it should also have no layer of defense (armor/shield)
As I understand,
Means that new structure or later on all structure will actually lose the reinforcement timers.
If no Quantum Core is installed, the structure will remain in the onlining vulnerable stage where the hull HP layer is exposed and the structure is vulnerable to destruction.
Removable is not really an option as a single core could then be used to online multiple structures.
An option to offline it would be nice (an offline core not dropping as loot would be great).
An even better option would be to forget the idea that one is required to finishing anchoring and only have the option to install one if you want the refit/repair/tether.
Some thought about the cost would be nice as 165% added to the cost of a Raitaru Vs 33% added to the cost of a Sotiyo seems a little unfair to newbloods wanting to make a start in industry.
Iām still confused. Say I have a structure up now, what will happen on the 12th of January? Will itās shields and armor drop and services stop without a core? Or will it remain functional and just lose tether, ship and module repair and ship fitting services, but otherwise remain the same?
What if it is attacked and brought into a repair cycle, will it fully repair without a core installed?
With todayās update you just pushing out every average hi-sec player.
So EVE is dead now because everything what you left to them is stupid PvE with no choice.
Iām personally quit only because of this and iām not the only one.
So āniceā work CCP.
Goodbye.
