Not at all, I'm simply saying that there's holes in needing to RP to blow up a base, in terms of common sense.
But there are no holes in having to RP with a player in an enemy snub before you blow them up?
What? You tell me, I'm not saying there are holes in RPing with snubs.
Making a quick comparison, a player ship can offer you something back in terms of interaction. A player base does not offer me anything back if I begin to talk to it in game. If I shoot it, it pulls it's shields up, which I guess could count as a reaction, rather than an interaction.
I'm not going to explain the holes I talk about, as it's all in the OP.
