nothing stops you to jointly make a PoB with the opposing faction using FL ID etc. in a contested system, make RP, build history, get custom model.
And then ask Admins to have an event for who takes control and then keep fighting for it. Eventually possibly even making it a canon.
Heck you don't even need Admins - make a PoB with joint effort between e.g. BAF and Coallition using neutral IDs to haul, split costs, agree that at X damage in X time it swaps sides, if damage is not done, defending faction keeps it. Build enough back and forths and story that devs would have no choice but to consider it canon eventually since both Faction OFs agreed on it, made it jointly happen, set the terms and fought for it
This is very simple, you can start right now to work on it - all you need is a joint effort between opposing factions to create something new together, very straightforward and easy to implement, needs no staff approval and just some admin effort if you decide to go the way of plugin events for initial holder of the base decision - good luck!
Yeah except we can all make better use of our time by opening things up for the whole server. But yes if there were places that were going to wind up under regular siege attempts, I would build a POB or help contribute to any who are helping to secure a place. To me thats even more epic. I would already know the grinding is for something. The other purpose is to add a bright shiney new feature to the mod that adds a new appeal. No one's really doing it the way you described because its not really practical.
Now I'm not demanding it happen overnight but if we could get devs to try it and say we'll try to get it on the go within a month or 6 weeks that would still be fine. The whole rest of the year could be much more exciting.
What do you mean not practical? Just talk to the opposite faction, make a joint new PoB splitting the costs in a reasonable place and then fight for it, agree that at X damage siege stops and it gets swapped ownership.
Anyone on the server can do this, you can start now with existing mechanics. It works well, other factions will follow.
