Remove weapon platforms from POB

[Binski]

I really don't see a better solution than removing them entirely at this time

Yeah, PoBs really need to go, since they seem to have more problems than solutions and no one wants to touch that code with a fucking fifty meter pole.

Honestly, just do yourself and the rest of us a favor, refund the value of the PoB to the best of your abilities to the owner(s) and start selling the PoB equipment on a Connecticut base. Just keep the roleplay (admin spawned custom) PoBs around that're being occupied by various factions until they can be replaced by a permanent station instead of this nonsense no one has been able to fix for literal years.

Stop pretending PoBs are anything but a waste of time, energy, and the servers processing power.

POB's are one of the only things drawing people to the server. The potential to build your own space base here is also the driving factor around most consumption and trading. You want the server to just hurry up and die or something? There's still at least a hundred POB's on the base list.

POB's could use some touching up perhaps but they are really fun. What we lack is the demand of their services, and a reason to consume again.

We also should suggest areas to new prospective base owners on the best places to build if they want to avoid inrp problems. Bering opened up things for some indi bases, borderworld systems like magellan would be a good place for that, the system could use a commodity or something to draw some attention out there.

We should not be removing the more interactive parts of the game. And heaven forbid we let people, and even ENCOURAGE people to use bases for military purposes. Let navy factions build and maintain POB's for holding territory, making an advance into a system, attempting to lock down jumpholes or jumpgates. When it happens in areas where factions with big ships have ZOI, at least the scenario, and competition creates activity. Just leave the butthurt attitudes at home and take it out in game. Go grind.
