Overhaul Sieging Rules.

[Binski]

Sorry I'm late to this party as usual but I would like to point out that in my own experience, the main problem stems from being able to return to a base siege within 2 hours of being eliminated. That's what can make the odds for the bases drop significantly. The base doesn't get a respawn in 2 hours. Groups assemble, and even if warded off or destroyed by defenders (or base defenses), they only have to wait a short time before they can just reappear and bring that same amount of resources back against the base, when the base owners have to worry about keeping stocked with necessities constantly from the same ships over and over and over ever so many hours. With base sieges, once you're gone, you should be gone for a while.

I would like to see it so that for capital ship class vessels, there be special respawn rules along the lines that a ship destroyed while participating in a base siege must remain PVP dead to THAT BASE for 5 days. I think at least a few days of a buffer should be there. That way base sieges would be 1 time battles per go, and attacking forces would have to use their first go well. If they are destroyed or warded off, no real significant attempt could be made for days, unless comprised of fresh ships. No name changes either! That way if the siege goes on, you aren't facing the same ships every couple of hours who basically laugh at 'death' while the base owners must work a lot harder to keep up.

I voted no to this specific set of rules since I still think it should be more open and not really cost money up front to siege a base. With a change in base PVP death times instead, it changes the value of base defense/offense. You'd just have to break momentum of an attacking force to get a more realistic reprieve when under long term siege.
