Increase base starting defense?

[Talesin]

No need to change anything in my opinion.

After 5 hours of work, my completely legally constructed Kishiro base got destroyed by a lolwut Kusari lawful indie breaking the Kusari Legal Codex.

6.9 You must follow the restrictions/allowances of your ID, as well as the diplomacy of the NPC faction it
represents. If your ID does not represent an NPC faction (generic IDs), then your reputation and conduct
must match the actions of your character. You must not dock at bases that your NPC faction is hostile to, or
attack allies of your NPC faction.

Report him and ask admins to restore your base, bases have been restored before since it would not have fallen without players breaking rules to bring it down.

Tried already. Lucky if you can find one person who's not doing his own thing.

Ursus, how can I get 70 000 materials at once? I'd need 2 barges. And with how many of them there are, probably couldn't find one to buy.

Thats how I built Nichols Trade Center. Didn't even have to use a barge.

You could always join the official Kishiro faction.

We are building a base in Sigma-19 right now, quite comfortably with two primary people as administrators.

And if you really, REALLY just wanted to build your own base - you could always hire the GMG Barge, the Glorious, as well as the Kishiro Barge, the Tsussen.

I am sure that being an indy is great - but if you talked to people, you never know what deals could be struck!

Just because you are indy - doesnt mean you have to be alone. You CHOOSE to be alone. Your choice, your consequence.

As for the destruction of your base - if you truly feel it was a violation of the Legal Codex - make a formal complaint to the government. If that indy was out of order, he could be in for a world of trouble!

[font=Comic Sans Ms]Voted keep as is, and +1ing the idea to hire official factions - it works. As a true example, there are a couple of players who have hired the .:j:. to jump in with their multiple barges and trains to upgrade and supply bases. One of those wasn't even a friend of ours, but someone unknown who PMed the faction leaders with there request and got approved.

No free rides anywhere.

If you're gonna start giving bases starting defense, give Battleships starting turrets.

Give bombers starting SNACs...

IMO
There should be atleast 4 turrets for weak poking like
4 BS solaris

On the actuall station not as platforms.

Basic base construction tip (and how Falster, despite a sustained Corsair attack, survived being constructed):
Person 1: Get the base deployment unit. Jot down all the commands you'll need to give it. This person will do nothing but set the password, manage base inventory and make sure the base keeps building.
Person 2: 5K transport loaded with -exactly-: 500 food, water, oxygen. 750 Basic Alloy, Robotics, Hullpanels. 200 Crew. The combination of the 3 repair commodities is critical as it will allow the base to regenerate very fast, preventing any single lolwut from blowing it up.
Person 3: Barge, stuffed with the materials required to build the base shield at once. Person 3 will half unload the barge, then switch to a 5K transport.

Person 2 and 3 then start hauling the most accessible commodity to the base in order to construct the base shield (the remainder should be on the barge). Once the base shield is up, fuel it and start working on whatever the base needs. I generally recommend an additional storage module, then core upgrade. Using the barge as an additional "storage module" by leaving it docked to the base also helps a lot, by buffering commodities you don't need rightaway. It can also serve as an emergency supply cache for when a base is being attacked.

15.200 Hull damage a second with 1,8k range and 2k speed isn't exactly what i'd call "weak poking", however i agree with you that there should be few turrets on the actual station like on normal stations.

But i think, they should be as strong as on normal station, like transport turrets or something.

Hello, are you talking about bases? Bases which must be a result of work of many people? One just can't establish space station and supply it. One just will fail and this is understandable, fair and right. There are at least 200 people on the station and how many of them must supply and defend it? Just one? Impossible. Buy a barge and pretend it's a base.

And yet one can singlehandedly purchase and crew gigantic dreadnoughts bristling with high powered weapons and state of the art systems which are actually the same size if not larger than some small space stations...

Uh.

Yes they can.

I did it.
