I know this isn't a huge issue at the moment, but at the moment you can store capitals in a POS. For w-space this is a huge pain, because when POSes are phased out, you will no longer be able to store capitals unless you invest 7-8b in your wormhole. This is also a pain in the ass elsewhere, albeit to a lesser extent - so it would be nice if capitals could be stored in an Astrahus.
If the Astrahus is meant to replace the POS, at 3x the cost, it should preserve the functionality of a POS (which CAN store capitals).
HOWEVER, Supercapitals should of course remain restricted to the Fortizar.
At 20b each (even if they come down to 7-8bil each after like a year of blueprint research finally happens to get 10/20 BPCs onto the market), it will be punishing and prohibitively expensive to force everyone to buy a Fortizar in order to dock dreads and carriers. |

Would be nice to see carriers and dreadsable to but the rorqual which can't even defend itself should definitely be allowed to dock in them. |

^^ +1 to this, this is something I missed that should definitely be allowed to dock in Astrahus'. Although CCP plans to remove off-grid boosting with rorqs I think they should still be storable... |

If you can afford multiple capitals, you should be able to afford a Fortizar.
Sorry to say, but suck it up. |

a Fortizar can cost upwards of 30 billion and is going to stay wherever you put it. compare that to an 200 million investment of a small tower and some def which can be taken down in 15 mins... i would say this is not a crazy request to be able to dock some capitals in an astrahus which you have to spend at least 3 bill on and still cant move, since the offline time is 7 days and can easily be stolen by some guys with a half decent plan or if you simply cant log on in 7 days. (because who can be online with 100% certainty in 7 days) |

except there will be other cheaper structures to dock things in well before POS are removed. Remember Citadels are the most expensive of the new structures

Your numbers for the cost are way off.
Current Market price in Jita for a Fortizar: 17 Billion ISK (10 day moving average has it dropping closer and closer to the manufacturing cost of roughly 11 Billion not including the cost for the BPO or a decent BPC). The BPC is roughly 2 billion isk.
If you have well researched Structure component BPCs, you can manufacture your own Fortizar for 15-16 Billion ISK. Well under 30 Billion.
In terms of anchoring: the 24 hour period is annoying for all the Citadels but the 7 day un-anchoring period is the most painful. But this is irrelevant to the user's case: Astrahus should allow all but Super Caps to dock. I would like it if they could, but it would also mean that CCP would have to adjust the appearance of the Astrahus to accommodate tall Capitals like the Nag and FAXes. It also means that you have less incentive to invest in a Fortizar.
If you plan on living out of the wormhole for longer than a few months and plan to run capitals: get a Fortizar. They are not that expensive.
Now, what I would love to see CCP address is this: what kind of temporary structure will replace the POS? Since a POS can be put up and taken down pretty quickly, what replacement do they have planned to fill that gap to allow people making 'day trips' to have something that can be set up and taken down quickly and offer some defense of their assets while deployed.
Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

This makes absolutely no sense. I can afford a 1.3bil Chimera therefore I can afford a Fortizar for 20bil? You suck it up. The inability to dock carriers in Astrahus' is irritating and a massive nerf to small groups wanting to enter and hold low-class wormhole space.
Also, even if they are currently 15b and dropping to 11b - that is STILL massively expensive for small groups who want at most 1-2 capitals just to defend their space. No, it's not worth the price for a Fortizar. The astrahus is NOT an acceptable alternative to POSes. for w-space living and a Fortizar is a ridiculous investment for a low-class hole. |

Let me break this down for you. If you can raise 1.3 bil for a chimera, then you can raise 20 bil for a fortizar. You really can. It will (hold on.... doing math) take 15.3846153 times more time and effort (assuming the same rates of each) to come up w/ the fortizar.
I think the disconnect for a lot of millennials is the disparity between NOW and TIME + EFFORT when acquiring stuff. Trust me on this, if you apply time, teamwork and effort, then you can get a fortizar. Roll up your sleeves and get to work. You'll get something that is probably foreign to you (but totally free!) when you get your fortizar online. You will get a sense of accomplishment - trust me it's better than a participation trophy or that sprinkle covered ice cream you got for losing that home game (sport of your choosing).
TL/DR: eve doesn't hand out participation trophies, get to work and earn what you need. (stealing it is also acceptable in eve) |

Actually, most wh fits for a single cap of any flavor come to around 7-8 bil. The whiney OP was only quoting the hull price and ignoring rigs and fittings to further skew the argument in their favor. I call it millennial math. |

It makes perfect sense, and you stated the answer yourself. Your lone Chimera costs 1.7 Billion alone, and you said you have multiple capital ships, so that puts you in the price range of a Fortizar citadel, or atleast half way. Shouldn't be much effort from you and your alliance to cough up the extra dough.
Still not supported. |

Before I start I do not care one way or the other refering to the OP request, I simply have some thoughts on other posts.

Serendipity Lost wrote:The whiney OP was only quoting the hull price and ignoring rigs and fittings to further skew the argument in their favor. I call it millennial math. And the rest of you are only quoting the cost of the hull to try and explain why the OP can afford one. This seems to be a double standard, they are not allowed to use the hull costs only to support their point, but you are allowed to use the hull price only to support yours.
I have not given these structures more than a casual look because they are out of my price range and to be honest I have no use for one at the moment. Given that and the 11-16 bil price range quoted here for the fortizar hull only and looking at the costs for the various modules that could be fit into it the OP's assessment of 20 bil seems to be in the general range for one that is fully fit. |

It's not just about the cost but the mobility of citadels sure it's not bad cost wise if you can afford capitals . The problem is it is just stuck there, no more nomadic living. Hell if they just made it so only the owner could scoop and it still had its invulnerability timers during and after after the 7day takedown that would even be a good compromise. And we all know more structures are on the way but they still probably won't offer the same mobility or they will have less docking capabilities. |
