Raitaru setup:
[Raitaru, Raitaru fit]
Standup Ballistic Control System I
Standup Stasis Webifier I
Standup Target Painter I
Standup Guided Bomb Launcher I, Standup Void Guided Bomb
Standup ASML Missile Launcher I, Standup ASML-MD Missile
Standup Heavy Energy Neutralizer I
[Empty Rig slot]
[Empty Rig slot]
[Empty Rig slot]
Note: The above setup includes only defensive modules, and will only work in Lowsec/Nullsec space due to the Guided Bomb launcher. Rigs and service modules are empty because they will differ significantly depending on the use of the Citadel! Put on which services you need only as they cost fuel, and rig it for whichever activity you intend to do most of!

Quick, concise, to the point. Great vid.

best vid i found on this topic in 2020

[@esausilva945]

Great video as always.

[@SMSGTREUSTER]

Nicely done

[@crymric]

Make more vids like this please! :) They are great!! :)

[@sl0tti]

Good video, would like to see risk assessment on the wormhole side of things -> Risk vs Reward when there is no asset safety in wormholes and your take on the matter whether CCP should make adjustments on structures anchored in wormhole space since its comparable to 0.0 where there is asset safety (Bonus benefits that scale where you have anchored). Cheers :)

[@Z-S-H]

As far as wormhole use goes I go by the simple rule of everything in a Wormhole is expendable. Anything can be destroyed and lost so manage all your assets appropriately. Now that being said the use of the clone bay on a citadel is very convenient and if that is all you have online the fuel use isn't bad. Citadels allow each member of the corp to store assets and it not be in a corp hanger like a POS again very convenient. Also if you do not online any standup service modules you have a home that doesn't use fuel at all where you can store your stuff. As asset safety goes I think that it adds additional flaver and risk to WH space if you can't afford to lose everything then you probably dont need to be there I am not talking down to anyone merely stating a reality. There is a large difference between living in a WH and day tripping in one as far as risk of assets goes. If you take the risk of losing your assets then you have the convenience of having more assets and therefore more options on hand which in my humble opinion is a balanced trade off.

[@MarkTarsis]

For a solo player a citadel is probably going to be at more risk than a properly setup large POS and more expensive as well. But for a corp, living out of a POS is a real pain and having what's basically a station is a God send for them. Defense may be easier for them as well since they can plan to be around during the vulnerable windows.

[@Z-S-H]

If I may I just wanted to add in that a citadel is a little more of an initial investment cost but the long term cost of fuel is actually less if you only use your citadel for asset storage and don't run a lot of services since only the services use fuel. The tower uses fuel 24/7 365 and that adds up. It's all in how you long at it and how long term your plans are as to whether the investment cost is worth it. I'm talking about an astrahus btw when speaking of investment cost but the principle stays the same.

[@Bighughganus]

Boki, that’s hilarious. I was doing some null data sites and you kept popping into the system to drop ships off

[@VesselT9]

I'd love if you did a video about LS Citadel set up.

[@adsnipers7867]

who else clicked off at 3:22 then realised the video wasn't finished and had to come back XD

[@AndrewTGreen]

Very cool. Thanks for this!

[@Fractal227]

Buy 3 raitarus, place them in low populated null-sec next to high-sec systems. Kill whoever comes to destroy them = fun times ahead.

[@MrGrubee48cc]

WAAAAAAY Ahead of you.

[@user-ck3cp6uc1e]

You had me fooled @3:25 LOL!

[@Merronsk]

What is the fuel consumption for a Citadel and its modules?

[@aknsanl4223]

Was going to ask this.

[@MarkTarsis]

The Citadels themselves don't use fuel, just the service modules. The amount of fuel they use varies from module to module. A simple Raitaru with engineering/lab type modules that it gets bonuses on will probably run a monthly fuel bill somewhere between a medium and large POS.

[@Merronsk]

@Mark thank you for the answer! :)

[@zanarothbloodfin7874]

this should be called the chribba video

[@DiscoveringThailand]

Can an Admin other than the owner add fuel blocks to the fuel bay? And can the Admin put modules online like reprocessing facility?? cause I as admin can " Take Control" and open Fitting but cant do the above? Seems only the Admin/Owner of Astrahus can yet I want my Admin to be able to do those things.

[@coreywuertz715]

Can citadels be moved after depoyment?

[@GameArchiver]

The description says 'Ditadel' instead of Citadel. Apart from that nice video :)

[@SargonOfAmerish]

lol he still never changed it #Ditadel xD

[@Fjsouth]

whats fuel use for a month? they can burn any of the 4 cubes right? is it worthwhile for the medium size?

[@klgft9020]

play it at double speed

[@damneddriver9872]

it'll be nice to understand the best rigging setup - is it make sence to put tripple reprocessing rig if i planned to use it as a reprocessing plant? is it worth it to spend isks on t2 rigs? thank you

[@Parobro]

Damned Driver there is no "best" rigging and no t2 is useless

[@colinparham8255]

What ship can deploy and carry the Keepstar Citadel?

[@billybobj9988]

freighter

[@MrNintoku]

How do you find which systems are the best in terms of Systems Cost Indexes to anchor a Citadel, preferably a Engineering Complex like the Raitaru? Do these Indexes change due to security level, type of engineering complex etc.

[@wolfhunter98]

Are the bomb launchers that much better than the missile ones?

[@crippleingdepressionismyfu7157]

Could you do a vid on carriers next? :D

[@oceir0s836]

Great video, as usual. Do you have an in game channel?

[@resurrectionx5952]

can they kill it in the 24 hour anchoring period or othervvise exploit you ?

[@FlamedAce]

And do you unanchor the citadel do you decomission it first ? or theres something else?

[@StrokeMahEgo]

Depends what for. If you want to move it or sell it. You can sell it in place with a transfer. If you want to pick it up I believe you have to make all the services inactive, then begin unanchoring

[@luv2stack]

What is someone destroys the citadel. Will everything inside it get lost?

[@rockyalvarez3526]

No only your shit....everyone else's stuff will be fine!

[@Snowmanfree]

Wanna make the Corp guide management? Please

[@dalchi9000]

Please do an astraus i want to get setup in a wormhole

[@Parobro]

Dalchi deploy it, simple ha?

[@hiroki_rinn]

I just started dabbling with Cits and I’ve yet to figure out how to restrict Corp members. Sat from taking control of the citadel. I’ve reviewed various forums and EVE-based Kbase articles on how access lists work from corps being greater than “everyone”, etc. but no dice. Any site recommendations for that intel? If it’s even a thing. @_@

[@KyleMaxwell]

Been thinking about doing one of these myself, but need to figure out a revenue model where it makes sense.

[@kcho760]

i use it as a staging point for my jump freighter to jita. A million times safer than a normal station and I also use it to research my bpo's, manufacture my goods, and a quick and free jump clone right next to a market. for a very low start up cost it's worth having your own.

[@corran8535]

how do unachoring citedal?

[@doomf0rc399]

Raitsaru got a market??

[@EPICZREILLY]

@EveBusinessInsider check your spelling of Citadel in desc "Ditadel Placement" XD

[@Yuuzhan]

2 years later, still there.

[@rockyfalldownstairs]

@@Yuuzhan 3 years, still no fix

[@Corusame]

Why no more vids?

[@patrickdeoliveira6434]

Can a solo player feasibly defend a Raitaru in a C1 wormhole?

[@baileyjones159]

No definitely not.

[@mikeyt918]

Always dependent on what you're up against.

[@elianpiano9543]

Hold on, you can OWN these? :o

[@colinparham8255]

Yes, if you have the ISK for it. You need to own the Citadel and a Quantum Core so it can operate

[@rolandrayar9336]

can a solo player own a citadel ?

[@Durangedkitten]

You would need to be in your own Corp that is a week old if you wanted to anchor a pos/citadel. Also you would need the isk for the citadel plus a way to transport everything. But yeah i imagine a solo player could do a citadel.

[@dravenlestat882]

Yep sure can. I have all 6 of my characters in the same corporation and I have my own Engineering Complex set up to increase manufacturing efficiency. I'm about to put up a second for reprocessing!

[@Durangedkitten]

Oh thats pretty cool. I was gonna put up an astro in my wormhole but decided against it and just went for a True Sanshas medium POS

[@mikeygames5946]

Couldn't keep watching it after you said Chribba for the 80th time... Like holy shit, we get it.

[@moofymoo]

this tutorial is now outdated, latest Microsoft Excel update changed many things.

[@overlordprincekhan]

Cribba is his girlfriend?

[@maxxomega6599]

Sorry, talking way too fast. I need time for info to sink in, especially when I haven't done this. Also, after following the simplest video, I STILL cannot get any ACL to work and sadly I cannot get any in game help I can trust... I'm gonna self destruct my Astrahaus, I have no use for it...and no you can't have it...

[@padengregory3504]

just a reminder Bob killed Steve....... moment of silence for Steve.

[@justreallybored6014]

Holy shit, is his voice sped up? I cant understand a word he says as he is talking fast than the human brain can understand.

[@aaronsandman749]

I can understand every word he says. You okay?

[@logankaneproductions8263]

Dude... This is technically NOT a Citadel.

[@gfox9295]

You are technically correct. The very best kind of correct!

[@johnhannington2877]

If you're going to do instructional videos you need to SLOW DOWN, you talk too fast dude! I won't subscribe just because of that alone.

[@rockyalvarez3526]

Dude this was not a Citadels for dummies video. Special Ed classes are just down the hall to the right lol

I stopped watching after he said "AF"

[@jfw3x]

Slow down. Have consideration for your audience. 😖
