Here is a quick video on Citadel construction. If you have any questions beyond this point, do not hesitate to ask.

After today I am heading back into Wormholes to do some more testing if there is something you want me to test while I'm there.

did some weapon testing today with a fully rigged keepstar and the main thing I noticed is that everything it sends out be it missiles boms or fighters are incredibly slow, too slow, they absolutely need more missile bomb and fighter velocity 300% seems like a good start, it takes for ever till bomb reaches a target 250km away from a keepstar by that time I can fire 8 bombs total like what the hell

other then that I noticed that the signature radius of large missiles is messed up

Now Mr. CCP Claymore its not nice to play with a girls heart

i saw the compression option was removed from my citadel could it be you are changing it to have a different role and tax to refining?

Oh PLEASE... CCP you can do it!

Sorry, sounds like a bug or your permissions being revoked on the service.

I think the speeds may be OK,

not ok at all if it takes a solid minute for damage to apply by that time the ship will have already died if there is a defending fleet and the citadel alone does not do enough damage to kill a subcap by itself other then shooting battleships with capital missiles which do full damage with webs and painters =/
also fighters will get shot down before they get in range 100% of the time they are just too slow

Scram/web the target and the bomb will get there eventually. Coordinate with the defensive fleet so they're taking out some thing else near the target.

Where can I see the Tax Rates charged by a foreign Citadel ? Also it would be nice to have a description for the Citadel not just the "info" on the type of citadel that it is. Perhaps I could write something to entice people to visit - or list the services/taxes that are available.

I set the tax rate on the one I put up and made it 1% - however alts I have were not able to see the tax rate - I tried to hover over when i reprocessed but it did not show anything.

Also what is the tax rate based on ? Is is the refined minerals content ? Is it the raw ore ? And where is it pulling this data - ie: is it Jita mean - regional pricing?

I was trying to figure out what the calculation was using and was at a complete loss.

Cheers

I am unable to 'give' or 'trade' with any alts inside the citadel.

I noted in reading through the previous posts that this was something that would not be working or available to start.

It will be rather annoying in null to not be able to trade/give items to colleagues in other corps if we are using these as stations. I will have no ability to transfer a ship or give a module to a friend or alt unless they are in same corp.

I hope that this is prioritized as I can see this being rather important feature moving forward.

so are trade hubs going to be off limits for citadels


currently you get an error telling you they can not be placed in such systems

I would certainly hope so. I also hope the anchor restrictions get changed/added to be 1AU from any Gate as well, otherwise high sec is gonna be ******** with so many cits near gates.

i agree with the trade hub but whats wrong with the gate?

Lag/performance reasons. They are beautiful things but that comes at the cost of FPS if too many get on grid at once. Same thing for even out in space, the 1000km from another cit is a bit too close as well, maybe .5au would be good?

I would otherwise suggest a limit be placed on how many can be on grid with one another, this would solve FPS issues while near so many, as well as address exploitation issues of having so many in such close proximity from one another.

is it the EAA that is also used to build the components or is that the CAA?

I quickly made this video up to help answer that question. There are a couple different things to be aware of on the modules and rigs and that, but all very simple.

Citadel Production - Weapons, Ammo, Rigs and Drones are covered in here.

Lol that was all modules and ammo I was asking about components what do I use to build the parts used to build the citadels I would rather not haul a large worth of components.

q.q why do you torment me I just want to know what array builds those parts

Third time is a charm. The components that make up Citadels are done in the Component Assembly Array.

At least I manage to get a couple things done I wanted to do. LOL

Hmm maybe it's already hard to get more than 6 on the same grid and I have had no issue rendering that many. But if the issue is there a grid limit would be better if kind of like the idea of having a little city on one grid once the other structures are out

I agree for when the other buildings come out, like the Gate and the Arrays, each should be able to defend itself. If it can't then I would assume they would be able to be placed within the targeting range of the "parent" building, aka the Cit.

I don't have any issue rending multiple cits as well, much less massive fleet fights (TiDi causes more "lag" then actual FPS "lag") however we still need to be conscious of people with toasters out there who still think a Core 2 Duo is a good processor (or ever was LOL) or that AMD builds good cards.

Also there is the exploit side to this, having multiple on grid. means there will be over-lapping fields of fire. The XL cit can target and hit out to 750km, meaning that 1000km min anchor from one another means that they can cover each-other. This means if you plant 7 XL cits together, the center one will be unkillable and don't laugh at the price of an XL, some alliance WILL do it. Knowing the track record of Goons, I wouldn't be surprised if they did find a way to exploit the system in that way.
