I would love to see them not be scoop-able by everyone but it is a big change. Instead why not have another time limit? Such as 24 hours where only your corp can scoop it up. That way if some small life event happens( like your wife yelling at you to take out the trash) it won't completely ruin your game but let's other ppl steal it if you forget or something. It will also prevent people who have the time from waiting around a citadel spamming the scoop button which will happen since they can also take 7 days to plan on stealing it instead of getting lucky with the old 15~40 min poss takedown. |

Commit to your citadel. If you can't cover the end of your unanchor timer, don't unanchor in the first place, don't expect the mechanics to change to cover for you.
Your corp has four hundred members, your alliance 541. if you can't find one to be online in your prime time, that's not a gameplay issue. Not everything that can anchor can be unachored. I am for the, once you deploy it, your stuck with it. Time to be ****s deep and pray you don't get crabs.
aside from poco what else cant be unanchored?

you mean those trillion isk things that require sov, have way better refining yield/built in manufacturing, dont require fuel and wont be replacing pos as the new structure system? those outposts
Not to mention 100% indestructible even if they can be stolen. |

true they are more like an outpost but they will be removing pos at some point once all the new structures are added meaning that citadels are replacing the current pos, i know that its not a problem right now but once pos are gone people will be wanting to move their citadels. however no one really knows what all the new structures are so maybe they are going to add a good lower end structure close to the current pos system
The fact remains though that a 7 day timer that anyone can scoop up your citadel at the end of is quite ridiculous considering people have real lives and cant always plan that far ahead to up to the min. even a few hours grace period would be accatable |

3 hours in a week long wardec is not very much, and is half the "race period" i suggested. While RL happens, citadels are meant for groups large enough to overcome the RL problems of just a few of their members. This is one of the reasons I think they should not be unanchorable at all, and only removed by destruction ( oo another eve Profession: wrecking/demolition crews).
No, they aren't. M Citadels are specifically listed by CCP as designed for solo or small corps. We can debate if CCP have actually achieved their design goals, I think they failed miserably since the force multiplier effect of anything but an XL Citadel in Null/WH sucks, but that is what they listed them as designed for. And as such claiming that 'your group should be large enough to have massive redundancy' is silly. And even if you can be present at the exact time, the fact that 1 second of lag can allow someone else to steal your citadel is silly. The period of a few hours where only the unanchoring corp can scoop the structure after which it becomes a free for all is the best solution. You can't just forget about it forever, but a bit of traffic delaying you getting home, or some overtime at work isn't going to cripple you for sure.
If that's your argument just give a "no scoop" timer or something to the smaller ones |
