Remove POB regulation double standards from rules

[Epo]

Make player bases owned bases indestructible

I'm against. And yet I'm saying it as POB owner. I'd say just not to block system entrance / mining fields and POBs are fine as they are. They were never meant to work as solo-project and that means you need people to mantain it properly. What's more it creates opportunities for RP, both for base's owners and possible aggressors. The most difficult thing to do about POBs is building them from scraps, as it needs some people to haul all the stuff, which is necessary for construction. But once again, it also gives some opportunities for RP (delivery contracts etc.). Mantaining one (I'm speaking about core2 currently) is like 5 hours a week of solo-flying +30m, when you only need to travel to the system, which is 1 jump away from your base's location. Building POBs in house capital systems is even easier as everything is sold at capital planet or it's close proximity. Bretonnia is currently a POB heaven as most of the things you will ever need to bring are in dublin, newcaste or new london, so if you build a base in NL it really takes no time to keep it alive. Maybe some bases built a bit further from supply depots may be a bit more annoying, but still it's your decision to build them that far. POBs are your own piece of discovery and, as they tend to be cancerous sometimes, they're rather generating more profit that costs, it's up to you what policy will you take to keep them alive as long as possible.

So yeah, POBs are fine as they are, provided that your faction or group has at least 3 active players to fly. POBs (and factions) were never meant to be solo projects.

Also applying POB hook stuff to NPC bases would more or less mean a POB withno wear&tear and being immortal. I'd say nope.
I'd be for adding buildable armors tho, that would be interesting to see.

If you can't afford to build one and keep it alive, don't even try to. It will just be an unnecessary source of nerves and getting pissed.
