Move PoBs from the Mining Fields

[Binski]

Two words...'Oyster Creek'
......

You are completely misinformed. Oyster Creek was never in the middle of the Premium Scrap field. When the base's location was leaked a certain skype chat apparently caught fire with rage and was intent on blowing it up, the the admins moved it to prevent the base being blown up off the back of metagaming.

Well I saw it at its original location which was approximately 15k below the middle of the pscrap area of the grand negre. I learned after it was moved, a mistake on the forum allowed their post requesting core 2 upgrade plans to be visible to everyone, instead of being invised, which warranted its special treatment. To me a base that close to the center of that field would have all but cut off that pscrap field due to the reach of weapons platforms and being an easy launch location for xenos ID'd ships. I'm fairly certain its original purpose would have been to give Xenos a defended stronghold just seconds away from the mining area, one that would have only been found after it was core 2, requiring RP to attack, and being able to have defenses deployed. This would be like an outcast base being set up 15k below the ore field in Tau-23. Even though its farther away now, i still couldn't see the IMG ignoring a hostile POB even 20k from their ore fields for very long, despite a forum error. Things like this seem stranger to me than POB's defending guard systems, that's all I'm sayin.
