Was planning/thinking about a Citadel and now, based on this discussion and a good look at the killboard, I think I will pass. I tend to agree with OP that these things are underpowered. Weapons should be strong enough for the investment in hull and mods to knock out a ship or two when manned. I don't mind the fact that the weapons are not automatic... I do mind that a small 2-5 man team can take an Astrahus down without a loss or two.
If I do build, I'd probably not equip it with weapons... they seem to be a waste of ISK. I really think the killboard tells the story on the Astrahus. It's not a threat whatsoever. If a larger corp. wants to attack a one-player clubhouse with 20 ships, fine. But it should be a problem to do so with a handful of ships, and its clearly not. If the clubhouse is defended, it ought to be strong enough to take down a ship or two per defensive level (shields, armor, hull). That would be fun for the attacker and defender alike. Could bump the loot drops in highsec to make it more worthwhile to balance the risk/reward while still keeping the asset safety mechanic.
Just my .02 Perhaps not totally relevant to the highsec situation, however if you look at the battle report in this reddit thread:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/5q9x25/escalating_entropy_whelps_more_cap_ships_against/
You'll see >90% of the damage was done by the Citadel, taking out the capitals, with just support coming from a subcap fleet. The fact that it was Capitals helped with the damage application though.
I don't know what the truth of the situation is in highsec, I just know that in general most highsec Corps are terrible at PvP and organising themselves to defend anything other than their own individual wallets. So it's probably more complicated than "Citadel defences are poor" when most corp organisation and sense of shared values are also poor.
There are definitely some very good PvP Corps/Alliances in highsec that it would be difficult to defend against, but for the most part if you keep your head down, you won't have to. |
