Modifying tether to not be as dominant

If you look at the tether as the reimagining of the POS forcefield then you can see why they exist the way they do. In a POS anyone can sit inside the shield and also be outside to see their surroundings.

In a pos you also cannot dock, nor get repped automaticly, not can you jump clone & vice versa. I understand your argument if it being a replacement and get that most likely being ther eason for it being the way that it is, but that doesn’t make it a good game mechanic.

@Algathas

while they are safe tethering they don’t get free guns to shoot you at the same time.

However even the smallest of citadels got more firepower than any old POS.

@Algathas

That being said, the invulnerability timers of citadels are pretty bad and cause a lot of spam of them.

You should read my post regarding making citadel timers stront based

@Algathas

Maybe require fuel for tethering to be active or to keep the invulnerability.

That could be a function, but problem with that way is that it will just be a few structures (where it matters) that will have it and then we are essentially back to square one.
