Finally a Solution for Base Attack Problem

[St.Denis]

No, back around 2014-2016 for core upgrades you actually had to apply to the GMs and prove that there was RP around the supply of the base as well as explain how the base has fulfilled it's purpose and the owner's future plans for the base. It was a measure, i believe, to make sure that bases actually contributed to RP and the server. Here's the old thread to have a look at.

Dont know if that's still done these days. If it isnt, bringing it back might help with the filtering of POBs so that they do provide a benefit (and a proper cash sink) rather than just existing, getting quickly upgraded and, depending on location, becoming a nuisance.

It is still a requirement:

Core One
- Players are not required to role play prior to building a Core 1 base, but any building or any attack must make inRP sense.
- Players are required to post a notice in the Attack Declaration thread, 8 hours prior to attacking a Core 1 base.
- Location and IFF of bases are permanent, the name can be changed once every 6 months. Requests to do so can be submitted here.

Core Two
- Players are required to post the name, IFF, system and purpose of their base in this subforum prior to becoming Core 2. These posts remain invisible and are only accessible by the server staff.
- Upon posting their existence, base owners will receive, from the Game Masters, a set of 'blueprints' which is required for their upgrade. Blueprints are non transferable and will be absorbed in the upgrade of the base.
- Before a player/faction attacks a Core 2 base (or higher), they must role play either in game or on the forums and provide the link to this RP in the Attack Declaration thread.
- Any attack declaration for a base Core 2 or above must be 24 hours in advance of the attack starting.
. - Bases located within 15k of mining fields will not be permitted to advance beyond Core 2.
.
Core Three
- If player/faction wish to upgrade to Core 3, they must file for a request in this subforum. In the request, they must provide more detailed role play and have demonstrated responsible behavior for at least one month as a Core 2.
- Once approved, base owner will receive, from the Game Masters, another set of 'blueprints' to upgrade their base. Again, these blueprints are non transferable and any abuse will result in loss of base.
.
Core Four
- Players/Factions that have proven responsible and productive role playing members of the community for at least two months as Core 3, may request to have their bases upgraded to Core 4. If player/faction wish to upgrade to Core 4, they must file for a request in this subforum.
- Once approved, base owner will receive, from the Game Masters, another set of 'blueprints' to upgrade their base. Again, these blueprints are non transferable and any abuse will result in loss of base.

Core Five
- Official factions that have proven responsible and productive role playing members of the community for at least three months as Core 4, may request to have their bases upgraded to Core 5. If factions wish to upgrade to Core 5, they must file for a request in this subforum.
- Once approved, base owner will receive, from the Game Masters, another set of 'blueprints' to upgrade their base. Again, these blueprints are non transferable and any abuse will result in loss of base.
- With the upgrade to Core 5, wear & tear damage on the base will be disabled, and owners can further request the removal of FOW consumptions through a special roleplay request.
- Only one Core 5 base per official faction is permitted.
