So I'm big on not complaining about something unless I can make a suggestion to improve that which I am complaining about. My complaint is regarding player bases. On one hand - they should take a large force to destroy and on the other hand they shouldn't be impossible to destroy. I'm also of the mind that you shouldn't be able to destroy a base by shooting it every 15 minutes with a bunch of ships as to avoid the shields.
So my suggestion!
The basis for my suggestion is the creation of a new type of shield, exclusively for player bases and new siege weapons. The new shields would take very little damage from standard weaponry. They would be more vulnerable to the siege weaponry. As far as siege weaponry goes, I'd say all of the caps and bombers should be able to mount them.
Next thing would be to have the shields online at all times - only using fuel to regenerate. That way there is none of this shooting the station with a bunch of ships every 15 minutes.
Next (if possible) would be to make it so no transport can dock while the shields are regenerating. Clearly the station is under siege and should not lower its shields (making itself very vulnerable) for anything short of a miracle.
Lot of work? I'm not sure. Anyways, thoughts, opinions, suggestions to improve the suggestion. Etc etc. Let's help the dev team instead of just whining!
