Base Shield

[Haste]

Well, if bases are getting no "risky" counter..

One of the issues is that - depending on location of course - a base can be supplied with resources to last days in mere hours, so unless you can keep a 24/7 siege going and never, ever allow resupply, it's pretty much impossible to take a base down.

Not to mention everyone who owns a base probably has fifteen accounts worth of Titanics docked on there with fuel and other supplies to last another three months.

Oh, and also: the rate at which a base can be brought up to core two with a shield is quite a bit too high. If you really wanted to be 100% sure there'll no unwanted bases in your faction's ZOI, you pretty much have to patrol every square inch twice a day. Making the base consume significantly slower would help a great deal, so if people stay on top of the core 1 bases they see, and destroy anything unwanted before it gets a shield, they can succeed.

(Yes, I'm suggesting any faction that claims a certain part of space blow up anything that they don't recognize as soon as they run into it. A "48 hour notice" can be too late)
