When does a core 1 base die ? After 192456 years ?

[Lamare]

Why doesn't somebody just add a Battleship weapon that is impossibly slow to use except against a base?

A missile that has a delay like three times the firing delay of the Nova, so it takes considerable time to launch, and moves slow like at 40 m/s, but can do incredible damage. It will temporarily overload base defenses and help cause immediate damage. I doubt a weapon this slow could be abused in ship to ship combat, but it could be balanced (range, energy, and damage too) to be a siege-only weapon for BS'es against bases.

It seems you do not have enough experience in cap combat, sorry =\
40 m/s? More than enough to blow up some unaware battleships from point blank. Just uncloak from the front! But since ship's speed is added to the missile speed (if you fire at the same direction), you can do it even from behind, and even without cloak and, possibly, from high distance.

Once again, you cannot reduce base survivability and at same time allow it to be attacked at any time without giving defenders chance to react Because you'll run into people preparing for certain day, early in the morning with minimum server load to log in and pwn unwanted base. Or just when they know, for sure, that defenders are away/too busy in real life to do anything about the attack.

I agree that bases should be a form of SRP so people dont just build a base in house space and before the house sees it its already near indestructible. We should prob involve this with a big RP side. EX. So and so finds this base in there space, they send coms on the channels to organize a group for a specific time to siege the base. they send a com to an admin showing they have a group event. (also invite the defenders ofcorse) and the admin sets the base as a little bit easier to destroy for that specific time period the event is scheduled.

Well I think I have idea how to solve this,
first about weapon, general idea is good, but need some fixing,
I would say make generic base destroyer (maybe just with some different skins avaible) ship with size of at least medium BS, It could have only several anti snub guns - no heavies or mediums, and anti base gun, such ship should be granted to any official faction with enough power INRP to destroy bases, I suggest max 2 ships for faction,
and about gun - make it shoot only backwards with fixed arc and with 20-40ms speed (something like valor forward gun but at back of the ship with low speed and higher damage), all that should solve problem of someone being insta killed and prevent OORP spamming of such ships, Beside Houses and factions like Corsairs, Outcasts, such ship should be SRP only,

thoughs?
