Personally, I agree with @Malmsteen completely. This is my experience with core 1 bases.
I built my first base over a period of a week, keeping in mind I was with only 1 friend, stocking it up to the brim with the requirements of upgrading to Core 2. I did put in a request as per the rules and links in the forum for the upgrade, and what do you know, 2 days later the base was attacked and killed by a group of Outcast Bs's and Nomad Bs's, WHILE I was of line. Not everybody can be online permanently to play cop or keep an eye out.
Now, this is what went through my mind when I logged in and found the base destroyed: " Why, after a week did they blew the base all of a sudden? It was well hidden. So why after I applied for the upgrade did someone only noticed the base? Was that info given to someone?? I will never know, cause I still, after a how many months, did not get any feedback from the admins"
That was the first base.
Then I build a second one, keeping in mind to leave it at core 1 for as long as possible, with in 10 k's from another well known POB, and what do you know, not 3 days did it last!!
So, I build a THIRD one, found a sweet spot, very far from anything and or any traffic, and it was going good, hell, I had hope for this base. I think 2 months it was going, and guess what, the bloody system got deleted with one of the patches.
Now, I know I can or could have applied for the base to be re integrated in the game, but after a few weeks of search, i couldn't find a place. So i left it there.
Me being someone that need to keep busy in the game, i decided it would be easier to build another base rather that trying to get the old one back, for you see, the forums is, for me, very confusing. So i build a new one, well, it did go well for about 5 days before it was discovered.
And funny enough, only when i'm offline.
I left Disco for about 2 months, not that anyone would have noticed, to try out some other games, But i must say, Disco gives me some sort of satisfaction that i don't get from other games.
I can only vote that Admin will re-think their stance towards Core 1 bases.
And that's one of my stories.
Thank you for reading, the frustration level has gone down.
