Developer Notice: Player Owned Bases Update

[Lythrilux]

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'?

Based on what you're saying, you're implying that factions such as Zoners (in the next update(?)), Junkers, Xenos, GC, Hogosha... ...are stuffed and have to put up with whatever construct is placed in front of them? I'm sorry, but that doesn't sound fair at all.

We know that people don't build bases responsibly. All it takes is for one person to make a base in some idiotic location that brings about hazardous consequences and factions such as the aforementioned can do hardly anything to take them down.
