Overhaul Sieging Rules.

[Lythrilux]

That wasn't a requirement until relatively recently. Things worked just fine in the core1 department before.

It's arguably infinitely better now. Nothing was worse than leaving a Core 1 POB for several hours and coming back to it being shot at by several Capital ships. Or worse. Or if not that, just having to be completely alert 24/7 before it got to Core 2. The Core 1 period for POBs was incredibly stressful before.

Then maybe you should do some RP with nearby factions to protect or at the very least, not attack the bases, while also keeping them hidden. It encourages smart placement, while also requiring anyone who actually will put the RP effort into a base to do so properly.

What does the RP of the base owner matter if the sieger can use barely any, or no RP by your proposal, to blow it up? Your viewpoint here is extremely one-sided. As I said earlier, POB owners have to make a request for Core 2 and do the same but with substantial RP as well for Core 3, 4 and Core 5 but as an SRP as well. All siegers need to do is write several lines of bad RP to attack a POB, and wait an inconsequential period of time, compared to that of the time spent constructing the POB, before they can attack it. How is this fair?

As I said: that rule was in effect literally for years. There is justifiable 0 reason it should have gone away.

And it went away because it was still problematic. The only 'justifiable' reason to bring it back is so that we can have more ABH-like situations where players can grief others without the affected player being aware - if that's what you want.
