Somthing I find Strange

[Thyrzul]

(...) it should take a good bit of damage to activate the shields on a base, maybe like 100 or somthing, rather than 1 and your mining laser activating it!

I think we need to ask Alley why the very same script as to NPC bases is not applied, if you know what I mean.

Well, my first and foremost guess to it would be that NPC bases are not PoBs, are nothing like PoBs, and while PoB behavior is entirely coded into a plugin executed via FLHook, NPC base behavior is hardcoded into the game itself, written in code to which nobody outside Microsoft has access to. I would expect people trying to compare one to the other to know the most important differences between the two.
