arrays used to be about 100 million ISK roughly. I expect it is still roughly that amount or not that much more. The cost could arguably be less if constructed by the user themselves.
It appears like the nearest structure available to replace this option post all the changes and removal of POSEs would be the medium sized citadel which is sort of like cracking a walnut open with a cruise missile warhead.
Therefore can CCP tell me/us what ideas you have for miners doing compression and reprocessing of ore in high sec space post the changes. Emphasis would probably be more on compression in high sec as there are other options for reprocessing in high sec.
* My years subscription is about to end and will not be renewed as well as my other accounts due to not liking most of the recently announced changes. Too many to list here. But I will still be 'observing' from the 'outside' and if things improve or become more attractive I will return to playing EVE. Nevertheless I am still interested in hearing news on the future of ore compression in high sec space. * Fly safe o7. |

How does the drilling platform (you know the one that can refine better than a citadel) not fulfill your need a citadel gets 54%refine in hs that is 2%more than now and this is less than what the drilling platform gets you. The drilling platforms will also be cheaper than citadels. How did you watch the presentation and not pick up on any of this?

Quick question regarding Citadels and anchoring.
On the Eve Uni Wiki, it says that during the anchoring stage "[Citadels] do not appear on directional-scan while anchoring and not on the overview, unless you're on grid." and that "Combat probes don't work."
Can a dev please confirm this as true or false?
Here's the problem scenario: If you jump into a wormhole with a Viator (or other cloaky haulers) which is able to carry a medium citadel, you can then warp to a random spot in space, begin anchoring a citadel, and then cloak up. Since the anchoring citadel is invisible to d-scan, overview, and combat probes, it is essentially impossible for any players already occupying the hole to find it and prevent the anchoring from completing - which also makes the 24 hour timer kind of pointless. Since the ship doing the anchoring is cov-ops, there is a very small window of time to find it. If you do this with 2 citadels at the same time, and give them non-overlapping vulnerability timers (that's the difference between this and doing the same with POSes), it is possible to establish a "beachhead" in a wormhole that is essentially impossible to remove. Only one citadel would ever be vulnerable at a time, and it's virtually impossible to stop new ones being anchored and defended given that they don't need fuel for basic functions. |

I am redoing my earlier damage critique post with the new stats on missiles and bombs.
Again, these are all with level 4 in all structure skills in a Fortizar citadel in highsecm on SiSi. The station has 2 ballistic control systems and 2 guidance enhancers.
Subcap Missiles
Anti-small: 144.4dps per launcher.
The damage from these getting a buff is nice to see, but the application concerns me. They have an explosion radius of 100m and velocity of 200 m/s. Presumably, these are intended for destroying frigates and destroyers, which are both easily capable of having a significantly smaller signature radius and a significantly higher speed than the missiles can apply to.
Against cruisers, they shouldn't have much difficulty applying the damage, but ~450dps against cruisers is lackluster for a military station, especially since it only takes a couple of T1 cruisers to put out more DPS and a bit of logi to outrep it.
Anti-medium: 481.5 dps per launcher.
Again, damage buff is nice to see, and it's nice that it seems to have gone the route I suggested with increasing firing rate instead of burst damage. Application seems to be okay too against cruisers and up. Despite this, a total of around ~1440 DPS with 3 launchers, while far better than before, is easily countered with just a bit of logi, and easily outshined by 3-5 T1 cruisers.
For a military station as costly as a Fortizar, that is simply too weak. It leaves it not only possible, but easy, to take on a fortizar without any casualties.
Anti-Large: 963 dps per launcher.
DPS from a single launcher is a bit higher than a T1 battleship, but that just means that it only takes 4 T1 battleships to out-DPS the Citadel. Total DPS from 3 launchers is ~2889dps, which can be outrepped by just 2 logi cruisers. Once more, against an actual fleet, the Fortizar would be incapable of even inflicting any casualties, never mind fighting them off.
GòÉGÿ+GòÉGÿ+GòÉGÿ+GòÉGÿ+GòÉGÿ+GòÉ
Increasing firing rate as a good step in the right direction, but they still need to be stronger. I still think that they should serve more as a c onstant stream of DPS than burst damage, and said constant stream needs to be able to break through logi, otherwise the Citadel can't even kill a single ship in an attacking fleet.
Bombs:
Anti-Small: 1200 burst, 60 dps
This is just silly. it's such a tiny amount of damage, T1 frigates can tank it with no difficulty and be repped up without a second thought, Never mind that the 100m explosion radius application means that its damage will be reduced by the fact that frigates are smaller than that. it's just a negligible amount of damage.
The firing rate of bombs should be majorly reduced, and the damage should be huge. Seeing a bomb launched from the Citadel should be a major "oh ****" moment. It shouldn't be enough to burst things off the field, but it should be enough to cause a big chunk of damage that would make the logi scramble to heal everyone that was affected. Perhaps even have it cause enough damage to clear the ship's main layer and bleed a little bit into the next, depending on the fit.
Anti-Medium: 4000 burst, 200 dps
Again, this is silly. 4000 burst damage every 20 seconds is insignificant to even a T1 cruiser. it's less than 10% of its HP, and just gets more and more useless as the attacker's ship size goes up.
As said with the smaller bomb, seeing a bomb launch should be a source of fear for the attacking fleet. It should have a harrowing effect, the attacking FC should be keeping track of how much longer until the next bomb launches so they can maneuver. It should drive the enemy fleet to reconsider blobbing so that they don't all get caught in the blast. It should cause a major amount of damage that makes the logi panic and scramble to get everyone repped up before the next one hits.
GòÉGÿ+GòÉGÿ+GòÉGÿ+GòÉGÿ+GòÉGÿ+GòÉ
As with the first critique, I think bombs should be for a huge amount of burst damage but have very low DPS due to reload. It should be near impossible to attack a Citadel with zero casualties, even if you win the fight. With how the Citadels damage output is, you end up not being able to kill anyone when there's logi on the field.
Burst damage of missiles should be low, with very high DPS. Burst damage of bombs should be exceedingly high, with very low DPS.
Maintaining that Citadel E-war needs to be AoE, including warp scrams and webs. Jamming or painting a single target doesn't mean jack when you're defending yourself against a fleet.
I won't be commenting on fighters, because I haven't had an opportunity to experiment with them.

Just blow up the logi and then move on to the rest. It's like "shooting the Medic" in Team Fortress 2: kill the healer, and the attackers will fall in short order.
As for the weapons review, it seems that they neglected to post the fire rate of the weapons. The actual damage of the missiles and bombs is the fire rate multiplied by damage per second, although they only seem to explain the "burst damage" for the bombs.
For that matter, the burst damage of the bombs as a whole is equal to almost the whole EHP value of a single ship of their class size (NOT 10%), and the bombs apply this damage to all ships in range of the detonation. They're meant for AoE, not mini-Doomsdays. Yes, problems would arise with resistances, but even that can easily be dealt with by concentrated fire or multiple bomb drops.
Moreover, with Citadels as a whole, best thing to do is likely to target and destroy the heavier DPS ships first, and then shift your attention to the lesser ships that deal less damage. When you're as big as a Citadel, you can't afford to have Battleship-sized ships sticking around.
If they have logistics, pop the logistics first and then take care of the big ships and work your way down to smaller ships. Combine that with webbers or other EWar items, and any potential down-sides are rectified.
Did Alexander Otium actually use these things in a mock battle, or just look at the statistics. The Citadel, like any ship, needs to be battle-tested before its effectiveness is to be judged. |

The Citadel, like any ship, needs to be battle-tested before its effectiveness is to be judged.
With the missiles I posted their DPS, with the bombs I posted their burst damage and DPS. DPS is damage per shot multiplied by firerate. Damage per second is NOT "the fire rate multiplied by damage per second".
The problem with killing the logi first is that the damage dealt by the Citadel is so small that the logi can very easily heal each other faster than the Citadel can deal damage. That is just silly, a Citadel is supposed to be a military emplacement, a Citadel, a fortress. It should not be easy to take one on with zero casualties.
With the stats right now, having a Citadel on field gives you about the same DPS, under optimal conditions, as 4 tech1 battleships, for an immensely higher cost and without mobility. I admits that I have not factored Fighters into this.
I don't know where you get the idea that the bombs deal the entire EHP of their class size. How is 4k damage equal to a Tech1 Cruiser's HP? Or a battlecruiser? or a battleship?
One thing that I failed to factor in was the neut bombs. They neut 4000 raw GJ, with an explosion radius of 500. Against a Guardian logi cruiser, for example, that comes out to only 14% effectiveness due to its signature of ~70. 4000GJ from the bomb, multiplied by 0.14 due to the target's signature, comes out to about 560GJ neuted. Divided by the 20 second firing rate of the bombs, that's only 28GJ/s neuted.
To me, that sounds negligible.

But you do not need a fleet strong enough to defend the Citadel alone.
The citadel is still quite strong, and should be able to defend from small fleets without much problems. For example the ECM has a strength of 60 when scripted, so it should be able to shut down basically everything.
And with the dps from fighters+missiles even the small citadel can kill a logistic in a short time. So a few logi is not a problem... just pop then one after the other while you ecm the rest. Of course a large number of logi will be a problem... but thats ok, a citadel should not be able to beat everything alone. If the enemy fleet is large then you need a support fleet, but still a much smaller one.

It only takes 3-5 logi ships to outrep the damage from a Citadel depending on composition, and if you're using basilisks or guardians said logi ships can out-cap the citadel's neuts. You can only fit 5 ECM max, which means only 5 logi can be jammed, so if you bring 10-15 logi and 5-10 tech 1 battleships, your citadel is being outperformed and will not be able to defend itself.
A station that is difficult to manufacture, difficult to transport, difficult to construct, and difficult to maintain, should not be able to be destroyed by 20 ships that cost a minute fraction of the cost and effort. If a fortification is difficult and expensive to put up, it should be more difficult and expensive to take it down. |

yeah, so? A fleet with 10-15 logi in it is not really small anymore, at that point its ok that you cant solo that with a small citadel.

A fleet with 10-15 logi in it is not really small anymore, at that point its ok that you cant solo that with a small citadel.
This is a Fortizar, a Large, not a Medium. |

The citadel is still quite strong, and should be able to defend from small fleets without much problems. For example the ECM has a strength of 60 when scripted, so it should be able to shut down basically everything.
And with the dps from fighters+missiles even the small citadel can kill a logistic in a short time. So a few logi is not a problem... just pop then one after the other while you ecm the rest. Of course a large number of logi will be a problem... but thats ok, a citadel should not be able to beat everything alone. If the enemy fleet is large then you need a support fleet, but still a much smaller one.
It only takes 3-5 logi ships to outrep the damage from a Citadel depending on composition, and if you're using basilisks or guardians said logi ships can out-cap the citadel's neuts. You can only fit 5 ECM max, which means only 5 logi can be jammed, so if you bring 10-15 logi and 5-10 tech 1 battleships, your citadel is being outperformed and will not be able to defend itself. A station that is difficult to manufacture, difficult to transport, difficult to construct, and difficult to maintain, should not be able to be destroyed by 20 ships that cost a minute fraction of the cost and effort. If a fortification is difficult and expensive to put up, it should be more difficult and expensive to take it down.
Yes 3-5 logi can out rep the citadels damage but every bit of damage they need to rep because of the citadel is damage they can bit rep from your fleet.
When ccp announced citadles they said that without a defending fleet even a shall attack force could siege them. Also remember the mods we have now are only meta 1 so they can't be all that strong so that there is still room for higher meta weapons.
