Sup, everyone.

I have spent the last few days overhauling the Player-Owned Base Guide to be much easier to read.
In addition to this, I have included some details relating to the content added in with Patch 5.0.

Hope you all appreciate the new look for the guide.

May you all find some useful details in there!

• Zoners +17%
  
• Core +17%

Quote:1) Not sure about the new Siege Mechanics.
a) When known Siegers praise it, it rings slight alarm bells.
b) I have no idea how much the ammo costs and how much damage they do.
c) With a 2 hour window, how long does it take to reach the maximum damage?
d) I don't see how 6 x 2 hour, to kill a Core 4, is any better than what we had before, as it just appears that the Attackers just swamp the Base with ships very quickly.
e) A Core 1, unless it has nearly 50% health already, doesn't even survive first encounter.

POB Tutorial Wrote:Even during a vulnerability window, player owned bases only take damage from special, ammo-fed siege weapons mountable to gunboats, cruisers, battlecruisers, and battleships.
These weapons are available anywhere their non-siege equivalents are sold, with the following names:
Battleship Siege Turret (Class 10 - Battleship Heavy)
Cruiser Siege Cannon (Class 8 - Cruiser Heavy)
Gunboat Siege Cannon (Gunboat Forward Gun)

These weapons are fully capable combat weapons, albeit with an ammo restriction, which are specifically tuned to be the only weapons capable of damaging POBs.
The ammunition is quite expensive, which imposes something of a cost to the sieging party. In return, however, sieges are now typically much faster across the board if uncontested.

POB Tutorial Wrote:As a POB takes damage, the internal shield will react accordingly and begin to harden against outside fire.
This will manifest in the shield resistance to damage massively increasing over time, until such a point where no more damage can be done to the base until the next vulnerability window.
Short, combative siege windows which can be performed by a larger variety of ships and factions spread out over a longer campaign are the ultimate objective of this new system.
The 'reinforcement' threshold, or point at which a POB can take no further damage in that window, is noted below:
Core 1: 5,000,000 damage
Core 2: 5,000,000 damage
Core 3: 6,000,000 damage
Core 4: 7,000,000 damage
Core 5: 8,000,000 damage

Dev in the know Wrote:Bases start at 20% shield damage reduction when they first start taking damage during an invulnerability window. Then, every time a certain threshold of damage is reached -- it depends on the core of the base -- the base gains another 20% shield damage reduction. This can increase all the way to 100% (after 4 times the shield reinforcement threshold worth of damage is dealt), rendering the base invulnerable and creating what's effectively a damage cap per vulnerability window.

POB Tutorial Wrote:Base repair rates and damage rates are:
Wear and Tear Damage every 60 seconds = (200 * Core Level)
Wear and TearBase will take 4x Damage on bases below Crew requirement
Repair every 60 seconds = Number of repair commodities x 240 x Core Level
