POB Base Insurance

[Grumblesaur]

[...] 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.

You make it sound like POB owners are doing the community a favor. A base is just a tool. POB owners are free to use such tools as they see fit, but they aren't required to use them. Seeing as most of the activity that POBs drive is trading or short-distance mining—things which NPC bases already drive—there isn't much added value in the way you describe.

It's not unfair either. It's a risk–reward tradeoff. It's possible to build ship upgrades on a POB that can't be obtained by any other means in the game, but this is balanced by the risk that such construction won't go on indefinitely. Players who aren't willing to take on that risk don't deserve the reward.

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.

Defense modules and shield generators don't exist to do the work of playing the game for the POB owners. They exist to slow attackers down long enough for defenders to log in and repel the enemy. POB owners that can't repel a few capital ships should make a few friends that know how to fly bombers. It's supposed to be a team effort.
