Base Shield

[AeternusDoleo]

Your beating a dead horse Snake. Although i agree with you fully, the players with bases have to many friends here, and as such, pretty much run the server. Admins will do nothing to bases, Devs will do nothing to bases. The average player cannot make a base, so the Skype lords rule, and run the server as they please.
Personally i think POBs was the worst addition to Discovery since 4.83, and ruined the game for me. I have lost most of my will to play here, and only log on now 1 or 2 times a month just for a little pew pew, and to keep chars active.
Only Cannon can change bases at this point, but i really do not think he even cares anymore these days. Just my oppinion

Bases are meant to be run by groups, yes. They are designed that way. Bases are meant to be -extremely- resilient if you supply them properly. The only think I currently find a bit skewed is the free, near instantaneous respawn of the gun platforms - they should take a bit longer, and should cost some resources to respawn. Destroying platforms should effectively drain a base, much like keeping the shield up drains fuel.

But giving anyone who can muster some 10-15 capital ships together the ability to insta any base? Not going to happen. It takes several hours of group play at least to build one up - it'll have to take at leas that amount of effort to bring one down.
