Ammo should not be cheaper in any way, the attacking force should have to pay something! they should have some expenses. They are getting by so very cheap as it is now.
Honestly Look how much it cost to build and maintain a base, and look at all the expenses your causing the POB owner/s. and Honestly don't you think you should have to pay something for destroying a base that might have taken Years to Maintain and Supply countless Millions put into a base that you can kill in just a few short days.
Base defense's are so worthless that you hardly never lose a ship to a POB, how is that fair. a base should Easily be able to kill a ship every now and then it's only fair because your ship will be right back in the fight where is your real loss? Siegers want to kill bases with out any losses or having to pay anything to kill POB's.
POB Owners lose bases that have been maintained for years and there is no Base insurance to bring back a base, and where as your ships Auto Respawn full health.
I strongly believe POB Owners should be allowed to purchase Base insurance to be able to have there base resurrected with Only Base need supplies on the new base if it has been destroyed, the base would be restored to it's pre destroyed state minus anything stored on the base, this can also be used to pull a base from the game if your going to stop playing for some pierid of time where you can not maintain the base. if the base is pulled all Item's on the base would also be restored. but the base placement can not be contested in the new location and has to follow all the current rules for placement etc. People are not going to be leaving the game cause there base got destroyed if the have base insurance so this also should strongly be thought on hard. to keep the old long time players. before I know of 2-3 players that left the server and never came back. but they would have stayed if they had the chance to have base insurance. Yeah they might have had to find a new System and location setc. but they would still be here now...
There needs to be some serous thought on how to make it harder to kill POB bases not easier. I think that each POB should come with Long range fast heavy hitting missiles, one mounted on top and one below. each firing 2 missiles. the same turret could also have standard guns mounted on them. the base should be able to hit targets rather out that a BB can fire, so a good change at hitting a BB and doing some damage, I mean come on now really, a POB is like shooting a duck in a cage that can't run or fight back.
