Why do you not like player owned bases

[Stewgar]

It would appear that slowly but surely the PoB-focused part of the community has started viewing their PoBs as permanent structures, and any threats towards them as personal harassment, when that is clearly not how any of this was intended. PoBs are temporary. It is important that game mechanics are designed keeping that in mind. Local unlawfuls sieging a lawful playerbase (or vice versa) should be a routine part of gameplay, and so long as the defenders can muster some forces whenever required, they should be favoured to keep the base intact. But if they can't, they'll have to rebuild instead.

If you think this is what is going on than, respectfully, you have not been paying close enough attention. When you have RP pre-set and approved by the residing faction and then that faction, with poor RP, declares a siege on that base and a faction that shouldn’t have any part of it other than they are all OORP buddies involves themselves than yes, it pisses people off. Planting hidden bases and having them sieged after being found, not paying fees, or making enemies with the residing factions in the area are justifiable reasons for an attack that any rational person would understand. This mess in O-11 is not one of those cases and was unprompted. The fact that the sieging side has not responded, other than to make troll posts, just goes to show how oorp this was.

That is why the POB portion of this community is so rattled. All we are asking for is rational RP.
