I agree on the smaller password allowing us to help with running bases with no real major access to all that high level stuff. All I simply want is to see what the base has in stock so I can go haul supplies for it. Simple as that.
I also agree on base placement. I'm starting to get extremely annoyed at how many bases are being built at Jump Gates and Holes with a bunch of Weapons Platforms literally on the Hole or Gate. FFS. Stop making it so hard for pirates or nomads in the case of Omicron-74 to even move around. Give them a chance to at least interact by placing your weapons 2k+ away from the hole rather.
I heard this from a few guys, make base building a SRP request. I agree on that. The ability for any lolwut to make a base or even 2 in any place just seems crazy. I'm tired of random bases spawning without me taking those base killing missions. Hahaha.
We got almost 100 bases online currently. 225 player slots available on the server. Its like the systems to players ratio. All these players need to supply these bases and then all the illegal ones need to be sieged which takes ages. I don't think having random bases spawning is a good idea. Make it a SRP request so number 1, its already legit and not illegally built and number 2, we don't have to siege the damned thing. Number 3, the people making it are serious about it and not going to just use it to annoy people.
Actually, edited this after checking 103 bases are up. And after thinking on that Manchester base mess... Look, do you think 1 player should have 2 bases in 1 system? In the game, NPC bases aren't just in every free spot, why? Because building a real base is tough and takes a lot of effort to set up. How the bases are being set up currently is way too easy. All you need is a yes from a house and there, make a base. I really think bases need SRP requests because you shouldn't be able to make a second base just because you feel bored with your Core 4 base in the same system.
