Getting that drat itch to play this game again, its been a while though: Played mostly from 2005 - 2008/9 then burnt out, tried again in 2010 to pick it up but all my poo poo was in nullsec and my alliance was dead, I just couldn't get into it. Amazed my characters still exist, they're still showing on the EvE account management page, albeit with no portraits any more given how you guys have that fancy new 3D poo poo these days. The only real thing holding me back is I'm not sure I can be bothered with the sheer effort that would be required to liquidate all my poo poo in nullsec, if thats even possible anymore, and get up and running again.  Also what the hell are these "Content Packs"? You can buy basic skills? You don't have to get an ALT account anymore and leave it sitting there for months on end training it up before it became useful, only logging in to switch skills?

Where's your stuff located? Pretty sure there's enough people from coalitions in this thread that whatever the system you should be able to get something for the gear.

I haven't logged into EVE in ages, but Windows Defender just identified a Trojan in my long-dormant EReactor software. e. nm. https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan:Win32/Peals.A!cl But I deleted it anyway.

did CCP say they have a plan to get rid of hisec stations? It's sort of weird to go into a system and see a handful of barely-used stations

Join a HighSec Incursion group for a few weeks and you will have plenty of ISk to do whatever with. Then you could tack to Blackfrog to get your crap out to Jita before joining Karmafleet, P.Horde, INIT, MC (I forget what their newbee corp/alliance is called), ProviBlock, or whatever other alliance you want to get into.

I think they want to make stations NPC only, and while some systems indeed have way too many stations for their own good, I don't see them removing them at all.

Wait for a year and you want Citadels removed from HS.. They are nice, but they will glitter a system to poo poo. Removing stations from HS will be your least concern then!

They'll make them easier to kill when undefended eventually, or the game will be full of them. Not requiring a small amount of fuel was stupid, because the easy solution was "no fuel, no/one reinforcement and boom".

Not requiring a small amount of fuel was stupid, because the easy solution was "no fuel, no/one reinforcement and boom". That's a reasonable way to handle them, actually. Fuel = reinforcement cycles is simple, and even has a risk/reward/activity angle to it. Has this been proposed on

Not requiring a small amount of fuel was stupid, because the easy solution was "no fuel, no/one reinforcement and boom". No reinforcement is maybe too punishing, what I'd do is make no fuel = no damage regeneration / self-repair. So the owner still gets the same number of chances to save it, but it's also easy for even the most lackadaisical attacker to kill. (Solo a citadel!) That also means it wouldn't repair back to full health or reset the reinforce state until it got fueled again. So you get a little bit of a "decay" effect: even if the first attacker gets distracted and doesn't finish it off, someone else can pick up at the same place. Do citadel wrecks drop anything besides their fittings in non-wspace? Can you use salvagers on the wrecks? If there was even a very small profit motive to killing them, like barely enough to offset the wardec cost, that would clean them out pretty quick.

No fuel no reinforcement in my opinion. On top of that it should gradually take damage for every hour it spends out of fuel. Something like 3% per day. POSes should have worked like that too.

If they're anything similar it's a giant waste of time, thanks to asset safety existing.

BPCs, mats, and undelivered but complete jobs can drop. MorsAnima posted:30m in salvage from a raitaru. If they're anything similar it's a giant waste of time, thanks to asset safety existing. Ooooh, new idea: destroyed citadels drop some "Upwell Data Cores", which select NPCs will have buy orders for. It's like the black box recorder, they want to see how it performed in combat and what these capsuleers were doing with it. Bam, now you have a profit motive to kill even the abandoned astrahus with nothing but an ore reprocessing module installed. (And if you were really devious, you'd put them in the actual Data Core section of the market, so that people look at them and say, oh poo poo will we need these to invent tech 2 citadels?!)

Do I need any skills to anchor a citadel? I'm thinking about throwing up a astrahaus in a random rear end system just for it to be my personal piece of space trash that I can stumble upon years later by accident

Eh, not really. I have a tower one jump from Jita that I got by deccing a corp that owned a dead stick, killing that with a couple Taloses. It's some effort, which means too much for most players, but it's not a lot of effort.

I solo bashed Pocos in nullsec for a while and while the Talos has the most paper DPS. The oracle not having to reload more than makes up for slightly lower damage. FYI it takes something like 7 hours to reinforce a poco in an Oracle solo
