[PoB] Weapon platforms and PoBs part 2

[darkwind]

While WPs are annoying and (some) people here despise base hugging I believe removing "tactical" advantages from the game to be a mistake. First the mine fields / explosive gas fields are nerfed, then the regular NPC WPs, now there's suggestion to remove area denial from base WPs...

Pretty sure if this continues we can just remove everything besides Connecticut so everyone can have a fair and balanced firefight in controlled conditions, every time, right ?

In my honest opinion what is really needed is a fix to unlimited WP respawns / or unlimited WP ammo. That way the platforms can still be (ab)used creatively (hey, someone might RP blockading an important jump hole or something - with real in-game consequences - not that it is allowed under normal conditions as far as I know?), but he would have to maintain supplies to keep the WPs effective.

This would also allow a siege using a lighter, but a more persistent force, one that would target WPs until their respawns run out, then attack unopposed by hard hitting WPs.

Weapon platforms already do not perform their job to protect base. They can be disabled with quite easy. PoB owners who more concerned for their pob, instead of playing POB domination, would prefer seeing them buffed at the cost of removed space domination.
