Without any real costs???
Well, pardon me, last base [KNF] took down, consumed me 6 straight hours, and another guy other 7 straight hours, and many people were coming and going within those hours with numbers close to those.
I've been doing both things, sieging bases and helping to build a base.
Building that base is more chilled, less stressful and, to a certain point, easier, you don't have to worry about who is there, more than you worry about a regular hostile.
To take down a shielded base, you need a hell of menpower, a lot of straight time, and pray to your god that the people supplying the base lives on the other side of the world and are sleeping, or you will have to deal with many many "re-supplying" transports coming with fuel or alloy, time after time even if they were just destroyed.
