POB Change Suggestions

Suggestion
Type: Rules - POB Plugin
Title: Reinforcement mode periods

Specifics

• PoB base HP will be splitted in 3: 0-33%, 33-66% and 66-100%.
  
• When the attacker siege the PoB and drains until 66%, a Reinforcement time activates and the PoB will be invulnerable for X hours/days
  
• PoBs in Reinforcement mode can't be damaged, don't use materials to mainatin and can't be repaired
  
• Once the reinforcement state time ends, the PoB can be repaired, damaged or use materials.
  
• The cycle continues to the 33-66% area (when the attacker damages it to 33% it goes to reinforcement mode) and at 0%, it explodes
  
• In the reinforcement times you can dock at the PoB and fill it but all the services (and shield) are off except the economy management (You can't build modules or items from modules and the WPs are disabled)
  

Potential Problems

• After the reinfocement mode, for example, defenders could up the HP to 67% to considerate it still at the first HP section and once damaged to 66%, returned to reinforcement mode. This could be resolved introducing a cooldown where the Reinforcement mode can't be activated near the limits where that mode has been already activated (after some time, if the PoB has been repaired over 66% and it returns to 66%, Reinforcement mode can be activated)
  

Example of Effect
At the first stage, attackers can ambush the defenders and damage the base to 66% but with the reinforcement mode, the base will be invulnerable gaining time to defenders to prepare a defense fleet at the next attack when the reinforcement mode ends to repel the attackers and (exploiting the PvP timer or the PoB attack penality of other suggestions of this thread) repair the PoB just exited from the Reinforcement mode.

Further Discussion
The defenders, with this introduction has a more planned time to coordinate to defend a PoB that can be destroyed exploiting RL issues like sleeping and it makes the AFK fleets useless. It can transform a PoB siege in an official combat event, more enjoyable. Nerfing the PoB hull and shield mostly improve this feature
