c) Add a defense mode that lets you white list or blacklist IDs/IFFs instead of names/tags. I think you already did this but its not yet implemented?

Yes, it is already coded and awaits code review finishing, hopefully going to be relatively soon.

b) Divide the crew (and fwo) requirements by 10 (or 5 or at least 2). This will allow players to have more disco time having fun instead of shipping stuff while trying to avoid interactions. This will make the implementation of 1b easier too. Also, the current models dont looks like they can even fit the current crew requirement

Dev request should be addressed to balance/economy devs

a) Let players de-activate weapon platforms without destroying them. One way could be for the wps to not shoot if they are placed too close to or inside the pob model (simply placing them inside still lets them shoot in some angles because pob walls only seem to block from the outside and not the inside)

Two fixes were already planned for it doing a similar thing but in a completely different way
First one: Almost code reviewed and merged, hopefully coming soon
Second one: Wishing to be coded

Not sure if this is the intended place for suggestions for pob related features/commands too, but here goes anyway:
a) When deploying a pob, add an option to deploy it in an exact position (the xyz and rotation coordinates that will be written in the server side pob ascii file). This will let people test exact positions (for example neatly attached to another pob or npc base) using a private server, also with how higher core models will look once they are completed.

Added to things to do. I was asked to do similar but in a different way, I like the new offered choice better.

b) When deploying a pob, add an option to only deploy a pob that will survive 1 minute with no or little material costs. This will let players see how their future core 1 base will look exactly when deployed, and where it will be. Maybe this can already be done by giving it very few starting hitpoints, with the need to give it crew+alloy+fwo soon after being built. (also see 2b)

Too many code restrictions, additions to add for a little effect. Rejected.

c) Add an option that will move pobs to an exact xyz/rotation that is not too far from the current position, for a price

Curious. It will be voted to decide if others allow to add it.

d) Let players buy custom pob models after the pob is built (like they are already used in events) once a pob has been placed.

Interesting.
Preferably it needs some other preplanned code additions being added before it is touched.
But they aren't strictly necessary and could be coded even without it.
Hmm, actually it should be coded with 'relative' thing I have in mind before adding it.
It will be voted if it would be allowed
