I did my first brawl today with a yellow blinky skiff. https://imgur.com/6tBCdR7

-the anticapital-missles didnt shot(not even the charon, that i tried before), there were no antisubcap-missles on the market.
-the traktor and the repulsor had no noticible effect
-the skiff could not fight back. the hobs didnt wanted to shoot the fighters

Does that mean empty ships will not be able to tether?

A few things I've noticed with the March 22 update.

1. When I take control of my Keepstar, I cannot activate damage modules like Standup AXL Missile Launcher. The message I get is "01:47:53NotifyYour ship is realigning its magnetic field, please wait a moment." even after many minutes. Isn't that the typical message for the undocking invulnerability? I can activate ewar and neuts and web without issue. Scram gives me "02:07:29NotifyYou cannot activate Standup Warp Scrambler I whilst invulnerable."
2. Fighters deployed by a character controlling a Citadel do not show up as purple for fleet members, including for the deploying character itself..
3. Could be user error, but I cannot get bombs to launch from Heavy Fighters. I go through the targeting UI, but the bombs don't launch. The bomb button is then blinking, and if I try again I get this message "01:53:38NotifyCannot activate the Ametat II Launch bomb ability again as it is already active."
4. I'm unable to zoom the view of the Ship Hangar when in capital ships, so they appear overstuffed.
5. When the station services is set skinny enough, the "View Outside Structure" label word-wraps on top of the "Station Services" label.
6. When I select launched fighters via the fighter UI, there's no indication in space which fighter I have selected. When I click on a fighter in space, or from the overview, there's no selection of it in the fighter UI.
7. Targeting range of Citadels is, graphically, represented as the distance from the center point of the Citadel. However, the overview range and the range checked for module activation seem to be from the tether ring of the Citadel.

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE how the line drawn for overview items to the plane of one's ship is now curved such that it shows actual distance to that item. Don't ever ever ever change that please. The Homeworld-style targeting UI does not follow this paradigm, however. It's set-straight-out from center of ship, the set-straight-up/down from that distance. It should follow the curve of the sphere - as in, first set distance out, then set where on the sphere at that distance. It also would be nice to somehow be able to rotate the camera view with the targeting UI active - it's difficult to tell just what I'm pointing at otherwise.

I'm also a big fan of the red indication of optimal and falloff ranges for weapons.

Not sure if this is intentional or not, but it does not appear to be possible to activate a Cyno while tethered. The only feedback when attempting to light the cyno is not very informative: "Your ship is realigning its magnetic field, please wait a moment."

Locking a target, in this case a jettisoned can, without any further action, causes the tether to drop allowing me to light the cyno within tethering range but remain untethered.
If I remove the can by looting it, the can pops, no timer, and tether re-enages (the cyno is not active).

This makes sense that you cannot light the cyno while tethered. So:

1 - Will it be possible to light a cyno and cause the tethering to break just as you can lock something and cause tethering to break?

2 - Will CCP create something similar to the Cynosural Generator Array for Citadels?

1. Will raise with team.
2. I think I have already raised this with the team but honestly can't remember so will do it again.

Si currently you can't refit a citadel of it is damaged now this makes a lot of sense. However you also can't refit dieing reinforce between fights I think this needs to be a possibility to let defenders react to an aggressors fleet and of course allow for the offending fleet to try to put think a defender who now has 24hrs to refit and reorganize.


Basically being able to refit the citadel will greatly enhance the meta game involved in such sieges

Can we please have a confirmation on citadels in Thera? It was stated they will not be allowed in shattered wormhole systems, but they currently work in Thera on SISI.

They will not be allowed.

We have just not implemented the restrictions yet.

kind of bad idea. why not let us have shattered wormhole restriction only to medium citadels? only these could be anchored as poses have no moon . med citadel could be handy we know wormholes never intended to be place to live in them but we do so why not give shattered wormhole a medium citadel? what is wrong with this. maybe add some negative effects sush 20% armor/shield/hull amount on citadels in shattered wormhole reduction 20% reduced damage done by citadel weapon systems in shattered wormholes? something like that but to be honest citadels in shattered wormholes could give another ignition effect for more wormhole wars. so my proposal is

1. shattered wormholes allowed to house only medium citadels
2. 20% reduced of damage done by citadel weapons
3. 25% citadel armor hull shield amounts reduced
4/ shattered wormhole citadels will be vulnerable all time
5. sleepers can attack your citadel if its 500km from anomaly sites

so if you want to have citadel in shatered wormhole you need group of players either to defend it or attack another citadel

Okay, so citadels can haz fighters.

Then what's the relationship between those citadel fighters and player skills?

Are fighter stats affected by the skills of the one controlling them?
Are fighter skills required to use citadel fighters? (ATM they are not, but is this intended?)

I set one up, then checked to see what was needed to take it down. I could not find any options for unanchoring and/or scooping. Where are they?

Since the Game didn't let me submit a Bug Report (Can't chose a Category) i gona Post it here:

I set up three Citadels, which finally anchored after the Timer Bug got sorted out, the Medium and Large are just fine, but the XL Keepstar was Damaged for some reason, and is now stuck in a "Secure: 0s" Timer since yesterday. I can't repair it, nor does it Repair itself as stated. I started anchoring a second one which will go up in 13~hours and see how this acts upon going online, because it also shows ~29% Armor damaged like the other already.

To Highlight the Timer

CCP any chance we can get this hanger to also include capitals and not just supers us WH pilots would like a change of scenery every now and then to and Christ dreads are bigger than supers lore wise wouldn't they also need the bigger bay? and dont even get me started on the FAX

No, at least not for the initial release. Anything more would be a decision for the art dept.

If I land near a citadel with a golem and go into bastion mode while being engaged.. My bastion cycle will end but won't allow me to reactivate or move or warp away. Even with logging off the Golem stays stuck and leaving ship. The only way to fix the golem is to scoop it with another ship.

I had a short engagement after my XL entered vulnerability today.

1. The damage-dealing modules worked, except the bumper (didn't try the tractor).

2. After the missile batteries finished one batch of missiles, they wouldn't reload. The error was that reloading isn't allowed when the structure is damaged. Is that intentional?

3. After the engagement, the message on the structure's icon said something like "Repair 14m 50s PAUSED". I didn't see a countdown.

4. The structure did eventually repair, as shown in the damage info near the cap display. However, although the shield went full, the percentage (which I have enabled) remained at 99%.

Would it be possible to allow on SISI (or even TQ) to set the vulnerability window to be larger than the minimum time? To test shooting Citadels, we have only a small time period to do so. I'd like to set the vulnerability windows to be 24x7 so we can shoot our Citadels whenever we want.

Also - anybody got a primer on control permissions? I can take control of my Citadels with the director character I used to deploy them, but not with other characters. I've double-checked corp roles, groups, profiles and skills - far as I can tell I should be able to take control of Citadels, but the button does nothing. I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug.
