Who'd believe it?
...and even people who know all that things usually may not have 10 players who are online 24 hrs a day to protect one base. most people don't know exactly when an attack will take place and some people have to sleep sometimes.
You don't need to have 10 people nessecariliy, you can also use the weapons platforms against them
You don't need defenders on 24/7. I am sure that with these new times, you can easiliy get some people on to defend the base. Make an inRP comm or something hiring people to defend it.
SOME people have to sleep, not all. I'm sure that not 100% of Discos population shares the same bedtime.
You didn't know when the attack was coming before, it's spontaneous. If anything though, you at least have the grace of forum RP to alert you that people will be interested in kreiging your base.
To be honest, I just see a lot of Core 4 owners crying over spilt milk. Sure, it may have made a notable difference in base supplying, however bare-bones mechanics are in place so that a base can STILL be defended. Just because your xXMLG420ReinforcedAllyXx power-fortresses are no longer indestructible does not warrant that bases are a useless feature in the mod (even though I still believe it'd be better to ditch the PoB plugin, but oh well...).
