Player Bases Idea

[stupidnames]

Pro's:
- Would improve Server Stability
- Would Stop Harmful player interation and Improve RP quality
- Would simplyify player interaction and streamline player traffic.
- Bases would be maintained by factions to a proper form. Example: No IMG transports supplying a Corsair base

Con's:
- Might/Would create OORP Grudges
- Would create friction on the basis of "Official Faction Toys"
- Already established bases would be removed
- Would eliminate player base compeptition (Could also be a Pro)

I see them becoming like the barge used to be (and now is again) if they were to become Official Faction only items, abused for a short time by some, used properly by others, until they fade away into the admin storage lockers not to be touched by the community.

Why not just make POBs SRP only for friggin' sakes!? No issue concerning 'official faction toys', yet would, I think, improve RP overall. My 2 cents.

I believe this has been said before as a good idea, until the part of the admins needing to approve it. It would though make bases an RP tool and not just a base spawned from scratch with no known owners like I've seen recently.

But now throwing out an idea again that I had a while back was making an outpost style base that's stuck at roughly core2 strength so it can still be killed by a small fleet. Don't give it the ability to build anything other than its shield, storage pods, and the lighter platforms(maybe even cut that down to just 1, either the array1 cruiser buster or array3 with anti fighter guns). That way the people who just want to make a small trade post can still, but would need to defend them better since they're weaker.
