Remember Long Island Station has been labelled the Manhattan activity killing POB several times since its creation. My suggestion is merely to apply this to every POB so we don't ever have someone be able to complain about activity killing / blocking POBs. Perhaps it'd be possible to allow POBs within 15k of NPC bases if they are disallowed from creating any weapon platform or something like that as suggested, but really we should be looking at the entire thing and not just one base.
If they are complaining about Long Island at Manhattan lets take a look at what kind of "activity" it would be "killing", and what the alternative would be.
Right now Long Island stops unlawfuls from owning Manhattan space and eliminating any lawful they want there. It keeps OORP things from happening and people from removing other players. That's the sort of "activity" I can gladly go without. If unlawful just want to "talk" out of weapons range (no matter how stupid that would be), Long Island isn't stopping them. The same would be true for theoretical bases, like a weapons platforms base near Freeport 11. It would keep nomads from killing people off there, and be an effective tool for enforcing a NFZ by putting aggressors on the hostile list.
Now lets imagine Long Island was 15 k away from Manhattan. Now its actually a point where lawfuls can seek shelter from pirates and unlawfuls far away from another base, effectively making a far larger area of turf unusable for pirates. Imagine its hallway down one of the lanes leading to Manhattan. How is that any better?
I know people have whined about Manhattan being safe (as it should be IRP). But it's the kind of people who send 3 fighters, one GB, and one cruiser to eliminate a single lawful fighter, because that fighter stopped them from getting a blue the day before. Do we REALLY want that?
