Theoretical Scenario

[Enoch]

Its a new game dynamic.

I dont find that hard to accept at all.

That's actually hard to accept for combat-oriented factions.
I mean, what would happen ? People would just dock, restock, launch and re-engage ? It's already a pain to fight near an enemy base, now it's just going to be impossible. And don't tell me not to fight near enemy bases, populated systems have one base every 10k.
You say that factions that have a base in the system should have the advantage... That's a good point. But I would prefer them to have an advantage thanks to their skill, not thanks to a rule.

If they guy has an allied base right next to him I shouldnt be able to beat him. It makes no sense.

I agree on the theory side. But I think that sometimes realism should stand out of the way of fun.

Edit : Geez, that's close to be the most constructive post I ever made.
