The issue is, that Indies are quite rare to pull out enough 'high quality' content to aim for such a upgrade. I have a feeling it 'is' possible. Indies have plenty of power, they merely need to prove they are responsible enough.
my point exactly, but it has been denied right from the start and only given to official faction, so the early announcements is a problem, among other things.
also, if so many people are against this move, just as so many people were in favor of this move a few weeks ago, does that mean the admins will count here as well? Or will they let it run for a testing period, where eventully no one is going to be re-funded due to a possible loss of their base. It has been proven twice.
My experience has been that it's better to withhold/limit things and the gradually upgrade/increase them. The problem we are having is that we give players OP things and then have to either take them away or nerf them. For example, the battleship scanner, OP ship loadouts and now, POB's. This results in a group of disgruntled players who focus more on their loss, and less on what is good for the server overall. Balance is a tricky thing.
For far too long, official factions have been without any substantial perks, yet they are required to meet specific standards of role play and activity to remain official. These are requirements that individual players/unofficial factions do not have, at least not to the degree that officials do. Therefore, it's only fair that they receive some sort of reward for their contributions to the server.
We chose to not take away what indies already have and added a perk to officials. Individual players and indies are out nothing.
You left the indies who have bases to die. And that should count as well, nowhere have i said that officials dont serve such things, but u carefully forgot to mention the indies in this situation. Again, are you admins going to consider the fact that 90% of the feedback here is against this shield nerf? or do they need to spam a pob thread every two hours to make that point, as happend in reverse.
