I'm not sure how people have grown attached to the current, awful, Battleship sieging mechanics. How often have you sieged bases? It's the single least fun activity in the game. It also creates issues that have been pointed out quite a few times in the past: groups like the Liberty Rogues have no large capital ships and thus have to do weird ooRP stuff like logging Ranseurs to kill a PoB they don't want.
The siege platform solves that issue, and it's nice and symmetrical, with both sides defending a persistent, vulnerable structure.
