POB Base Insurance

[SwiftWing]

Attention Devs and ADMINs!


I would really like this Thread to be Copied to a Dev post area for Discussion, and Strong consideration. talked over by the Devs and see if this Idea could be tried out, and a Strong look at bases that have been Built up and maintained for Years and costing the base owners countless hours on the server to maintain these bases and adding to the player counts and so many hours Weekly to just maintain there bases.

This keeps Base owners coming back for sure. as apposed to the Countless repair time of a Battleship lets say, Oh wait, Yeah they Instantly Repair. Hmm seems to be very unfair to me.

Think about how many hundreds of hours a year one base can take up just keeping players online to keep there bases up.



Also bases need to be fixed where they can at least have a chance to kill some of it's attackers. Base attacks are very one sided. Bases don't really have a chance to defend themselves against lets say 6 ships for a few hours of fun to kill a base as apposed to the years of hard work that go into a base. how much has a attacking fleet lost. what? just the 1 hour Kill ban? then they are right back. and I know players that just log onto another ship and are right back in the fight with another ship. how is that even fair to bases and there owners, Bases are literly Sitting Ducks that cant move.

What can be done to improve the bases odds of Survival? Maybe Long range High Speed Missils that travel faster than Cruse speed maybe 700 speed with maybe 20k range at least so they stand a good chance at getting hit, and they always travel in Pairs, First missle does hull damage as well but is primarly a shield buster, second one is a hard hitting one. missiles that are harder to CM than anything else in the game with a faster turrning speed to be able to even have a chance at hititng fighters and Bombers with a fairly large blast radius. These weapons would only be for Bases not ships. the base would have 2 main Hardpoints built just for Missile defence. the weapon platforms the bases have now are way underpowered. Easaly destroyed and low yeald. and fairly easy for snubs to get within and avoid any heavy damage.

So in short bases need a total Overhaul. enemys to a base should really have to fight to take out a base not sit back and sip there drinks and fall asleep hitting just the fire button. make bases a real challenge! Something has to give, for base owners and give them a better chance at defending there base since there is a lower player base count.

We lost some really good and long time players back when all the bases where being destroyed, and I personally know a few that never came back. Positive Feed back very welcome. even if all you say is you think any parts of this are good Ideas.



NOTE: The bases can also have a minimum amount of time before the base can be Restored again and or Pulled off the map, maybe 90 Days or something like that,

Also Note: Remember only time you get to keep Everything on your base is if you have it pulled from the game or Moved to another place, If not contested in House space then you can have it moved to another place in the same system. if your base is destroyed then you only get the base back at 100% health with Base need goods on it only and Crew...



On our Old Server I was on PTC/CHAOS everyone loved it, and I never saw it being abused at all, and the dramatics dropped to pretty much Zero over base losses. So personally it was nothing but a Win Win for everyone. as far as I can remember not one person ever left over there base being destroyed, again it could be a Win win for GC as well.

I hope we can at least give it a try and see how it goes. because POB's add more RP to the server and more interaction between players cause more players or always on using or taking care of bases and adding RP on the forums that would not be there without POB's
