There are 85 POBs on the server.

make PoBs SRP, -70 bases right away lol...

I bet 70 bases are completely for personal use or trolling lol. Make them SRP, delete the ones that dont submit a request and maybe doing a 1v1 in a system will be possible

Lets take as an example the base I have - its function has been roleplayed out - due to the upgrade to 4.87 the original rp reason it existed vanished so I roleplayed (or attempted to) a way around it. I had 2 reasons:

1) I was puzzled as to why there was some stuff in a few systems that wasn't much involved with anything. The ancient minefield in Newcastle that got wiped in 4.87 is an example.
2) I decided to make a POB there so as to be able to sell various goods relating to study of said objects. Using the example of the minefield above Docking modules could be used in the process of studying mines - large ships wouldn't get too close so a smaller ship or probe could be launched to investigate more closely and maintain safety.

That is an example of why a trolling base may not always be a trolling base. For the second point regarding personal use. I currently have 2 docking modules equipped on one chara and 2 other bits of equipment from POB's - I have sold at least 5x that number of POB goods so the implication is that a lot of the personal use may also not be completely accurate.

To summarise POB's can very easily be in a grey area in terms of their worth, they are not always good or bad.
