Nah i dont think that weakening the bases defences is good thing. Neither rising supply demands. I think that real question are those 74 bases all RP ing in some manner with community. I can recount maybe at most 10 bases who have some meaningfull active RP and interaction. Eventually 10 more as some kind of RP meaning but passive in nature.
And most are purposless. I will make one example. Junker Saltese base in humboldt in 4.86 was one of the most frequented base and best POB project of 4.86 . But recently we discovered junker base in Leeds 50k from a plane or such. It is core 4 . I have never heard for that base , never saw any post that that base offer something to others...
Concept of (hidden) bases for anti-interaction is maybe cool , but useless for community. And it is bad that those players need to supply them for no rp purpose and by time become hostages of their own bad RP as they move and move forward in wrong direction building more and more that kind of bases, wasting their time which thez could invest in some better RP ideas.
Purge bases who are community redundant. Purge troll bases near jh.
