Admin Notice: Player Owned Bases

[Thy'lek Shran]

Hi Sir

How do people unlock Jump Drives and gear when the player bases are required?

I have gear that has to be sold on, and their is no other way to unlock gear without losing it.

You will have to wait until they bring the bases back, or contact one of the admins - If they have time they can beam it.

lets make PoB's as hard to kill as the bases you get in missions, but make them really really cheap. No resupply required, only supplying the parts needed for upgrades/production.

that way, you'd have a mixture of fighters/bombers and caps protecting the base, and protecting the transports bringing in the goods for the upgrades/manufacturing.

Groups of mixed ship types, prepared to defend something at all costs. Sounds almost like a space boat game i could get behind.

if the bases were flimsy and cheap, they wouldn't take eleventy billion hours and 3/4 of the server riding shotgun in a uberjuggerdreadnaught... and there would be a lot less qq if the base got popped, cos it would represent the work of a couple of hours, not a couple of months.

Take the example of the Golden Coin (man, how it irritates me they called it that. if i search for my posts, i get lots of molly stuff, but nevermind).

if the coin was flimsy, the sairs would have a reason to raid dublin "hit the base with everything we got"
the molly's would have something to defend.

and at the end of the day, if the base survived, that would be a 'win' for the home team.

but if it died, well, its not like its a massive time investment.

imho, they are too successful... disco needs credit sinks, but this credit sink was a sink too sinky. I stopped playing around the time the PoB's began, as there was no one to RP with:

all the traders became jumping zoners, and if you traded without jumping, you'd get hit by the same group of pirates four or five times a run, rather than what it used to be of once every four or five runs.

bring them back. don't fix them, make them much more swiss-cheesy, but cheaper. something a group of three-four gunboats can pop.


but don't make them cost the earth, as it has taken away interaction in a space boat fighting game.

Following the original point, Nicholas trade center is right there at O-49 - Yet O-40 is not owned by OSI, so the whole "official factions - in their official systems can build " theory breaks.

thats because OSI never laid any claim to O-49. so your badly done counterpoint is broken.

O-49 is a system for all zoners. same as O-74. which is a fact you and the lolwut brigade dont seem to understand with your bases of derpyness.

And now I realize why no one likes you. Oh well. Pope you said?

I like him.
It's just annoying having to explain and explain, while you be ignorant, so instead they just want to get to the point and make you understand. With frustration.


Coin, I agree with everything you said there. It's better off with it being easy to build easy to kill, but they always argue with the point of 'timezones'
But hey. They also said it was a teamwork thing to have a base, so timezone shouldn't be an issue

Frustration you say, I find it odd - Perhaps you picked the wrong victim, but I gather your name can be easily traced at any sensitive thread I'm involved, like a tumor really. Infact I feel frustrated now so I might go and do something else before I get frustrated yet again, there ya go. Better solution : Modify nothing, and we can all eat popcorn while you keep whinging about POBS.

I like Sabre. His actions are driven by RP that make sense. His avatar is also a comissar. I also think he made a valid point.

In contrast, I don't like you. Your and the ZA's RP is a bunch of lolwhuttery and headache inducing retardation that makes zoners look even worse.

In short. I see now why people dislike zoners. Because of people like you. ^^

How the hell does my name bring relevence? Okay. People can dumb down sentences -only- so much, without being direct.

Sometimes you have to be direct;
Please stop acting like a crying little kid about everything and wanting everything your own way, and try to read and understand what people say. Stop and think what you post about, gather your knowledge and facts, then consider your first thought. Is it stupid? Is it logical? Does it help? Does it make sense? Is it fair or unbiased? Does it have logic?
It helps a lot.
With this said, I'm not gonna bother replying to you anymore.


I wish PoB weren't available to everyone in some way... And PoB's seriously need to get changed now.

Are you on medication? All I see is a bunch of people un-happy because they cannot "destroy" a bunch of bases so instead they whine about it in the forums - Am I crazy now? Sure not all of them do because of that, but many of you do - Stop denying that. You still need those pills?

I think people are a bit annoyed that they can't play Zoners without getting shot up by a bunch of weapon platforms when they enter O-74, one of the main zoner systems. Weapon platforms that were placed there by a group whos RP is retarded, borderline rulebreaking and seems to solely exist to ruin the fun of others. And also somehow disappeared once they couldn't hide behind a bunch of POBs.

As for whining... http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=102980
Yeah. We're the people whining.

Also, stop pretending to be a victim, you knew full well people would be annoyed over what you and the ZA did.

[Anaximander]

^For the sake of discussion, why wasn't there a similar outcry to TAZ shooting up Zoners in Baffin?

Not saying there's no problem with the O74 bases, but from my PoV most base owners default to the same lolwutty actions, some just get away with it than others.
