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.

Can you imagine the RP value of this? Enclave force Goldgeist to surrender thus capturing a commercial base, and then turning the production into building an ammo factory. Exactly why destroying a PoB is wrong. The annex it thus claiming a foothold on Dublin space.

BAF try to regain the territory and you have... wait for it.... RP! PvP RP at that!

As ammo needs to be factory built, and ammo is slow to produce, then Enclave gets merchants to deliver essential war supplies to the captured PoB. Raiding parties harassing their supply lines. TONNES of RP. Ongoing, fun, thrilling even.

And guess what? The PoB is NOT DESTROYED!

Ships respawn, PoB's don't.

Some nice ideas here. This way you even could win back a POB or pummel the attackers ammo supply by besieging your own former base and sacrifice it so other POBs in the sector won't be attacked so quickly. Because the attackers have to haul ammo from New Paris instead of Dublin.
