Hello i logged on to find player bases are not available right now, and after reading a bit i see somethings cause em to be turned off untill further notice, which is sad, because when POBS are used in a responsible way, Can generate lots of fun and RP, i have experienced both the "Dark" side and the "Light" side of POBs
so i can understand everyones different oppinions, but why let the "few" spoil it for the Many" or what ever the case may be this time around,
some good points about player bases [From my veiwpoint]
Trade Centers/Ore Storages, these are some of the best uses for player bases these can encourage traders and miners to meet up, RP, Trade and have fun
Waystations: those good old player bases out in the wilderness, that can provide quite a few player interactions along with a place to repair thier ships
Factories: those hard to get parts? just order them INRP with factory owner, also allows for INRP supply runs , escort duty for suppliers and even piracy against said suppliers, this part also apllies to reade ports
Fortresses [when used responsibly]
Good place for RP before Combat, attack, defence ect between hostile factions
example Bretonia<->Gallia war
ive had some good fun centered around player bases, sad to see em offline
these are some of the stuff im gonna find it strange being without,
admins decision i guess, so its just a matter of wait and see
my two cents on this matter
