So, bases

[Bootsiuv]

Let's see...

Q: Which type of bases have caused massive problems?
A: Mainly the "hole/gate blocking" type

I would say, let's start there.
The rest of the bases do hardly harm anybody.

What to do?

Make a base rule. No PoB closer than 5k near any NPC object.
=> good visibility
=> good access
=> far enough to not allow insta-turrets
=> close enough to do some damage and cause a nice firework that tells you "They do not like you!"

I like this idea. It makes sense. Also, any base that adversely affects the game (ie plonking a level 4 base with platforms set to kill everything right on top of the NL/Leed jump gate) should be removed.

Then the player base i.e. community should have removed it before it became an issue.

My only qualm is the fact that a core 4 base is kept alive because of a game mechanic issue (too many collisions I assume)....if there is a way to fix this, then it should be done.

Reduce repair rates and lower overall hitpoints. It's not like they're hard to build anyways. An hour of time and a few million credits and you have a fully loaded base construction platform.

EDIT: If that is done, then lower the amount of resources required to build the base up to core 4 as well.

Basically, make pobs blowupable at the cost of reducing the amount of resources needed to build them up.

Your welcome. (bow)
