' Wrote:Can you explain how my proposal is extremely abusable?
With 2 min time-limit on every manual shield off and not allowing anything to dock/undock while the shield is on?
What exactly you find abusable? If the base owners want to use the shield option- it is up to them no-one makes anyone to do anything really, the second part fixes the loophole.
If the base is under attack and some ship is docked on it is logical to lower the shield if you want out,same logic by the vanilla freelancer- you cannot harm the hull of the ships with shield on, you cannot drop any item out of the shield without lowering the shield. If you have better ideas how to fix this go ahead.
Only owner can lower shields. 10 people docked at a base. None of them have admin rights to it. How do they lower shields? They cannot. THAT is why it will not work. THAT is why you would all have to stop shooting to allow those players to leave base. THAT is the rule we currently have in place, and have had for years. I see no reason to change it now so a select few can pew pew a base.
Now you want to give everyone ability to drop shields on base then that is also very abusable and will never happen. Face it mate. You are wrong. You broke the rules, and now want a way to blow up bases, and punish owners because you dislike the rules we have. Why should we make it harder for base owners, and easier for those who want to blow bases up? Please give me 1 good reason.
