Do you want to see POB Weapon Platforms removed?

[Binski]

I suggested a long time ago a simple solution.

Make each WP require 100 units of Munitions (or one/all of the various arms commodities) to respawn.

So that means for 2 WP's, each time you destroy them, it eats 200 units upon replacement.

So if I have a base with 2 Wp's, 2000 units of munitions would be 20 spawns, or 10 respawns of each one.

At least once you wear down a base's supplies of ammo, the WP's would not respawn, regardless of the modules being there, until more ammo is dumped on. At least it would be possible go eliminate the WP's first, and the first race would be to keep arms running to POB's under siege, as well as shield fuel and regular suppies.

For most bases, 2-4000 units of space devoted to ammo for your WP's should keep it covered well from average threats. Bases with more risk to siege would need to accomodate for more space for defenses.

Personally I think this would be good for big 3 corporations. Agiera/DSE/US could actually have ammo to ship to customers, and more contraband cheap ammo will be being smuggled for those who seek a less official alternative.

And I won't start another thread but REPAIR SHIPS would also be able to be used by the big three for real reasons if they could repair bases. I wanted them able to repair NPC bases designated for siege, but the option to use them to help POB's under siege as an additional repair option would also be a good addition to base mechanics. (in regards to that previous base thread)
