Look at it as balancing the asset loss / lack of sovereignty.
A true replacement for the SMA. |

Because a POS is 20x less, and allows you to essentially dock it. |

Once they remove pos's I guess it come down to the question of not be able to do what they can today. With store a cap inside a pos sma and the cost difference is quite large between that ability now and invest into a large citadel.

From CCPs perspective, the POS is imbalanced in regard to cost/benefit. Welcome to the new age |

There are so many disadvantages to putting a cap in a pos vs a citadel:
1. POS can be bubble wrapped 2. Requires one regular SMA per cap or an X-L which means fitting room reduction 3. POS does not rep your capitals 4. Can't swap clones to capital implants in a POS |

I get the impression that these ships were originally intended to "moor" alongside the medium but I guess between Spring & Eve-Vegas CCP decided it was too difficult and dropped the idea - but forgot that mooring was to replace this POS feature
Anyway why not let them dock - its not like there is any asset safety in a wormhole so they are just as vulnerable as they were in a SMA |

I think there should be an station-service for medium citadels which will give the citadel the ability to dock a limited amount of capitals, kinda like the XL-MA, maybe that you can even see on the outside. With this you have to pay fuel just to be able to store your capitals, and you can-¦t store an infinite amount of capitals like you can with the large citadel |

If it's about the art - no docking - but the Citadels still have the original mooring docks as show in the concept sketches
Can have the ability to MOOR a couple of ships - because of Art ? |

You misunderstand: I was not talking about the large citadel designed to be used by "large corps" & "mulit-player alliances".
I was talking the medium "Solo" "Small corp" version of the Citadels - You know - the one CCP were talking about during the citadel round table when they said "We have not forgotten about you solo players and small groups, EVERYTHING you can do in a POS you will be able to do in the new structures"

At first I thought this was a nice nerf to the farmholes.. with the astrahus replacing all those true sansha POS... eg now the farmholes would need a character per cap + extra characters for rolling/scouting etc. (and maybe they might need to recruit and become an actual corp instead of a single guy with 4 alts)
but then I realized all the astrahus restriction is going to do.. is encourage the farmer to join the big blocs.
Because to keep the same minimal character setup they enjoy today.. the farmholes will need a fortizar.. and their best bet will be to join a large alliance and do their farming under a large alliance safety umbrella. Because attackers are not going to blowup a farmhole if they know a 50 man blob is going to show up to defend it... and then knock on their own door a few weeks later.
Thumbs up CCP ! Your successfully turning wormhole space into SOV.

HOLY ****, like wtf 11ty pwn with a doomsday are you full of it. Have you like ever interacted with a SINGLE actual wormhole corp?
Lets be real here, just to clarify. Putting capitals into a medium citadel will not keep them safe. Its trivial to RF and bother a medium citadel. Knowing there can be potential capital loot pi+¦atas inside them will just entice scary worm people to poke the nest.
Second. Those bear holes your so worried about, gonna let you in on a secret. THEY ARE ALREADY FREAKING PART OF A GROUP. Either overtly or on the side.
I'm just gonna make an assumption, your posting from an NPC alt....
You either are in something like freaking wingspan or just have plain never been in a wormhole corp. Know the last thing wormholers give a **** about? Defending some helpless/hapless/clueless bears farmhole.
No self respecting wormhole corp is gonna just take in a bunch of worthless bears to herd/protect from pvp cause they are too poor to throw up a fortizar.

Calm down man lol.. don't do yourself an injury. 
Lets say your a guy who wants to farm in c5 / c6 space. You can set up by yourself and hope no one comes in and kicks the door down. Or you could put a pvp toon in one of the major alliances and then setup your farm hole under their protection umbrella.
The smart ones already do...
Now with POS's going away the slower ones are either going to have to pony up for a fortizar and defend it themselves which they wont be able to do..or get more toons cause they cant put their caps in the FF while they roll with BS etc (more toons cuts into isk making) or join a alliance and have protection for their farm hole for the cost of one extra pvp toon.
Right now if a independent farmer gets invaded he logs off caps, throws everything he can carry into a orca with a spare pos in the cargo and then logs off until the invader goes. Then when they leave he puts another POS up and starts farming again. They not going to do that if they have to lose a 26 billion fortizar each time.
As for your claim that alliances wont defend the farmholes. They not going to rush to defend if a PVE cap or two gets ganked but if someone is taking down their members farmholes then they will do something about it. This happened just recently when HK invaded duralex cause they were attacking HK members farms. (and there is nothing wrong with that.. they are defending their isk making ability upon which their pvp and other stuff is built.)

I'm failing to see where ANY of that is a bad thing.
Everything your saying boils down to the fact you want your farm hole to be safe/risk free but you don't or won't spend the time/isk/effort to do so yourself so your asking CCP to automagically let you have your cake and eat it.

Some will. Some will also leave wormhole space to do incursions etc. I don't think many will stick around as small independent farm corps in higher class space.
Im a fan of small - medium size corps in wormholes. Ive got nothing against bigger corps who build a empire.. the mechanics allow it .. so why not.. But I just think wormholes are healthier when there are smaller groups rather than large sov like blocs.

This is not asking for something that can't be done already - I'm not saying I have a Titan and a player that can't do anything other that sit in it so allow me to dock and while you're at it make sure I cannot loose it when the place gets blown up.
I'm saying don't take away an existing mechanic and then tell me if you want to continue to do this then buy something 20x the cost especially since a medium Citadel was supposed to be the thing to buy to take over this game mechanic for solo players & small groups.
People here are not saying we don't want this because it affects them, they are saying we want CCP to take something away from other players because they don't play the game like us - that' s the "p iss on the fire because our smoores are done" attitude of a bigot. |

It's not going to force our small group into joining a big bloc :- The character that used to do pi, pvp, pve, rolling wormholes and the hauling of goods to market etc will sit in a single ship unused for most of the time.
Together two unskilled alts will make less ISK because why risk a Rorqual to jump in an Epithal to do a pi run. Switching to a combat ship to fight visitors will be a non-started so little or no PVP. Without the skills of the main the ALTS having a few million sp each will only be able to do a fraction of what the main could and our online activity will drop significantly
- EVE will become less fun and more of a chore

because that functionality was already present in the POS system and a large is a much higher cost of entry.

Oh I'd love other options, I don't think that dropping twenty billion on a fortizar (unfitted) for a small corporation is a viable option and neither is investing into holding alts for carriers/faxes/dreads.
Do you not see that the change that is allowing supers/titans to not necessarily have to have holding alts in k space is pushing small corps into just the same issues and may be just a tiny bit pants on head ********? |

For those 20 billion, you get a station that is much more defendable than the POS ever was, that is invulnerable for 90Gäà of the time at your chosen times, has better asset security against theft, gives you a market and the ability to switch clones without a timer, unlimited storage space...

I'm not sold on the more defendable than a pos part when it comes to subcaps from what I've been seeing, I'll give you most of the other points tho. Regardless of that I don't think it's unreasonable to want an option that does not make you choose between sitter alts, space coffins or 20 bil+ come **** with me targets in my wormhole.
What's wrong with caps docking in medium? Hell they are easier to push over than larges even. Put a limit on teh max number docked at once for all I care. |

Every time something new gets added to the game, people rush in to build and destroy them. Eventually citadels will be as common as POS are currently and nobody is going to go out of their way to kill yours unless you've pissed then off enough. CCP are willing to dedicate the time to get citadels right. They are fixing bugs, adding new features and fixing balance-issue all the time.
That doesn't mean that things will be the same though. I think CCP's idea is that if you are using capitals, you need to put something worthy in space to keep them safe. |

omg ffs, you dont like citadels, WE GET IT! no one cares, move on with your life and let it go.
I dare you to name a SINGLE other major change that was rolled out as smoothly as citadels or that worked as well. I way THE most skeptical person you'll find anywhere when they announced introducing 'mooring' and docking while removing the force field but citadels work. they really do.
did you even stop and think about why there are only 3 available atm? and why they start at medium? i highly highly doubt that citadels are as fully released as they will be once POSs do eventually go away so calm down, untwist your lace panties and continue using your miserable POS until a citadel comes out that you can afford, or you finally get accepted into a not poor corp.

Your assumptions are wrong. A sitter wonGÇÖt cut it for practical reasons.
Imagine the switching procedure during an escalating fight. I would not want to extract two accounts from a fight in a critical moment to do a tedious switch from a sitter to a character that can actually fly a cap. No, you need to use a fully trained character as sitter if you plan to use capitals for anything else but killing sleepers. That is a significant difference.

Do you not see that the change that is allowing supers/titans to not necessarily have to have holding alts in k space is pushing small corps into just the same issues and may be just a tiny bit pants on head ********? Dropping 20 billion to protect the 10-15 billion you have in capitals is too much? Ookay....
Dropping 20b to protect 10-15b is by definition too much. |

Example You are dual boxing two guardians on your two accounts in a brutal battle on an incoming K162. Your opponent starts to log in more and more accounts and your FC requests that you bring a FAX so you donGÇÖt get overwhelmed.
In the simple case (docking) you warp the guardian (which is also the FAX toon) to your citadel, maybe wait for aggression timer, dock, grab one of these corp FAXes and warp back to battle. Done.
The same maneuver (get a cap on the field) looks like this if you use a sitter: Now you need to extract both of your guardians from the battle. In any small scale fight, this will get your fleet murdered. Your guardian pilot that can fly the FAX warps to a citadel, drops the guardian and gets to the log-in spot of the cap sitter. The second guardian (the sitter account) also needs to dock in a citadel and log off. You cannot simply log him off in space with timers. You log him off and log in the sitter. Once the sitter has landed on the log-in spot he ejects. The character that can actually fly the FAX takes the seat and onlines the T2 triage module and other stuff the sitter could not use and then warps back to the battle.
As I said before and explained again here a sitter is not a GÇ£solutionGÇ¥ and I donGÇÖt think we need to discuss this any further. Agree?
For a lot of the older people getting a fully trained cap pilot as a sitter is no problem but five years ago this would have been a huge problem for my corp. We are not discussing 1st world problems here, Jack. This is about entry barriers and I donGÇÖt think we need them. Caps never been more awesome and we would be hypocrites if we asked for an environment that made it any harder to field them.

if you cant figure out how to correctly juggle a whole TWO accounts... then i guess I can't really help you. here's a pro tip though, try NOT dual boxing guardians.
realistically it's irrelevant in your scenario anyway since if you're warping 2 guardians out of a fight youre losing and need a fax to get you out of, your fleet will be dead before it gets there anyway because you didnt have it on standby correctly and your fleet now has no reps. good work.

Exactly! It is not possible to do so. This was the whole point of my example. I am so happy we finally understand each other, Jack.
And the correct way to have caps on standby isGǪ
O HTFU and donGÇÖt fly with these poor scrubs you call friends. O Build a 25 bil ISK garage! O Arrange fights and plan ahead! Never jump into a fight like a headless chicken. O Join the WH CFC. O Sit in your capital with your main and never log in again. Win EvE! O Join TISU and welp your caps and supers. No capital, no cry.
I donGÇÖt like any of these options. |

It's not about adapting, or getting richer or tears. This is a legitimate complaint that the replacement item for the POS does not do it's advertised job.
Citadels are priced to serve Huge, Large and Small groups.
For huge groups the Keepstar costs approximately X2 ISK of the Titan that's allowed to dock in it For Large groups the Fortizar costs approximately X2 ISK of the Supercarrier that's allowed to dock in it For small groups Astrahus costs approximately X2 ISK of the Carrier NOT allowed to dock in it
As for all the people who seem to think building a carrier or capital industrial in low class wormholes should force you into buying a L Fortizar and not a M Astrahus - Well you can't fly a Titan in highsec -- So your logic dictates that you not be allowed to anchor a XL Keepstar but be forced to use a L Fortizar as well;

If you can resist the need to double the price of your lossmail for maybe 20% more performance caps never been cheaper for what they do and there is no reason not to use and ultimately lose them. For instance the difference between a FAX and a mach loss flown in LS these days is very slim taking insurance into account.
I been running training corps and such in WH space and I know what low tier groups problems are. These problems are very different from that of bitter vets and their 7 accounts that ran farmholes solo for ages. Newbies struggled to get enough capital pilots to run the old cap escalations as a group and if they been in their farmhole farming there was no PvP in their main WH because all pilots are needed in that farmhole to make this happen. This is of cause not very efficient but something a training group does because your members want to see what GÇ£elite PvEGÇ¥ is like. Also PvP in such groups is lot different: They can not fly every subcap you might want on the field and the initial investment for your members to get somewhat flexible in PvP is huge. Despite all these problems you have and that could so easily be avoided by joining an established group of bitter vets we managed to grow to a size that allowed us to pick a lot of fights. This might not be the way you like to play the game but I find it rewarding to see newbies grow up and become bloodthirsty killers and friends.
This is also the reason I have to be vocal here in the forums against this elite talk I find so toxic. And I will keep fighting for a smooth transition from a newbie to a top tier group. I feel this is what WH needs and not more and more pilots Widoting into the same few corps. Overlord this is like the only newcomer this year, right? And how many have we lost?
Your statement about low class and capitals is BS. Our C4 got invaded by a C6 group that was hoping for an easy eviction some years back. What they didnGÇÖt know is that we had 2 triage carriers in that WH and french friends backing us up. As a result of this we kept our WH. I know of other low class PvP oriented groups that resisted evictions by seemingly stronger groups because they had the capital advantage. Having capitals in your low class WH is a nice way to punch above your weight class. A content enabler everyone should love.
Jack Miton wrote: How is that remotely different than if your cap is docked???
Think I missed clone swapping and refitting earlier (you might be a bit limited if you could only refit what you can carry with the new cap mods. Not certain if this is relevant though). And did I mention sharing capitals with others which is impossible if you are offline.
Btw. I would love to hear how the right way to switch to a cap mid fight is? It is so easy to attack someone if you donGÇÖt really contribute to the discussion. DonGÇÖt be shy, if I missed something and gone full ****** I will admit this, I promise.

Even in my lowly C2, if I was so inclined, I could come up with the required ISK for a Fortizar, solo, in a reasonable timeframe, say a couple weeks of pure carebearing. Do me a favor and put one up. I know what people do in a content rich environments like lowsec for a super kill: We had an entire fleet logged off for 4 hours recently for that and I canGÇÖt wait to see what the content starved WH guys will do to a 17bil garage put up by a low tier group in WH space. (DonGÇÖt be offended by GÇ£low tierGÇ¥ please.) You also might want two of these.
They are farmed during the vulnerability window after anchoring and unless they are super duper force multipliers they will also be when operational. I managed to rally 70+ dudes for way less expected value in killmails. The damage cap seems trivial for such a fleet but what do I know. I have not fought one of these on tranq. yet.

Holy **** you're dumb. People arent using capitals because there is no reason to use them in sites now other than to make them go faster. Take your big words and your risk averse German mentality and screw off like really "ohhhh wh space sooo bad" it's a bigger issue than fortizars being like 16 bil now. That's nothing, run a few sites in MJD Rattlesnakes or something and buy yourself a fortizar so you too can never fly a cap in PvP you risk averse cuck.

DonGÇÖt be shy, if I missed something and gone full ****** I will admit this, I promise. No, you actually DON'T want to hear it which is why you're ignoring the obvious: The correct way to add a capital to an existing fight is to warp it in from wherever you have it sitting on standby with a fully functional pilot sitting in it ready to go.
You're talking like someone who wants to play with the cool kids and their caps but you clearly can't accept what is actually required to fly caps successfully in wspace.
People LOVE building caps in low end WHs, a LOT. However, 98% of people who build them there are completely wasting their time and money. I've been in active PVP WH corps since 2009 and ask me how many fights I've seen in C1-4 WHs where there were caps involved that were ultimately won by the group fielding the caps. Go on, ask me. Spoiler alert: zero. This is far from the number of caps ive killed in low end WHs btw. (yes, i know they probably exist but theyre extremely rare and far between.)
Sure, call me elitist, call me a bittervet, call me whatever you like; none of it is going to change the fact that your sh!t fit T1 rigged cap with T2 mods isnt going to anything remotely useful when you warp out your logi pilots to go pick it up. In fact, It should make it back to the fight just in time to watch your enemy start looting while casually killing it.
As for newbie corps in C5-6 space? why do you assume newbies are entitled to have all the same toys vets do? This sense of entitlement is why no one is ever going to take you seriously. Theyre rookies, ofcorse they wont, and shouldnt, be able to do everything people who have been playing for years can! Why should a rookie corp with toons that should realistically be running C3s in drakes expect to be able to run capital escalations the same as old corps with 100mil SP pilots? Every game has a skill and learning curve, eve is no different. There's nothing wrong with being a rookie corp and doing lower end content in any area of EVE and WHs are no different. In EVE in general, and wspace especially, rookie corps should actually be rookie corps. If youre running cap escalations, hell, if you have caps at all, youre not really a rookie corp.
BTW, the best way for rookies to get into wspace is to join an existing larger corp that is well established so that they can learn from people with experience. Maybe you should try it one day.

DonGÇÖt be shy, if I missed something and gone full ****** I will admit this, I promise. No, you actually DON'T want to hear it which is why you're ignoring the obvious: The correct way to add a capital to an existing fight is to warp it in from wherever you have it sitting on standby with a fully functional pilot sitting in it ready to go. You're talking like someone who wants to play with the cool kids and their caps but you clearly can't accept what is actually required to fly caps successfully in wspace. People LOVE building caps in low end WHs, a LOT. However, 98% of people who build them there are completely wasting their time and money. I've been in active PVP WH corps since 2009 and ask me how many fights I've seen in C1-4 WHs where there were caps involved that were ultimately won by the group fielding the caps. Go on, ask me. Spoiler alert: zero. This is far from the number of caps ive killed in low end WHs btw. (yes, i know they probably exist but theyre extremely rare and far between.) Sure, call me elitist, call me a bittervet, call me whatever you like; none of it is going to change the fact that your sh!t fit T1 rigged cap with T2 mods isnt going to anything remotely useful when you warp out your logi pilots to go pick it up. In fact, It should make it back to the fight just in time to watch your enemy start looting while casually killing it. As for newbie corps in C5-6 space? why do you assume newbies are entitled to have all the same toys vets do? This sense of entitlement is why no one is ever going to take you seriously. Theyre rookies, ofcorse they wont, and shouldnt, be able to do everything people who have been playing for years can! Why should a rookie corp with toons that should realistically be running C3s in drakes expect to be able to run capital escalations the same as old corps with 100mil SP pilots? Every game has a skill and learning curve, eve is no different. There's nothing wrong with being a rookie corp and doing lower end content in any area of EVE and WHs are no different. In EVE in general, and wspace especially, rookie corps should actually be rookie corps. If youre running cap escalations, hell, if you have caps at all, youre not really a rookie corp. BTW, the best way for rookies to get into wspace is to join an existing larger corp that is well established so that they can learn from people with experience. Maybe you should try it one day.
CCP gave players the means to pay for that "entitlement" with ISK and the new skill injectors (injectors - that make your years of skill training irrelevant). Experience is another issue - but - be it through trial & error or learning from other players their learning curve will be a lot shallower than yours was.
However - This post was not about years of service Vs entitlement.
It is about the 15 billion ISK price hike in the cost of a garage to park a Rorqual. At present it can be stored in a SMA at a dickstar and the Astrahus does not provide the promised functionality as its replacement.
We have a garage and would like a reasonably priced replacement for it. Not a car-port where someone could steal it when we need to change drivers and we don't want to spend all our time sat in it parked at the curb.

And Jack just confimed the point I made earlier in this thread about sitters (rofl) and brabbles some nonsense about others beeing too bad.

I raised this issue at the very start of Citadels and nobody cared at all.

If you can afford a crap ton of skill injectors, you can probably afford a fortizar which cycles us back to no issue, move along.

I can't afford loads of injectors or 17 Billion ISK for a Fortizar.
The idea that an individual or small corp could afford a Fortizar to park a single ship is ridiculous - Just like the majority of eve solo/small corp players it is well out of my reach.
We can afford an Astrahus where I could "Moor" my Rorqual -- as CCP promised -- before that option got throw out for the tether
The tether - LOL - Apart from being a pretty animation for an extended dock-undock invulnerability - does what exactly?
