Dear devs and admins:

[sindroms]

I as well as my friends have been discussing this topic for some time now and I wanted to let the community voice their opinion on this:

POBs, while a great addition to the Discovery mod, have made the server unstable. Tenths of people are wasting hours of ingame time assaulting solars with little to no RP to spite the players, who have constructed them. The lag caused by such assaults on a daily level prevents any chance for players to engage in a territorial battle like the ones between LN and RM or OC and Corsairs just to name a couple.



The problem here is that PoBs cannot be made invoulnerable because the attackers would whine and they cannot be made easier to kill, otherwise the owners will whine.




So the only fair solution would be to remove them altogeather along with any and all items constructed on them.



That is a radical solution, but frankly I myself do not remember the last time when the server was stable enough during peak times, suddenly spazzing out because of a battle in Omega 3, for example.

I have been in skype calls with the owners of a few bases, which get attacked on a regular bases. If the will be destroyed, they plan to rebuild them, so there is no reason to think such problems will solve themselves.




I am not against PoBs, I am not against the items you create or the group effort needed in order to do so, but perhaps, just perhaps, this addition to the mod was not needed. The software is unstable enough as it is without this.
