I don't know where you got that from, but if something drops, it usually drops based on current drop-rates. Your 100% won't happen ... i tried to find at least information about drop rates and for manufacturing and fitted stuff it is based on a percentage. Same as it was before with an SMA, CHA, PHA and all other arrays in a POS.

And besides, since the Citadel has a safety area around it and you get tethered the moment you undock, nobody can even stop you from just warping to a safe with all your assets. You probably won't have more stuff in your wormhole now, then before when you were living in a POS, only with the difference now that it was in a POS before and now it is in a station ... citadel.

And you even now got a big difference. Since a POS needed fuel to run, you could see when a wh is kinda abandoned by someone. Right now, the citadels do not need fuel to run in basic mode. So you cannot blow "offline"-POS's up anymore and find sma's or cha's you can take out in a Stealth-Bomber. So it is much harder for single explorers to find a jackpot or even impossible.

A corp could theorecally have been moved out of a wormhole LOOOOONG ago ... and you would not know it, eventually though by killboards.

AAAAND ... even worse. In a POS you could at least see that there was an SMA/CHA ... or 10 SMA's or 15 ... in citadel ... you could not even know if there is a single ship inside (ofc the sma could be empty), but it's now flipping a coin if there is something inside or not.

From that point ... there is almost no change at all regarding "bring your stuff into safety" or "maybe something nice drops when we blow it up".

Did anyone tried to ... selfdestruct in a citadel area? ... when bumping will be not possible anymore, i could almost imagine, that if someone undocks and is tethered, not lockable and cannot be bumped, he could easily self destruct and have an alt sitting next to it, also tethered and collect the drops ... so even the "i will selfdestruct everything in front of your eyes" might happen.

The point is you dont hunt the citadel for some guy and his alts running a PI. You go after the well established, known to have a ton of iskies and ships docked up citadel.

For example, you're flying through WH space looking for something to shoot and you jump into a system with a citadel. You take a look at the corp and find they have 25 members. You could at least assume each member has around 1bil in assets. Fitted ships in addition to blue loot and salvage. Its very possibly they have even more in total as a corp but for this example lets say it tallys up to 25bil. Not only that but the citadel is going vulnerable in 3 days.

You keep an eye on the citadel for the next day, looks like they are somewhat active. Mostly small gang cruiser fleets and running there sites. You haven't seen more than 6 on at a time. You have two days left to prepare, let your null-sec alliance know you've found a potential 25 bil target that about 15 people should be able to pop no problem. One more day to let your corp/alliance prepare, you scan them in and there you have it. Each member if your fleet is making 1.6 bil for 30 minutes dps on a citadel + the added bonus of possible PVP against the residents. If they call for help you get an escalation, but since you're in a nullsec alliance you can always bring more numbers than the WH corps ever will be able to. You get a great bit of content and a guaranteed payout, literally 100% of whatever that corp has will be yours when you pop the citadel.

You might be thinking well 25bil isn't worth the time. The realisty is corps have much more than that in assets in their home system, and larger corps living in c5-6 with capitals now docked up will have even more value. If a Nullsec corp can have the chance at a guaranteed 500bil, 750bil, 1tril + drop why the hell wouldn't they take it?

The random loot drops from a POS get rid of the certainty, there isn't as much draw to spend the time scouting and invading a WH corps space when you could get nothing out of it. A citadel changes this, anyone who wants to blow it up knows 100% they get literally everything you have, thats the problem.

I'm not sure this is confirmed.

I'm not raising hell, just stating how I feel about citadels. What else do you expect me to discuss about on the forums? You can also contribute to this discussion by pointing me to any sort of proof that reinforces your statement. It's easy to miss in a wall of text that is the dev blog.
