  1. A really annoying thing is a clan who have multiple members that possess the citadel ships and to protect their battle station, they all go into their citadels, tank up and just sit on it and spam draw fire...
    For those who don't understand what happens is, members go into citadels and due to the size, they can easily swamp the core so its impossible to lock the middle and they also use draw fire so you shoot their millions of shields as base and the other members destroy you.
    This makes it really hard to pop a CBS and to pop this you really need some serious firepower to take all the players out. And in reality it is just really boring knowing that you and your army could take this base down in a proper pvp fight. And due to this technique, the attacking players grow tired and retreat... destroying the potentially intense pvp battle.
    So maybe to prevent this, have another way for the attackers to lock the core of the base...
    It will be a bit hard to implement but maybe, once you are inbetween the modules, there is a diagram of the base and you can chose what part of the base you can shoot...
    I don't think this will be too bad of an idea apart from the biggest problem i can think of... lag. But this should be adaptable just like crazy cubes

    The cure for that problem is as follows:
    5 spearhead ultimate cloak and stack on the base centre and coordinate a DDM drop. 5x20%=100%
    All ships stacked on the base pop, then you get your friends to pop the base.

    Hence why citadel is called a tank: It ain't a tank if it can't absorb damage.

    Defending is kind of the point of citadel
     
  5. if you are own our server shockwave you can park 3 citadels over hull module make it impossible to lock but yet the enemy still locks it, shoots it, and on top of that uncloaks and does all the above while sitting under all three of the citadels lol. figure that one out and you will be good to go
     
  6. Lol stop complaining bro, I seen citadels on CBS still not help and it gets poped, like the guy said earlier when poeple spam DDMS we all get poped when we dont move
     
  7. don't know why you girls are crying. We get 5+ citadels on GA1, and me and my clan have taken out bases who still do it, so have many others, it's not hard at all, only way i find it hard is when it's laggy and i can't properly fight inside their base. Also it's a cheap move to aim for the center anyways, not that i don't do it, but it's cheap and shows how bad this game is that something so expensive is so easy to destroy.
     
  8. :eek: Sit and tell - lol

    I think that these days everyone has enough modules to solo build a CBS, modules that they've aquired while colledting pirate booty boxes for apis, zeus, lf4 etc. Now with the credit repairs you can repair 10 modules for 1.5 mil credits, basically for free. Where's the expensive in this?

    On Topic: You're just too frustrated that they're too powerfull and you can't kill their base. Shoot them citadels with WIZ rockets and you'll be able to lock the center of the CBS.

    I'm actually not a big fan of cbs, so i'll give you this one and i'll take your word for it.
     
  15. Not a huge fan either. I build one every now and then so wars come for it, i get 10+ kills with just x3 and they're mostly UFE players.

  16. Meh, CBS are already easy to destroy. Just get 3 UFE players BAM, what base?
    Also, just wiz them like someone above said, you can click the CBS hull crap.

  17. 3? it takes me and 2 non UFE, although 2 of us close, and the other meh, still good though, and take down 6 UFE attempting it. There's a clan in top 9. we held a base for 4 hours fighting them, yeah, shields down for 4 hours never trust a certain member again lol. they hate us for being better with so few. We held it for 14 days and always stomped them, then one day they had to get 20+ eic to come for it when i was the only one on it, then that same group tried our lvl 1 base in 3-7, we annihilated them with 4 players guarding it. :D
     
  18. You can combat the citadels on many ways But I dont think a citadle can protect the base by absorbing fire or can it? I thought it only absorbs fire when a player is attacked. Hence, a spear head or 2 or 3 will nullify that easily, also, use of venom will help since a citadel cannot rep itself.
     
  19. EMP or Battle Repair bot, or both in conjunction will help.
     
  20. it has Draw Fire it can technically draw in the fire shot at anything from an enemy. People used to troll bots with it lmao.
