Yes, it does. Medium’s would nearly directly mimic POS mechanics, but rather than stront, you are simply changing a number in the UI to the duration you desire. Only difference is citadels require an active defense rather than passive guns - which were always a joke on anything that wasn’t a shredder vs a small gang anyway. How are POSes not dying right and left now in HS? Because most people can’t be bothered. And this doesn’t change suddenly because we’re talking about citadels instead.

That is not a valid reason at all. Lowsec groups of any relevance already had a POS network that already required fuel. If you’re trying to tell me this is a roadblock, then I’ll tell you these entities should have their structures destroyed just like their offline towers that they forgot to fuel. These lowsec groups are not losing their NPC stations so such a change would have minimal impact on them if any at all.

This is not stifling any game play, especially not intel gathering. Intel has typically been a person sitting cloaked off an undock, not tethered to a structure. Do you not understand this only effects those that were using structures as free-immunity and repair/fitting services from attackers? Why should all that power come at no cost outside of the structure itself? A POS did not give us a shield without fuel, an SMA was not usable in an offline POS, why should it now?

My suggestions push for more interaction. A team to keep them fueled and fleets to attack and defend multiple timers, not attack every timer then see a defense put up for the final timer.
I can’t even understand where you’re ideas are coming from to be honest. You sound like some carebear who has never actually paid attention to the game around him. Online POSes are not dying right and left in HS because people can’t be bothered to start the war dec to clear them anymore. Nearly no towers that are online get attacked, and if they do if the owner doesn’t put up a defense it dies - Just like an undefended citadel would. There is literally no change. Just because it’s a citadel doesn’t mean you suddenly have HS carebears changing their style of gameplay to go clear these things out. Even less so since now it’s not laying claim to limited anchoring locations!
You seriously need to get some help with these personal attacks buddy. You’d think I just threatened to delete your account if you refused to put in an ounce of effort to maintaining your structures.
