I travel the system quite a bit and I am noticing bases all over and they are growing in numbers, there should be a limit.
1: So many Private Bases per sector when it's full to bad - system is full.
2: I agree with the rules to a extent 10 km from any jump/hole is fine but to attack right away is not cool especially for traders trying to do a delivery this isn't appropriate and I also like the info card idea.
3: To the Admins... the bases make all kinds of money they want to position their base near a planet, a mine-able area, or a jump gate or even being in a sector, then tax them each month a % of their earnings. If they fail to do so then they must hand over a certain amount each week with interest till the debt is paid off. This happens in the real world why not here.
This is just one point of view and what I see is going to happen if it's not controlled, there is going to be all kinds of bases and harassment and people will drop the game like a bad habit. It will no longer be a fun game we play on the site and server to break away from daily headaches and we don't need it here.

I've already stopped playing for a few days after some fight I was in recently, lawfuls hugging POBs. Causing insane lag and massive drop in framerate (on my netbook).
Just lost motivation to even bother logging in.
If it was like this last time they had player bases, then I don't know why the hell they brought them back, I am now of the opinion that they ruin the game, serve no purpose, and spoil people's fun.
Get rid of the ridiculously OP weapons platforms. Problem solved, people still have their invisible bases to run if that's what they like doing, and other people can ignore them and get on with playing Freelancer, if they can put up with the extra lag they cause.
Hello Admin....I have seen so many post about the POB's yes they are a weed and affect our game play big time. Lag time, internet time-outs, crashes, etc.
So here is a idea since there are players who have the funds myself included and well the weapons and other devices we can install are limited why not open a Admin run base that offers any weapon, any shield, engines, dock mods, equipment software that allows us to incorporate any tech hardware without power drains.
Make the prices high so a person has to work for the component, give bonuses to player who do well, offer gifts to exceptional players who assist new players helping them understand the dynamics of the game make it worth playing again.
Just a single thought you want to keep us around then well your gonna do better then the POB's where is the reward for the rest of us who have to put up with nonsense, honestly I have no motivation to log on maybe now 2 X's a week where it was everyday all the time. I know there is many others that feel the same way as I do.

If you have no motivation for logging, maybe you do something wrong? I mean I´m logging to have interaction with players and continue building RP relations with some of them on my chars. It´s not about equipment, ships or POB´s or any other shiny toys. This is RP server, so did you try RP too?
