POB Change Suggestions

[LuckyOne]

Critique
Suggestion Addressed: even up the Losses

Problem Summary

• I don't think it would be fair to perma-death attackers if you don't do the same for the defenders.
  
• Too easy to abuse by the defenders
  

Amendment

• Instead of a permanent death a respawn in damaged state might be a better idea. Make it the same for the defenders. The defenders would have the advantage of retreating to the POB and docking to avoid death (and the subsequent repair bill). Attackers would need to retreat or jump out which is much harder to do without friendly bases nearby
  

Further Discussion

Battleships are expensive (also time-wise to set up and purchase equipment, often with Sci-data), and it would be very easy to lose several dozens during a siege. I don't think it can really be made balanced with the base cost.

Critique
Suggestion Addressed: "Make POBs great again" but easier.

Problem Summary

• This would basically mean you only have one type of POB, we would lose the current variety
  
• I think variety in POB setups is cool and good, just like variety in ship loadouts. You can chose between heavily defended fortress, a lightly defended manufacturing center, or a simple storage container without any defense.
  

Amendment

• Adding more slots for higher cores or making cargo module add more space like @Busy Miner suggested might be a better idea. Make Core 3 and up feel like a meaningful upgrade.
