I still believe there is a different direction that these changes can go that will not only maintain the status quo for we POB enthusiasts, but also please the people (me also included) who believe there are too many unused or abandoned POBs.

1. Increase the seconds per tick or reduce the amount of material each tick uses. Let it be easier to maintain POBs.

2. Make the barrier of entry harder. Let the large undertaking be at the very first step by reworking the level 1 of the POB level.
Core 1 - Very small HP and 1 slot. That slot would be used to upgrade. Let the blueprint cost be much higher than it is now, perhaps in the billions, and still require admin approval given the same request requirement. This will make people think before building a POB and require a good amount of work be accomplished up front.

3. Increase the deterioration rate once supplies are empty. #1 makes it easier and less time consuming to maintain the POB, let #3 penalize POB owners who are not keeping up with their POB. This would also quickly remove unwanted/abandoned POBs

I'm not even concerned about the crew leaving level as I always make sure there's enough FOW. Crew can all leave at once for all I care, no opinion on those levels.

If you are at all intrigued by my proposal, I can take it to the next level and provide numbers. Or if you think it's a bad idea, let me know and I'll shut up and return to my corner.

Just wondering how many Groupes you can make from:

1) The Wear and Tear (W&T) tick has been increased from 1 per 120 seconds to 1 per 60 seconds. - Will reduce the time non-maintained Bases survive.

2) Repair Rate has been increased from 2,000 per tick to 4,000 per tick - Bases will repair quicker.

3) If your Base has less Crew than is required by the Core Level, then the W&T rate will be increased by a factor of 6 - Thereby further reducing the time non-maintained POBs 'hang' around.

4) When Repairing a Base, they will now use 3 of each Repair Material instead of 2 - This will have the effect that a Base will 'use' 4,320 RA per day.

5) This overides the changes mentioned in the OP.
