So, bases

[Thyrzul]

Doesn't make a difference that a base owner is not "sat on their base" all the time 24/7. If they are away from it trading goods ready to bring back, then they are still spending time "dedicated to the base". Very little time in fact is spent sat on a POB, mostly you are usually away from it trading goods for it, which is still time spent on the base - no matter how you look at it.

It pretty much does. Attackers are bound to the place while defenders doesn't even have to be in-game. Attackers get bored, have a break, you log in, do one run and resupply in minutes what they shot down in hours. The two doesn't seem to be proportional to each.

This is the short term, but on long terms of course base builders put more effort into maintaining their base as they have to supply it even when nobody is attacking it. That is why these efforts are barely comparable to eachother, and the system cannot be properly balanced without one side having a huge advantage over the other either short term or long term.

And THAT is why we need regulations, not game mechanics.
