And what of those Factions that don't have/require Capital Ships? Not everybody is interested in running around, all day, in one of these. It is rather small minded to believe that people only play this game so they can have big toys.
As for POBs I disagree that 90% (and I know Croft that you didn't say this) of them block/command strategic positions. I know quite a few that either don't have Weapon Platforms or those that do are generally away from important areas. Granted that there are some that command strategic areas but so do NPC Bases/Battleships/Weapon Platforms.
You learn to live with it by adapting.
