With the current spamming of citadels across New Eden, there has to be a way to check and balance the anchoring of Citadels, to prevent them from clogging up space. My proposal is to make structures ‘anchored’ to a celestial body and must be anchored within 1 AU of the body that the structure is ‘aligned’ to. Each citadel type would have to be anchored to a certain type of celestial body. Only one structure per body. Engineering complexes- Raitaru- Anchored to a moon or planet Azbel- Anchored to a planet Sotiyo- Without sov must be anchored to star, with sov can be anchored to planets Citadels- Astrahus-Anchored to a planet or moon Fortizar- Anchored to a planet Keepstar- Without sov must be anchored to star, with sov can be anchored to planets Refineries- Athanor- Must be anchored to a moon Tatara- Must be anchored to a moon or planet Navigation Structures- Ansiblex Jump gate- Anchored to a planet Pharolux Cyno beacon- Anchored to a planet Tenebrex Cyno jammer- Anchored to a planet Older structures won’t need to be aligned, but any structure afterwords must be aligned. All in all, I believe this system will reduce the structure spam that is seen in highsec and lowsec, as well as giving a cool narrative. ---

Yup imma just wardec on imperium real quick, and legacy, and gotg, and HRE, and … you get the point. If this was a problem with just 1 or 2 corps this would be fine, but the fact that it is a widespread issue across all of new eden says something about it. Edit: besides, salt, many people just stash away their structures in alt corps to protect themselves from wardecs ---

That has a solid shot at increasing structure spam where to prevent interlopers every slot would be taken preemptively in whole constellations. ---
