Citadels

Citadels are an Upcoming Feature in Spring 2016

Findings so far:

Size

Astrahus: 8000m³ - anchorable with a BR for example, corp roles needed Fortizar: 80.000m³ - anchorable with a cargo-fitted Orca, corp roles needed Keepstar: 800.000m³ - pretty sure you can only anchor this one with a freighter ;)

Anchoring

- They all take 24 hours to anchor and are invulnerable while doing so. My guess is that this is subject to change. [i]Disclaimer:[/i] Anchoring seems to be a bit bugged. Anyone experiencing problems can join "Citadels" on SiSi and ask a CCP dev for help. They apparently set the timer to a few minutes (not confirmed) - You can move the anchoring position on the x and z axis. To move on y, move ship. - You can choose orientation of Citadel, i.e. the undock direction. Best use the Tactical Camera. - They [b]do not[/b] appear on d-scan while anchoring and not on the overview, unless you're on grid. - Combat probes don't work. - Minimum distance off anchoring ship is 50 to 60km. - Minimum distance between two citadels seems to be 1000km. - Tried deploying at a moon warp-in. Has to be at least 500km off the moon, any direction. - Moons and their warp-in seem to be two seperate entities concerning the minimum anchoring distance.

Online

- You can see the outside of the station while docked! - Ship, item, fuel and ammo holds are infinitely large. Fighter hangar is 100.000m³. It's possible to overload the fighter hangar i.e. you can switch between squadrons although the hangar and launch tubes are completely full. - The tethering ring are the little lights arranged in a circle around the Citadel. A faint blue line and a symbol above the HUD indicate whether you are tethered or not. Screenshots - Keepstar bugged. If I warp to 0, I land 5000km off. Bookmarking the Keepstar and warping to BM works. - D-scan possible while tethered possible, not while docked. - All Citadels now show up on d-scan. On the overview only when on grid. They do appear in space though. Not warpable at the moment. Screenshot - Citadels only appear on the overview when on grid. - You can not deploy probes while tethered. - Citadels have standard ship safeties. - Using weapons and other modules seems to work just like on normal ships. Fighter control is the same as for capitals (after the capital changes). [url=http://imgur.com/a/T5sH9]Screenshots[/url] - Empty ships in the docking ring are not tethered. - Tethered ships are d-scan-able. - At the moment no brackets and overview while in outside-view mode. Don't know if bug, intendend or I just haven't found out how to turn it on. - Targeting and acquiring a weapons timer breaks the tether. - Being tethered repairs you ship. Pretty fast. Titan at 20% armour in probably less than a minute. - Boosts are passed while the boosting ship is tethered. - Ships are bump-able while tethered. Rumors have it this is not intended.

Misc

- Don't warp your Orca to 0 while anchoring. It will get stuck. Capsules and BRs are fine.

Citadels set up so far:

Nullsec

- Tried setting up Astrahus at sun warp-in. Didn't work. Moved it until the Citadel placement model turned blue. Now 0.74AU off the sun. Accidentally landed at a moon. - Anchored Fortizar 1000km off the first Astrahus. - Anchored Keepstar 1000km off both. - Anchored Astrahus at an unaligned safe-spot. Aligned what I think is the undock with sun. - Anchored Astrahus 500km below moon warp-in. Had to deploy 200km off my ship and not the expected 50-60km. - Anchored Astrahus at Data Site. Must be 500km off.

Groups

Groups and the structure browser both are found in the Business menu of the neocom [1] You start will a group called my corp you can not edit this group. To start make a new Group with the button [2] [3] The group will start with you in the admin role you can add more Character/corp/alliances by dragging them from people and places menu or any other place like chat or a linked name [4] the roles in the group are in order [5] Admin .......

Before assigning any structures to this new profile I will add group to each roll on the profile setting tab [9] the difernt rolls groups can get are in order [10] Docking . Defense . Clone Bay . Corporation Office . Market . Reprocessing

Defense is taking control of a citadel and is the only way to get it to shoot. afaik
