It's clear you've put a fair amount of thought into the idea, and this itself is worth the credit. I do like the idea though, I've had bases and rapidly lost interest in them one way or another. I think if the bases actually produced something so they'd sustain themselves id have more reason to keep it alive - at a cost none the less but of considerably less materials from what i've read. But i sense that those who despise POBs would probably want them much easier to destroy than they are now or some counter to this since that's the way of the community. To me a base is a base, they should be very difficult to destroy due to the amount of work that is put into them. But that's another matter altogether. I like the idea of the aesthetic appeal the most, since they are generic looking bases let's be fair. I sincerely hope the Devs when they get a moment look into this, it might open up more purpose for these things. Good idea overall
