Overhaul Sieging Rules.

[Erik-Kieber]

Likely wont have much todo with this tho... feel like my 2cents might help none the less.

As for sieges in the current form it realy does need changing imo, people invest a lot of time and effort into creating one and maintaining one. Look at that {Abh} for example, it was a big project and it was clearly not even done yet. It was also 54k up the plane and a great asset to the game world. Unless someone blew the wistle on her project it should not even be found. None the less, some new forum acount was made and on the very moment it was allowed to post it sended out 4 pob attack declarations. That alone should not be posible already.

The the mechanics... For a core 2... How can a owner stay in and ongame for a whole whoping 2 weeks while the attacker only have to wait a short time once such an declaration is send... It is unrealistic and very unfair to the owner. Add to that the fact that a core 2 is gone in no time by a small group of caps and it becomes realy problematic, the attacker only has to wait for an owner to get to bed and its all over for the owner. Add to that the fact it is only a small group that dedicates on pob sieges and you can see how oorp this whole thing gets. People simply make a temporary cap of the oposing faction id of the pob it self and they r set to kill it off and in no time. Give the attacker something to chew on as in core 1 should be able to stand at least half a day being pummeld by caps not the 5 mins it took for those 2 pob in kepler.

What i would like to see is valid reasons in the attack declarations, not just the i dont like you and so you have problems. True valid reason as to why an pob on that location is a problem is something that needs to be added and seen in such declarations imo. Also a onwer should be able to defend in the declaration, with ample of reason as to why a pob should stay there and thus should not be killed off. Then have a green look into it. Take in regard the location and function of a pob and how much rp it produces both on forum as ingame. Only when a green sees a true problem with an pob location or funtion on that spot the declaration is allowed for example.

I am honest when i say that killing off pob like this and so fast only drives people away and we all know that we need every member these days, it is more hurtfull at this point to allow such things then that it does any good.

I hope this post make a bit of sense and will result into better mechanics of the enitre siege posability's. Friendly regards from,
