PoB Siege Mechanics

[Omicron]

PoBs are from the start, a feature not suited to nature of Freelancer gameplay and nature of the game itself. Digital Anvil from the start made the singleplayer and multiplayer as more of semi-exploration shooting game with rich roleplaying background where you have nothing to loose from being shot down. You are investing time and money (which in majority of cases is never going to be refunded in money/assets that could be earned from factories) that could be deleted at almost momenth's notice. PoB's unlike your guns and ships will not respawn, your investment will be lost and you are at net loss rather than mild inconvenience from loosing your regens.

The PoB plugin in its past and current design fits Elite Dangerous and Eve Online where you are penalized for dying and are at threat of loosing the ship entirely. Freelancer? Not so much.
