Everything you said about the bases in your post is totaly right. The time it takes for them to be build, maintained and destroyed is really a lot but its necessary. If we all want a possible change maybe we can start by giving a reasonable proposals.
Here a simple idea of mine how to fix the bases without causing too much trouble for the devs and the players:
-Leave everything as it but make the base builder ship given only by admin.Before you spam me read forward ->
There should be a thread where everyone can request to build a base but the base builder ship will be given only by presenting a good RP background behind this construction. That can be done by filling a simple template with few questions (created by the admins or the devs) which can also accept or deny the requests depending on the overall information behind them.
In that way the admins will maintain order by "removing" the possibility of an OORP base to be build somewhere and cause problems in both RP and OORP.
What means an OORP base? - A base build in system, where it cant be build in RP, by a faction/independents, which are using lawful/unlawful characters just to make the things more simple. Such a base - which dont have the approval of admins, official factions and most of the other players is an OORP base which wont bring anything good but problems. That can be prevented by the above idea.
Opinions about all this?
PS: Since this thread name is "Corsair base in Cam" I will say few things about this. Such a base, in Cambridge, build by the corsairs is equal to Armed Forces base build in Omega-5. Those that know the lore and actually are trying to follow the RP of their factions would definitely support that. It may be possible for the players to build not 1 but 10 bases all over cambridge, but will that follow the RP or make the overall image more better?
