Why do you not like player owned bases

[Sombs]

I liked PoBs when they weren't everywhere. Wesker was the perfect counterbalance, making sure that the PoBs that were around actually did the bare minimum of RP communication and felt like they deserved their place on the maps. Back then, people grouped up to take care of one PoB. Nowadays it's one person taking care of multiple, people use them to annoy other people with weapon platforms on hostile and it's really annoying to see how they pop up with oversized models in areas where they absolutely don't fit, like asteroid fields or debris fields. The big Newark-type stations used to be the marker for a house's main planet. Now you can see them anywhere. If it was about small models, no issue, but for a few hours of silent farming, you can basically have the same results like a huge Core 5 SRP megabase like Nichols.

Another thing that is unfortunate is that Discovery has a lot cool new stuff but PoBs still have the same mechanics, instead of being used to convert raw ores to commodities and Scientific Data and Codename weapons for capitals. I'd prefer if all wrecks no longer drop weapons but weapon parts as commodity, which need to be brought to PoBs for processing, so people actually go for hunting all wrecks again instead of the ones for Archangels and such.

It's a lot of unclaimed potential, and it's frustrating to see what PoBs have become now.
