I have a few questions about actions regarding POBs in terms of their mechanics and server rules:
Mechanics: Is there a max distance between a POB and one of its Weapons Platforms? I have found nothing but silence on the matter.
Mechanics: Also, do POBs fire on each other if they are marked hostile to each other? Again, no mention, but probably not.
For example, the Rogues manage to build a POB right next to Long Island without intervention (suspend your disbelief), then mark the base as belonging to the Liberty Rogues after getting it powered up with, say, a Shield Generator and two Weapons Platforms, both in range of Long Island's turrets, and then set defensemode to "kill everyone not in good standing or in a Camera Ship". Would the bases fire on each other? One, that spectacle would be worth traveling all over Sirius for a battle that will last a few hours without intervention depending on how well-supplied both bases are, and two, it's roughly a hundred million (103,650,000, numbers from Guide and estimates for consumables, in this case, we're assuming 2k of crew and food/water/oxygen, 14k MOX, 14k Reinforced Alloy) in exchange for watching two POBs duke it out, if they notice each other at all.
Finally,
Rules: Is it okay to use POBs to blockade a dockable object? Melbourne and Golden Coin were interdicting Jumps to and from Omega-49/Alaska until the Gate/Hole was moved, so it's not without precedent to do so.
Being a part-time idiot, I probably missed those questions. If I did, point me in the right direction.
