Dev Blogs say one thing, Sisi descriptions say another, what actually works is a 3d thing.
Looking for a Dev answer here.
Raitaru - no capitals, freighter/JR ok, Rorq ??
Azbel - blog says no caps, sis description says allows caps, regardless of combat capitals, rorquals ???
I would like to point out for a 6bn maybe 10bn isk fitted citadel the Azbel should really allow at least the Rorqual to dock. It is targetted as a manufacturing platform for capital ships, Rorquals will be used heavily in mining for them. As you cannot open your "Ore Hanger" up for fleet usage there is no way a freighter can float over and reasonably take Ore from Rorquals deployed in an asteroid belt 30k at a time from fleet hanger? Really?
Right now, you have to mine in the rorqual, dock in a fortizar, get a freighter haul to a Raitaru to reprocess (due to broken T2 rig costs) then haul it to a 3d citadel, an Azbel to build your capitals. Does any of this seem unreasonably clicky clicky and requiring 3 citadels seem annoying to anyone?
Just a reminder to CCP, not all industrialists have 300bn to deploy an XL citadel to make capital ships in a non janky way.
Hopefully at least Rorqs can dock in the Azbel and we fix the silly T2 Repro rig costs on L/XL citadels.

I understand CCP not wanting Rorquals on the Medium Citadels. But not allowing them on the Large is just derpy, so is not allowing capitals to dock in a capital shipyard... I get not wanting to have a 6bn isk capital hideout thats "easy" to deploy. But this is a non-issue. With a 24hr anchoring timer that is seen anywhere in space the idea of using one for forward basing is very costly and risky to lost 6bn of tinfoil if attacked.
Rorquals should absolutely be allowed to dock in Large Citadels, its frankly nuts if they are not able to. Let I knew you were not able to use fleet hangers while tethered.
And fix L/LX Repro Rig prices ffs. |

These buildings don't have any bonuses to refining, so like any other ISK aware person that want to maximize profit would still want the mined ores to be refined in a upgraded Minmatar station for the +10% bonuses.
But if the future Large Drilling platform would not allow the Rorqual to dock. That would be bad.
Because at some point Stations are going away. You also certainly can get a repro bonus out of citadels via rigs.
Ideally consistency of docking requirements across the Citadel/Complex/Platform sizes would be ideal. But industrial ships of any-stripe should be frankly allowed to dock in any Engineering Complex. If you can dock Freighters and Jump freighters rorquals should be included. Yeah I know "battle rorqs" but 95% of them will be used for a variety of industry purposes and while not optimal for moving materials, forcing industrialists to spend 2bn isk to get a freighter just to move between citadels is derpy. There is no logic that I can see behind it.
