So, capitals (Carriers, Force Auxillaries, Dreads, Rorqual) can dock in the Large citadel (Fortizar), but for the new Engineering Complexes are restricted and can only dock in the X-Large variant.
Is there a reason they can dock in a large for standard citadels, but cannot in the engineering complexes? |

Fair enough, but all three sizes, including the medium are significantly lower than their citadel counterparts. It is reasonable to restrict carriers, dreads, and FAX's. However the rorqual is an industrial ship and can have a need to dock at a large. |

I think that this will be going to be a big problem when the POS structures meet their end. Cuz now you can hide your Rorqual capital industrial ship in any POS but you can't dock in MEDIUm and LARGE Engineering stations. The result is that we need to buy Fortizar to dock our Rorquals or X-large Eng station(50bil). I am missing the point really.By the way the problem is the same with the Orca industrial ship! Please CCP think on this more seriously, the main industrial capital ships have to allowed to dock at least on the Large Engineering station.
Exactly!
At this point, not critical as POS still exist in the game and you can store the ship in an POS module. Once POS are removed, you are forced into having an XL EC or M/L Citadel. |
