Developer Notice: Player Owned Bases Update

[.Gypsy.]

It's not a fixation to destroy bases, Its just a request to have the same ability that most other factions have. If for example a junker base is destroyed by an enemy that also have bases, how would junkers be able to retaliate with no battleships? That I believe is the issue.

Precisely, that's the exact point I'm making. Otherwise, are some factions just stuffed?

InRP I would assume that only the Houses and some other Factions would have the capability to 'destroy' Bases. I am sure that if we allowed Gunboats the ability to 'destroy' Bases then somebody would say 'I don't fly GBs so why can't I destroy them with Fighters instead'?

Sorry man, but thats rather a bad example, its not about whether you can destroy a base with the ship you want, but a matter of can your faction destroy one at all.. so the "but I don't fly GB's" argument doesn't really apply.
