Dear CCP Ytterbium,

I sincerely hope that this is a just mistake or some sort of awfully bad humour. Because I am not sure what world you live in, however, in the world I live in, the current market price to build a Keepstar XL Citadel is approximently 210b ISK. Mind you this is just for the hull itself. (With original bill of materials, it is approximently 105b ISK)

I understand that they are supposed to be expensive and they should be, to a point. Of course, they are bigger than current Outposts, super capitals can dock into them and they can shoot stuff. So with original figures, they are already multiple orders of magnitude more expensive then Outposts and rightfully so.

However, these citadels are destructibles. They blow up. You can lose them. So while being very expensive, they should also be (this might not be the right word) but affordable enough or accessible enough that they are reasonably replaceable. That losing one doesn't end the owning alliance.

Of course, they shouldn't be so cheap that anyone and their dog can build one.

At 105b ISK and still rising price of the original figures. I believe is a balanced price point, because at double the price, it will be out of reach for many entities which are not the mega blocs and will be put at a massive disadvantage like it is not already bad enough.

At your ridiculous price point, it will become exclusive to entities where ISK is no object and the game will be worst off since they will be the only ones able to dock their fleet of super capitals for resupply or repairs or logoff in relative safety. While other entities receive further increased difficulty.

I am not sure what others feel about this since there doesn't seem to be much talk about it, but personally myself and few others I know are horrified when we heard of this news.

The game is already in a very bad state, and I honestly believe Citadels will make or break this game. However, if the game continues to progress in this direction, I would probably never know, since me and many of my corp and alliance mates will very likely have quit the game.

I urge you to reconsider this change in price, the original figure is good.

I have played EVE for almost 10 years, with every updates in regards to sovereignty it kills my passion for EVE a little. This mega bloc favoring change with the citadels is probably the last nail in the coffin that will make me finally quit.

Best Regards,
One of the few remaining EVE player.
