Bases

[Derkylos]

Base camping is bad, right? Undocking to 5 hostiles who go "aha, another one, engaging" does not make for a fun experience.

As such, one wonders...why do bases not have better defences? Granted, they now have pulse cannons...but that is all they are good at, it seems. Many times have I flown past/fought near a hostile base, and the best they can seem to muster is an instakill of my shields, possibly with some minor scratches on my hull. True, suddenly losing shields is not a good experience, but, it is hardly sufficient to make me think "oh, I won't stay here".

And, to cap it all off, I recently sat next to the GC battleship while GC tagged, and watched 4 hostile Hogosha CSVs almost fully drain my shields before the battleship finally got them...and this is NPCs with no shieldbusters against a battleship...
