Loldestroying bases allowed or not?

[Bootsiuv]

Giving a time limit would be pretty dumb, because that would let the owners know their base has run out of regens, so they supply it and you lose your chance to destroy it.

That's just it though, isn't it?

If we want to stop "lolwuttery" and people from shooting bases simply because they come across one with no regens, we need to make some kind of rules requiring rp be done before-hand.

BUT....if we conduct RP before-hand, we lose the element of surprise and strategy that one might expect from a military operation.

Honestly, I'm torn at this point on how best to handle it.

I know "the Blackpool Incident" didn't seem like the way to go though...
