Leading on from this [[User:Sally digital|Sally Digital]] noted that the the idea of a communal [[Player Owned Starbase|POS]] had often been kicked around by members of Project Solitude but quickly discarded due to the complexity and restrictions of POSes. However the announced introduction of citadels by CCP presented "the opportunity for a massive communal project to build, deploy and maintain one of these structures for ourselves, for the benefit of our fellow Solibro’s and, possibly, the wider Solitude community." At the same time the name "Gravity Well" was coined as a title for the proposed project. | ||
The following discussions agreed that the construction of a citadel in Solitude by members of Project Solitude was desirable. However a number of factors had to be considered including feasibility; location; type and function of the citadel. Along with this a major point of discussion was who would end up "holding" the Citadel. At the time little information had been released on citadels so most discussion went into a hiatus. However the idea that Project Solitude should and would establish a Citadel in Solitude had been agreed and that once more information was released the campus would undertake the project. | The following discussions agreed that the construction of a citadel in Solitude by members of Project Solitude was desirable.
