DPC raping bases AGAIN? I never understood why people believed rollback and temp plugin lock would magically fix everything. But I never imagined they would continue hacking so soon. Between none caring for fixing exploits and plugin having hole at each step, I don't really know "how?". Oh, and your comments like "we can't fight them, just wait for them to leave" is probably no less fun to them than QQ btw.
Edit: I also vote for Srp btw. Not that it's change most needed, but it's beneficial nevertheless.

I am absolutely for SRP bases awarded to those factions that earned the privilege to have a base. Then we will never have another O-74 situation again.

They need forum RP? Yes they do. As far as I know it's 4 months of massive forum RP. And 250 mills just to have a chance. Like some kind of lottery machine. And what if I'm not good at writing backstories but am a good and respectful player? Then I have no chance to make a base which is just silly imho.
Base building should require: time, money, dedication and understanding your environment. Which it requires now. It's not William Shakespeare anniversary storywriting...
The base can have the RP regardless. Huge difference between RP and SRP.
And by the way if I happen to have 10 different forum accounts SRPing 10 different bases then I can plague the galaxy with My own PoBs. Which is NOW prevented by the supply need. And it's still a money sink and it still generates transport traffic. We need both gents.
Phew. So because of these dozen reasons I still would like to keep bases as they are now.
The first reason is only an issue limited to yourself. But you could team up with others that want to make a POB and have them help you and vice versa.
That last reason is a non reason since it would realistically require too much time, effort and unique RP. You cant exactly copy and paste the RP 10 times and hope it goes through 4 months down the line. Hell if bases are going to be SRP'd what would stop the admins from writing some rules on it. I.e has to be a combined group effort (and I think it is really hard to pretend to be other people and adopt different writing styles so someone using alt accounts to write the group RP would stand out.
Okay. To make it clear. I can write stories. I was talking in general. Not everyone can.
I wasn't saying to copy paste the same thing. I was saying write different stories with all the accs. Maybe 6 goes through from 10 which is still too much for just 1 guy. Admins can't just set a rule that it must be a group effort. They could be one's alt accounts.
And bases must remain to be money sinks and transport traffic generators.
Btw I don't think making bases SRP make them immune to cheaters. They're the job of the anticheat.
I know those with massive forum background will disagree whatever I say.
