Bastilled ships

[Ronnie Rayburn]

This is a much bigger issue and the lolwut actions around base destructions helped to make it show. What is needed is a set of rules of "How/where/how not to to build them", and "How to attack/destroy" them.

The attitude and the bad interaction on a rather big scale has forced Admins to react. So they reacted. That's the first results.

A clear set of rules has been needed from the very beginning of PoB history. Despite many people adressing this issue, there has been no effort to actually do this. The fact that the admins have reacted is fine with me. What's not fine with me, is the fact that they've yet to come up with some sort of reason and list of which chars are actually targeted. You can't just go around punishing people without telling them why.

Have to agree with you on this one. If you have a base, you are responsible for it. See it as inRL as most of us see it also inRP.. How much sense would it make if for example i would plan some invasion of a country to give them a warning before we do so?

In RL, you'd hardly announce your intentions to shoot, no matter what the target is. But since there's a rule saying that you should RP before pewpew as far as ships are concerned, then it's only logical that there should be some kind of RP before shooting a base. Ofc you can't RP a base in game, but the forums would be an exellent place to do it in. That would give everyone a fair chance, and it would be along Disco guidelines, which means RP has priority.

The problem people have Spazzy, is that you may be using the RP justification (i.e. having the correct ID) but your intentions were clearly to simply piss people off.

That's something that's been going on in different forms for as long as I've been playing this game. It's usually been a group of players gathering under one ID or tag, and then they've targeted a certain group or person. It's nothing new.

And this, people, is a bright example of what happens when you put expensive "lose-on-death" equipment into the game.

This message is mainly meant to those, who were proposing ideas of ship loss on death, not to current bases. Sorry for offtopic.

This post is something to consider. Did anyone in their wildest dreams think that there wouldn't be problems like this concerning the PoB's? A destroyable base, and a community of pewpew-people... You might as well name your base "Shoot me, plz!" And as Knjaz says... Loss-on-death ships... OMG! Then the crap will really hit the fan.

PoB's was a bad idea from the start. The issues with cloaks and jumptrading has only caused new issues.
