This is a weird topic. Nowhere does the discussion come up if basebuilders need RP. However, putting a base up is not(or should not) be easy to do... You'd need to get several people involved. This has got to be RP'ed no? Most of the time its just a silent trader or 2 dragging stuff from point A to B.
As soon as you start Rp'ing your building a base you get powergamed and everyone and their mothers show up(with very little RP) to shoot it as we've seen in the past.
Whilst there should be SOME RP involved in base killing I reckon that you should treat bases like they've treated the RP factors themselves.
You put up a base with very little attempt to RP, you'll see very little warning of its destruction.
