| − | Engineering Complexes are a new type of structure introduced during the [[Expansion#Ascension|Ascension expansion]] (Nov 2016). These structures, and the service modules that came with them, are intended to replace research and manufacturing functionality previously available in [[Outposts]] and [[POS|Starbases]]. Engineering Complexes share much functionality with the other [[Upwell Structure|Upwell Structures]], and have medium, large, and extra large versions. Engineering Complexes are specialized to science and industry, with role bonuses to manufacturing and science jobs, as well as bonuses to Engineering Service Module fuel consumption. Engineering Complexes are significantly cheaper than similarly sized [[Citadel|Citadels]], but have a smaller tank and fewer fitting slots.
| + | Upwell Structures are player-built structures that can be anchored in space to provide services to capsuleers. Beginning with Citadels in the [[Expansion#Citadel|Citadel expansion]] (April 2016), these new structures are intended to as a complete overhaul of the previous structure system, replacing Outposts and Player Owned Starbases. Ships can dock in a suitable large Upwell Structure, and Upwell Structures provide hanger space |

| | {{main|Anchoring structures}} | | {{main|Anchoring structures}} |
| − | In order to anchor an Engineering Complex you'll need a ship with an appropriately sized cargo hold or fleet hangar, the right roles and a suitable spot to anchor your structure. After that the whole building process, while automatic, takes 24 hours.
| + | Upwell Structures are anchored from ships with a packaged structure in its cargo hold. They can be anchored nearly anywhere in space, expect certain important systems, too close to to other structures or asteroid belts, or in deadspace pockets. To anchor a system, a player must have the Station Manager or Director role in their corporation. Once a position is selected, a structure takes 24 hours to anchor, after which it becomes vulnerable immediately for 15 minutes, and must be defended. |

| − | == Tethering ==
| |
| − | {{main|Tethering}}
| |
| − | Tethering allows players with permission to dock in the Engineering Complex to remain in space without being targetable, essentially making them invulnerable. While tethered the structure will also repair any damaged modules fitted to your ship and drones currently in your drone bay. While you can move around as long as you stay close to the structure, several actions break the tether as well as stopping you from tethering to begin with.

| |
| − | {{main|Vulnerability States}}
| |
| − | You cannot attack a Engineering Complex unless it's in its vulnerability state. Engineering Complexes go in and out of vulnerability states depending on how the owners have set up its vulnerability hours, with the '''Raitaru''' being vulnerable for 9 hours, the '''Azbel''' for 14 hours and the '''Sotiyo''' for 26 hours.

| |
| − | Upon destruction of a Engineering Complex it offlines, becoming a wreck and ejects all online players with their active ship. The wreck remains behind ejecting a Hanger Container that holds dropped loot from the Engineering Complex.

| − | Player and Corporation assets (items, ships, etc) that were stored in the Engineering Complex can be recovered at a different station through the [[Asset Safety]] system.

| + | Upwell Structures have a fitting screen much like ships. Each structure has a number of high, mid, low, and rig slots, which can be filled with station modules. Like ships, high slots are primarily for weapons and some remote assistance modules. Mid slots primarily fit electronic warfare and remote assistance modules, while low slots fit passive and engineering modules. Rigs offer bonuses that specialize the stations operation. In addition, Upwell Structures can fit new service modules, which provide station services to players docked in the structure, but require fuel to put and keep online. |
