    I'm going to buy some uri, and I want to know which is better. I really like how i personally could get up to 754k shields per config in citadel, and, of course, the hp, but it's also pretty slow and not too damaging. Aegis has slightly more damage and can rep itself, but in a fight with someone hitting more than 50k, citadel would last longer. If you bother to post, please give examples/reasons as to why I should pick either option.

    I'd go with an Aegis because of the repair abilities, it really depends on your flying style and what you'd be doing, more towards hunting or Npc farming, either way the Aegis is better in my opinion, it really wouldn't matter which would last longer, I'd rather hit more and be able to repair myself then be a slow and weak tank and essentially an easy target, with the elite Aegis design, the repair pod and shield repair ability both cool-down quicker meaning you can repair more in a fight, I just think the Aegis is all around better lol. Remember to only buy uridium on a Mega lol.

    I also say you better go for aegis, it's 50k uri cheaper, got good healing effects, and is very useful to solo cubs or shoot ubers.
    I sometimes use aegis but also got citadel but never use that one..
    Mostly i'm still flying in my trusted goli :)
     
  4. i would go for aegis for sure best option and i already have it and as BOSS~ADAM said it depends on ur style of playing npcs or hunting with good equipment u can do what ever you want with it and for citadel hmm i dont like fat and lazy ships and if u dont have good equipment on it u will be easy target for ufe so they will shoot citadel for more rp

    Aegis hands down for everything in the game. Citadel is only good for base sitting during CBS Prime Time.

    I have the Citadel. After purchase and usage I wish I had gotten the Aegis.

    I use the Citadel now only as a high cargo transfer ship for my Sep and Promi from Lab to ship.

    I know I will get better use of it once I find a good team to cruz with.

    Pilots need to remember this series of ships - Citadel, Aegis & Spear Head where designed to be used as a combination during "Team" activities and hunts.

    Together they compliment each other's abilities and with a good team of pilots, this Team would be nearly invincible.

    Imagine.. 8 spots for an outfit... 2 Aegis, 1 Spear Head, 2 Vengeance, 1 Citadel & 2 Goliaths... a well practised Team could rule any map.

    Although the Citadel has many good features I would recommend the Aegis as your FIRST purchase of the "Set".

    Regards.

    Aegis:It is faster, it allows you to farm gates/cubes, it is nearly indestructsible from npc, it is really helpfull on pvp and it repairs in 10 seconds.
    Citadel:Slow,useless abilities if you are not ufe,and makes no damage.

    I 'd definately choose aegis(I have 1 though).It allows you to advance in game and stand a chance in battles.Moreover You can do gates easier than ever before, due to the fact that you can repair on battle.

    Don't buy citadel, its a scum.

    I agree. I turned quite disappointed after using the Citadel for a few days. I have remained disappointed ever since. That's a ton of Uri to pay for the disappointment.

    I really wish Support would offer to "Exchange" my mistake. But I doubt it would be an option at this point. I've had it since the release. Only has about 10 hours on it though :rolleyes:

    Anyway.. I highly recommend the OP choose the Aegis ship over Citadel.

    Regards.
     
  10. If your Uber FE, the citadel can be a vicious ship. I have battled a ton of aegis, many times 3 aegis verse my citadel and was still victorious. It boils down to how much practice you get in whichever ship you choose to get. The amount of hp, shields, and the fact that you can majorly tank with assisted speed boost to help keep you up with your prey when they run...the citadel really has no equal. As a last resort the Fortify with the tank enables you to take on large groups of ships at once and still be the victor. I have put some videos up on the Internet to demonstrate the citadels true potential. Choose wisely if you do not have much uridium, cause the ship you choose may have to do you for quite some time.

  11. Citadel is good for CBS protection & initial combat providing you are in outfit with a Citadel to receive its benefits... i enjoy the aegis for singular attack mode or in outfit you can rep people with shields and what i like about it most is the rep pod and the HP repair, its also like running a vengie with extra specials :D

  13. You are all wrong about one thing , citadel is not slow!! if u see it has 20 generators +240 speed = 440 speed in total vs aegis 450 speed only 10 speed difference
    to put this in some prospective goli vs veng in speed is 450vs 470 and if and u can still be on range of shooting for 3 to 4 seconds until veng runs out... with 20 speed
    difference
    now to go citadel vs aegis the speed is only 10 and that means u can be in range of shooting for more then 4 seconds not to mention the travel ability.
    Now lets talk about power compared to the goliath its bad it can shoot max ufe up to 60 k on x4 sepeed boosted . but aegis doesnt have much either just 2 laser more which doesnt make a big diffrence comparing the huge ammount of shields and hp citadel carries .
    Lets talk hp if you are fully hercules boosted hp u can get up to 1 milion hp on citadel
    and around 570 k on aegis + 200 k hp rep = 770 k hp ( with heart formation 20% hp)
    so if u make the calc that 2 laser more aegis has doesnt make a huge diffrence if u make having a 1v1 lets say ...
    Then aegis is good for team work as it can save you or doing cubes :)
