+--- Thread: Admin Notice: Player Owned Bases (/showthread.php?tid=103290)
RE: Admin Notice: Player Owned Bases - Stuart.croll - 08-18-2013
Proposal
POBs
1. Make them easier to build
2. Make them easier to maintain
3. Take away their offensive capability. Allow weapons but only reactive to base attack.
Rant on.
Is there a problem with hundreds of POBs just existing on the server?

Yes, they'll block every passage to every system ever 'cause people enjoy seeing others die.

If this is a response to my post did you miss the part about taking away their offensive capability?

If there is an inRP reason, people should be able to block systems: like when traders use Guard Systems to shorten/make safer their routes. Why is it ooRP to kill a trader who enters Virginia/Ellesmere/*etc. just to avoid pirates/make a shortcut? They can easily make the guard faction neutral, and make the routes, which is totally ooRP, as they should not be there in the first place.

The game itself should set these system blocks. This should not be up to individuals.

I believe Prowler said the rollback would be 2-4 days...about a week ago or something. Any rough estimation of how far back it's going to go? Time's ticking on and though I appreciate the admin team are hard at work to figure out what the best options are, it'd be nice to know just how much we may lose.
Again, no pressure. Just a query.
*If* a rollback is performed, it will be the last backup prior to the beggining of the hacker attacks. So that's a set point in time, not a dimensional time figure.
I can't say for certain, but if you want a estimation, I would say probably August 11th, right before things went nuts.

Would be wonderful if the team can update the thread ~ with perhaps ETA and current progress?

I totally agree. But since there are no such built-in blocks, the players have to solve it for themselves now.
Other thing: please, Admins, could you make an official statement about the rollback? Everyone is confused as hell, and everyone makes wild guesses about it.

For example, I'm not interested in trading right now...
