Suggestion Weapon platforms rework
Type: Rules / POB Plugin
Title: Turnable on/off weapon platforms

Specifics

• 1) Making weapon platforms being disabled/enabled by owner base command
  
• 1) Creating rule: #?.? Weapon platforms are allowed to be turned on only during an active attack declaration to base.
  
• 2) Better Alternative, weapon platforms become activated only if base registered damage made at least equal to 5 Heavy Mortar shots in the last half of an hour.
  
  
• Making Super big HP/Shield to weapon platforms, stopping abusing the bug to disable them.
  
• Buffing weapon platforms attack as they would perform only base defense role, stopping to be area denial and harming gameplay.
  

Potential Problems

• People could declare attack siege just to make area denial in the first choice, but I think it would be quite easily spotted if some base would be sieged more than several times in a row. The second choice has no such problem if weapon platforms are activated by sufficient damage to the base.
  
• Some people believe area denial is good. Not sure why
  
• in self activated choice, people could damage base on purpose almost triggering defense, it could be fixed by limit randomly changed from 2 to 7 hm shots.
  

Example of Effect
1) No weapon platforms around any base. But if someone declared an attack, owner log and inserts command to turn them on, possibly with timer how many days they are needed until siege ends. Which makes their normal work or even buffed one to do a better job.

2) Alternative, for self-activated weapon platforms, battleship fires to base damage more than 5 Heavy Mortars in less than half of hour, weapon platforms become being activated until last half of hour the damage was still made of the same 5 Heavy Mortars damage. Weapon platforms target all around as usual(today) while they are turned on.

Further Discussion
What can I say. That would turn their work to be base defense only, stopping to harm gameplay by having area denial. And potentially making their job to defend better as they could be buffed in health and attack.

Actually both ideas can be implemented at the same time.
1) mod: ON always (allowed for sieges only)
2) mod: Activated by sufficient damage (the standard mod for forgetful people)
3) mod: off
