POB Change Suggestions

Suggestion
Type: Other
Title: Set Repair Ships as able to repair POB's in the same way they can repair shps.

Specifics

• Set it so Repair Ship tools add 5000 HP per second to any POB (or at least that the repair turret work on them, and not be based on rep, so any ship could be used on any base, rep/ID used would have inrp consequences). That equals to 18 million HP per hour (if uninterrupted). That way any repair ship with a repair tool could fly up to any POB and shoot it to repair. Exemption from triggering the base attack notice would be needed.
  

Potential Problems

• Not sure on the technical limits.
  

Example of Effect
This would add an extra advantage to alll bases, as players would have another quick avenue for keeping bases alive longer. Players could switch to repair ships in groups and attempt to compound their repair effect (3 ships would mean a repair rate of 15000 HP/s). The main desired effect would be to prolong sieges (base life) giving them better chances (especially in lieu of short respawn times).

Further Discussion
Why this change? I picture base sieges becoming less one sided, and more about maintaining a balance like a tug of war. Active attacks on well defended/manned bases would boil down to HP down vs HP up, and turn into battles where an attacking fleet lays siege from one side and repairers try to stay safe near the base and 'make repairs'. The rest depends on the players abilities.

So then it also becomes a battle to fend off repairers, and on the defense side, cover repair ships while they try to bring the strength up. All in all every base benefits from the additional option, which any player can use to chip in, without needing to be a major pvp'er.

My suggestions for the numbers are just a starting spot, the lower the rate, the more ships needed to keep up a high rate of repairs.
