Blackmarket PoB's

[Croft]

If the base meant so much to the smugglers they would join forces to defend the base.Your saying it will increase activity,so then there wont be a problem to defend it...

It wont matter if they don't belong to a faction.inRP some houses might find them to be a thorn etc and would seek to stop its operation.Thus improves RP and gameplay between the players then just simple smuggling.

The amount of smugglers on the server now you could probably count on one hand, this idea was meant to increase that number so that House lawfuls, the police specifically, have something to chase. Blowing up a base, which I have done a few times both on Disco and on EVE are boring affairs with about as much RP as a two line engagement.
These bases are design to generate activity, think of them like the junker bases but with a twist.

While with the second PoB there is no problem, the first one and the third one are quite problematic.

For starters, the first one is way too close to Samura's mining field. Pirates basing from there would simply make mining in that field without a cover of a battleship impossible.
Also, there's the fact that it's inside a highly patrolled cloud, patrols done by Samura because, well, they mine it.

The third one is problematic because of the location. It sits right on the way to Magellan, a way GRN are aware of. How can it be justified inRP that the GRN couldn't, or wouldn't, destroy it? I mean, if the BAF couldn't hold up Leeds against them, how could a loose smuggler union do it?


Do mind that I fancy the idea, for a matter of fact. I just think it need to be reworked regarding the specifics.

The positions of the bases is something I really couldn't decide on so I did the lazy thing and slapped the crosses on fields just to give a general idea of where they might be placed. I'm open to suggestions on their position but I must insist they stay in the systems described.
