Admin Notice: Player Owned Bases

[Duvelske]

In my opinion PoBs should be SRP only and the option to destroy a base should be removed. Instead maybe develop an option that can be activated by the base owners that allows the destruction of a base just by it's hitpoints and add a thread where an aggressor can demand an event (only with a RP-Background) for the destruction of a base. The defenders cannot decline this demand and have to defend the base in a limited time for being allowed to deactivate the destruction-option.

I like it, but how you think inRL and especially within history cities where conquered? Not by knocking on the door and make sure your side has the most casualties. To destroy a supplied base is impossible, just make sure its well supplied and hire folks to protect your base. Or supply it with goods for example by making additional trading routes for the people who cross your station. To make them have some additional creds to earn. Its a win win situation for the owner of the station and the random people crossing by.

4) This is irelevant to my point about not having a base.

I'm sorry, I must have missed it. What exactly was your point about not having a base? From what I saw, you were just making a point that base building is easy/simple, which I don't really agree with.

The point I was making is in response to a remark that players who have no base were destroying them out of jelousy.

1-3) If sited correctly not always - mine and a second base both in the Newcastle system were core 4 before being found/attacked. This proves the importance of location.

It doesn't matter where you place them now. They find them using hacks....hiding is not possibru.

Well using a hack to get the location would be cheating and I would advise reporting them if you know of any.

Finding bases is not hard and doesn't require a cheat. It doesn't even require that much patience. Each system is limited in size and a 'hidden' base can be found quicker then making a brand new char repped and equipped, only need just a bit of organization. Problem is they currently can be taken to pieces and subsequently need to be restored. The bases are in safeguard because while up they chew through commodities and take up player time that will end up being lost. The possibility of temporarily shutting down the server was turned down but this means it exposes players and their ships to a possible roll back of the server, negating work done since then. But we are in the idea of still letting people play, remain vigilant for our group of inconveniences and continue working on a permanant solution.

Ah thank goodness - I really do hope they get restored with only the cheating player bases getting removed or something along those lines.

.....but this means it exposes players and their ships to a possible roll back of the server, negating work done since then.....

Please don't let this part slip your notice as the possibility is very real. Have some fun, don't get too involved in a massive project that can't be suspended and expressed with SSs after. We'll be in touch.

There green letters even...heh colours, pretty colours.

When will you restore the base script?

Were fools to make war on our brothers in arms.

[ProwlerPC]

The date that it will be restored back to will be figured out by seeing the trail of damage which is also when we will know when we will restore. Sorry, not very helpful I know. Best I got atm.

I think the possibility of a roll-back is better than taking the server down.
Thanks for the effort you guys put in. *bow*

I second this.

What does a roll back mean?

If you bought a gun on date Y and game is rolled back to date X, does that means the gun you bought your char on date Y or money you made on that date Y will not be there when rolled back to X ???
