POB Siege Idea

[The_Godslayer]

The whole stink about the way sieges take place without any decent RP to destroy them has cost this game a lot of active players.

+1 order PoB on top of jumphole, and this one wasn't even on purpose. Most PoBs are killed hard and fast because there are actually people who intend to do this, and we've learnt the hard way. When abusing economy oversights, locking hostile factions out of systems, and being toxic when people get sick of it and break your stuff is the norm, of course PoBs are going to get a bad rep. Every time there's a system change and people use that as an excuse to throw their PoB next to a base or a Jump Hole to camp or stack weaps on it, you lose a few people willing to tolerate it, and you polarize the people. Every time a PoB owner acts up, people who don't deal in PoBs hate them more, and people who do get more defensive.

You want a fix to the issue? Get rid of every cancerous PoB owner, and keep the ones who don't cause issues. Until then, stop advocating to make PoBs unsiegable through extensive rules. It's pretty obvious that the goal is "Make sieging a base such an unbearably long process that no one can go through with it", and is only adding to the polarization. Make an actual solution, don't just be more of the problem.

And really, if "Sit my pob on top of a hostile factions base in order to make sure they can't log on" is the activity you want to defend, then forgive the mighty laughter I'm about to do.
