If no one need my opinion I'd say I would nerf Shield DMG % + PoB Health bar for each Core level, but this is not here. Bret Gov make their choice and this can't be undone. Go and build another 10 PoBs that will decay somewhere else.
It is head scratching the anti-POB angst we have here, this is Discovery Freelancer. If you don't like it, don't play here. It really didn't do any favors to the server to reduce the 'load' by a few of POB's. Giving priority to those who rarely use, or don't build their own POB's, rewards the crowd that wants to succeed by doing less. It's dragging down those willing do more, and earn more. POB's keep this place alive, and help players carve out some real purpose. So they get out to enjoy sieging POB's. Don't siege POB's to take out your angst on them, do it for real reasons. If the server needs help with the load, let's upgrade.
Besides, what lack of creativity! For hard sieges, someone could come up with a slow moving siege barge, like a trebuchet, that fires big single shots from 7-8k, once every 2 minutes, a huge high powered shot. It would need constant protection too. Without needing to change anything with POB's, well populated factions could qualify for getting a siege ship opened up to them. And imagine, if players had bases to siege other than POB's.
I had suggested they auction these bases first. In 2 cases the base owners were caught off guard by this. To be fair, if these bases were supposed to be paying base fees and were behind, it would have undoubtedly been [legally] justified.
For years I haven't really considered the BretGov or the Admiralty as playing to their roles properly. I partially blame from the lack of closed rolelpay, and too much story dept dominance. Why is a player who's signature is coalition, sieging bases for Bretonia? Also fighting for the Coalition against the Corsairs? Sieging bases all around, they hate them, but it's also...fun? Cognitive dissonance?
