[PoB] Weapon platforms and PoBs part 2

[Megaera]

Just tell me why a base should not be shooting at an enemy ship? All NPC bases do it.

Lorewise it makes no sense and it seems easy to exploit for siegers

POBs with weapon platforms were long time blamed for being space dominatiors.
They were used to even blockade jumpholes and attacking anyone not friendly
Hell they are still used to blockade manhattan docking ring for example
Basically POBs bring advantage mostly to lawfuls
While giving unlawfuls headache and disappointment

You talk like unlawfuls have no POBs.

Main issue I see here is that enemies (lawfuls too) can just camp pobs without any consequences.
If I read correctly, people can also move into a comfortable position when a siege is underways before the fight happens and then only that 1 ship is attacked.
What about support snubs (anti snub platform becomes useless now)?
What about repair ships?

I would rather have a base that kills anything that comes close to it when its being sieged than some selective triggers.
I can think of so many different ways to abuse this mechanic, I am sure most others can too.

Also. What is wrong with area of denial? I wouldnt want any enemies hanging out near my base.
