This reinforcement lasts for 24 hours.

Once the structure comes out of reinforcement it starts 15 ~~minutes~~ long onlining timer. If the structure is receiving damage more than 10% of its damage cap the onlining timer is paused.

Once the structure comes out of reinforcement it again becomes open to attack, and once a [[Quantum Cores|Quantum Core]] is inserted it starts a 15 minute long onlining timer. If the structure is receiving damage more than 10% of its damage cap the onlining timer is paused.

While onlining the structure has only structure HP. It has no armor or shield and it can be destroyed without any additional timers.

== Reinforcement cycles ==

~~{{update|10 Dec 2019 changes to timer lengths https://www.eveonline.com/article/q1y7xm/kicking-over-castles-coming-soon}}~~

The owner of the structure sets the reinforcement hour for the structure. This is used for determine when armor and hull reinforcement cycles end. Structure and hull fights will always occur at this set time ± 3 hours.

Attackers can see the reinforcement hour by [[hacking]] the structure with a data analyzer.

The default state of an upwell structure is to be at full shield. At this state the structure is attackable.

~~Once damage has been taken the upwell structure will begin a 15 minute repair timer that upon completion will fully repair the structure~~. ~~This timer however is paused while the structure is taking damage at least 10% of its damage cap~~.~~ ~~

Structures in abandoned state (no fuel used for 7 days) have no reinforcement cycles. Those structures can be destroyed in single attack. The repair cycles are still the same 15 minutes for shield/armor and 30 minutes for structure.

~~Once the shields~~ are ~~depleted~~ the ~~structure is enters~~ armor ~~reinforced state~~ and ~~becomes unattackable~~.

~~The armor reinforcement~~ will ~~last until next reinforcement hour that is at least 24 hours away with random ±3 hours jitter. In practice this means~~ that the ~~reinforcement will last 21-51 hours~~. If the structure ~~has no online service modules (so it~~ is ~~in low power state) there is no armor reinforcement. Instead the armor can be immediately attacked~~.

Once damage has been taken the upwell structure will begin a 15 minute repair timer that upon completion will fully repair the structure. This timer however is paused while the structure is taking damage at least 10% of its damage cap.

Once the structure comes out of armor reinforcement it will start a 15 minute repair timer that upon completion will fully repair the structure to full shield. Again the timer is paused by dealing at least 10% of the damage cap.

Once the shields are depleted medium/large/extra large structures with online service modules enter armor reinforced state and becomes unattackable. FLEX structures, abandoned structures and Large/X-Large structures with no online service modules (so it is in low power state) skip armor reinforcement and go straight to vulnerable armor phase. Being low power does not change the reinforcement phases for medium structures.

~~Once the~~ armor ~~is depleted the structure enters structure~~ reinforced state and becomes unattackable.

The ~~structure~~ reinforcement ~~''normally'' lasts until next reinforcement hour that is at least "minimum" time away with random ±3 hours jitter. If the~~ structure ~~was in ''low power state'' (no armor timer) the structure timer can be up to 12 hours shorter~~ and ~~the variance is ±3h.  In practice the reinforcement lasts~~.

The armor reinforcement duration varies by structure and space type.
