Player Bases Idea - SMI-Great.Fox - 08-04-2013
Welp. That kinda of talk again.
Lets get the groans and moans out of our system.
I had a bit of a thought come to mind as of late when it came to myself looking at all the player bases on the server. 79 Bases. Seventy.... Nine... Kinda much don't you think?
So a question came to mind: How can we reduce all these into a far more manageable amount to help the server stability and problems along with POB's?
This is my idea:
Quote:Bases would be reduced to 1 Lawful and 1 Unlawful per house.
Lawful Total across Sirius and Gallia: 5 Total Bases.
Unlawful Total across Sirius and Gallia: 5 Total Bases.
Now there would be exemptions to this rule:
Quote:Bases permitted to factions without a House:
Outcasts - Corsairs - GMG - Junkers - CR - IND - SCRA - IC - IMG
Factions Questionable:
Zoners - Council - HF
Reasons behind the questionable ones is due to there being several official factions in the Zoners, (TAZ - OSI - Phoenix), and the Council being in Sirius and Gallia at the same time, Rousillion and Champange for example. Hellfire recently being Disbanded and Admins unsure of what to do with the faction.
Now when you think of 1 Unlawful base, there would be clashes. However it is proven that hostile factions will come together at some places in order to trade goods, get drunk, or blow each other to hell and back. Example: Kusari. With its unlawful factions being split and hating both sides, there might be a place that they can forget their differences and settle down. Tottori comes to mind to an extent for placing Kusari's unlawful POB.
While the issue on who runs the place is one I can't really figure out for the unlawful parties, for the Lawful ones is very simple. It would be owned by their collective Governments. Kinda makes simple sense.
With this idea, we could reduce the server load total from 79 bases, to around 20.
Let the Disscussion begin.
Pro's:
- Would improve Server Stability
- Would Stop Harmful player interation and Improve RP quality
- Would simplyify player interaction and streamline player traffic.
- Bases would be maintained by factions to a proper form. Example: No IMG transports supplying a Corsair base
Con's:
- Might/Would create OORP Grudges
- Would create friction on the basis of "Official Faction Toys"
- Already established bases would be removed
- Would eliminate player base compeptition (Could also be a Pro)

A convenient idea. Would avoid any future inconvenience caused by "badly" placed PoBs placed on purpose to stop or hamper down certain traffic, and moreover, it will tone down the spam of PoBs who possess little to no RP.
But, I have a question: Reducing the number of bases means destroying the bases who exceed the number you calculated. What would make the owners of those bases agree with this idea, considering the amount of time and work you have to put in a base?

So POB's become another "only for official factions" toy?

Now I didn't say anything about official groups only toys Zelot.
This is just a very rough idea that came to mind.
And yes Ed, Such is a good thing you posted. Such would have to come to an agreement with the entire community.

King's Cross comes to mind. So far I havent seen any issues there.
Personally I think it's one of the Top POB's on the server and is a great example on how thing's can be done right.

Who will decide which group of people will have right to place base? First come-first served?
