Changes to POBs

[Lord Helmchen]

Also, I don't understand why they don't set it up so that W&T is dependent on the station? Why does a Core 1 go down as fast as a Core 4? Why isnt the W&T stronger on bigger stations than on the small ones?

If you notice, from a previous post of mine, that all the Core levels have a different amount of W&T damage.

At present a fully healed POB will take:
Core 1 to full decay from full health (400 million hps) = 463 days.
Core 2 to full decay from full health (600 million hps) = 457 days.
Core 3 to full decay from full health (800 million hps) = 457 days.
Core 4 to full decay from full health (1,200 million hps) = 554 days.
to decay to 0 hps.

With the W&T damage happening now 6 times faster, it will mean:
Core 1 to full decay from full health (400 million hps) = 77 days.
Core 2 to full decay from full health (600 million hps) = 76 days.
Core 3 to full decay from full health (800 million hps) = 76 days.
Core 4 to full decay from full health (1,200 million hps) = 92 days.
to decay to 0 hps.

Seeing as there isn't much difference in the time it takes for a Base to totally degrade, it can be seen the the higher Core Bases take more damage than those below them.

And correct me if I am wrong, but as an OF (with enough people), you can get a Core 5 base in which W&T is disabled? Why don't they have to do the transportation and logistics to keep the base up?

Because it was decided, a very long time ago, that Core 5 Bases would be an OF Perk and that they would have their W&T waivered.

Core Five
- Official factions that have proven responsible and productive role playing members of the community for at least three months as Core 4, may request to have their bases upgraded to Core 5. If factions wish to upgrade to Core 5, they must file for a request in this subforum.
- Once approved, base owner will receive, from the Server Administrators, another set of 'blueprints' to upgrade their base. Again, these blueprints are non transferable and any abuse will result in loss of base.
- With the upgrade to Core 5, wear & tear damage on the base will be disabled, and owners can further request the removal of FOW consumptions through a special roleplay request.
- Only one Core 5 base per official faction is permitted. If officialdom is lost, the Core 5 upgrade will be downgraded to Core 4.

In my opinion, it would have been much better to raise the cost of building one. People say it should be a job for a group of people, so why is it so easy to build one?? Like a core upgrade needed 380,000 items or 76 trips with a 5k. Even the price for a core upgrade is only about 418,000,000 credits + maybe a fee.

This has been discussed on many occasions, but nothing has ever come of it.

Ok i Get all of this stuff, and its good that Not supplyed Bases Decay faster. But if i have Understood the Original post Right then it also mean that the Consumption Rate of FOW and Repair/Upkeep Materials shall increase from 1440 Units a Day to 8640 Units a Day. In My Eyes this Punishes all the Pepole that Supply there PoBs and use them for RP Purposes and such.

Let me Give you a Example. We Have 2 Tier 2 PoBs in OS&C Property. We supply them ususaly once or twice a Month with 20k of FOW and Hull Plates Each. With a Increase In FOW and HP consumptions like this we would now be Forced to Supply the Base every 2 Days. I understand that you want to Get Rid of Old Not Supplyed PoBs and thats Fine, but a Increase in Upkeep will only Make POBs more Unatractive for Pepole. We Usualy need 3 to 4 Hours to stock our POBs, and it works fine if we do it once or two times a Month. But i dont think that Orbitals Members have Time to Refill the POBs every 2 days.
