PoB Siege Mechanics

Possible? Yes. Load? Uncertain.

The thing with POBs is that they are both a Success and a Failure. If you look at certain POBs they have done very well and have added things, Nichols Trade Centre, The Golden Coin so on. They can and do add certain elements. As someone said earlier, some people like to log on and just be worker bees and supply the base, its quite rewarding especially when the base gets upgraded etc. There is alot of potential with the bases especially for groups of people not necessarily official factions, look at games like Rust, you can have a group of people where some go out raiding others gather and build, its very true here, POBs offer this activity and mentality.

I do have 2 suggestions as to how to add to things in regards to the Sieges.

The First is link POBs with NEMPs:
I dont know if its possible with POBs but when a static is NEMPed it triggers an event, so what if in order to siege a POB you need to NEMP it first, to make it vulnerable, and then starts an event, the owners need to resupply it, the attackers need to try and blow it up before its resupplied.
You could easily make it so that you can only NEMP a POB x amount of days after an attack even if you have more NEMPs. This way rather then police POBs you police NEMP acquisitions and NEMP Events. Make it so theres RP to back it up and so on.

My Second is to make defensive modules not take up slots:
At the moment weapons platforms and shield generators take up module space (as far as i know) maybe make it so that Shield Generators don't take up a module and maybe give bases an allowance of Free Weapons platforms before you have to take up module space. So the station itself has its turrets and then maybe 2 weapons platforms and if possible tweek the platforms to add a bit of risk to attacking a station with no defenders.
