Player Owned Bases

[Busy Miner]

dont build your base where it cant be easily defended/where it can be easily attacked

Unfortunately you can't build bases around NPC structures anymore, that is at least what most house laws state. 10-15k is the usual distance, so basically you are always on your own.

Building a PoB has always come with the risk of people being able to destroy them for whatever reason they consider sufficient.
If you don't like that, don't build a PoB. Or build it in a safer location. There is a reason for stations such as Siloso being sieged, while other stations like the one infront of Manhatten literally being untouched for eons. One might say that it is because it does not bother anyone (which is false), but in reality it is just the fact that a properly placed PoB is pretty much impossible to destroy unless you can field absurd amounts of players.

But normally you can't just place a POB beside some NPC structure anymore, 10-15k is usually minimum according to most house-laws. So you are usually on your own.

see above statement.

....people who spend 150 hours building a Pob, I want to tell you "why are you in Discovery" ?

Because this is an RP server, and trading and constructing is part of the RP. I could tell all those trigger happy pilots out there that are only here for shooting at stuff: "why are you in Discovery"?

PS: Shooting at a sitting duck aka POB doesn't require any battleship-skills.
