If defending a POB means your character is allowed to reengage the base siegers once you have died then no th rules should not be changed to give base defenders special status
As think of it like this if the base defenders could continue reengaging the base attackers even after they have died using different characters they have parked on the base then what would be the point in attacking the base as effectively the defenders will have infinite lives and eventually all the attackers will be killed and the base saved even though defenders may have died 2-3 times each on different characters before the attack ended thus making it pointless to attack a POB in the first place.
This is not fair, quite simply if your faction does not have enough unique human players to launch a defence of the base without having to reengage then your base should not be there and deserves to be destroyed.
This thread is stupid and has probably been produced due to some angry builder who is Q_Qing because he can't reengage base attackers to save it, we'll no sir. If you don't have the players to defend it your base will die rules should not be bent for this!!!
