POB Siege Balance

[Darkseid667]

So, we've all heard different opinions about whether or not sieges and POB construction require a comparable level of effort, and if the current mechanics is justifiable.

I offer a new approach that would make it a more level playground, introducing a feasible counterplay and consequences for the sieging party.
My proposition is ammo-based siege equipment, with ammo being produced/available only at POBs

I second that.

With pobs still having platforms your proposition is awfully one sided. Now you can proceed with making 10 more pob whining threads instead of actually defending them.

Why? The attackers can build WPs around their siege factory as well

You enforce pob esque building gameplay on people who dont enjoy pobs. POBs are economy option working through ass plugin in space shooter game with rp elements.

You are always welcome to grind away at POBs for hours and hours and hours with conventional capship weapons.

Just delete pobs and make NPC stations sell 'cloaks, drives, etc.', basically ***** that pobs produce at a fixed cost.

90 percent of ore pobs are useless anyway.

EDIT: Ore on certain bases at a fixed price as well, about 2.5K to 3.5K or 4K depending on ore

Something like that was suggested before, but the devs don't want to do this because it reduces RP-interaction and is a time-consuming process to simply add ores as regular commodities into the NPC bases.
