EVE have example of working gameplay concept of destroyable base in openworld game.
As i wrote before it have next components:
1) Specialised siege weapon
2) Base have vulnerability time settings, so owner know when attack possible.
3) Siege happens in three short stages.
After some discussion with decktare, he pointed that vulnerability time chosen by owner will probably suck in discovery. I kinda agree, have no statistic on server, but certainly we havent so much people to cover any TZ on any faction. Any ideas how it can be adapted?
In discord was idea about cooldown between siege attempts (basically its that "dead for 3days bs" thing) not sure if it good.

I won't bother again with the Enclave.
Click the blue X
I did, it shows a Core 1 base, which I know they are Legally allowed to blow up without cause. What the image DOESN'T show is an affiliation. That means the the declaration is literally a, "Because we can", with a side of CYA.
I repeat, the entire attack declaration, in RP, doesn't know whom they are attacking.
I have an Idea that might work, to keep this from Getting out of hand, Have only One thread that all Base attacks go in, and a GM or GM's will manage it, And remove Old Post and post that have nothing to do with the Current POST Thread. and Allow or Dis-Allow a base attack, I think that there needs to be Proof that a POB has broken some kind of Rule. And a GM would go over the Evidence and Approve it if there is enough Proof, after Time has passed to Contact the POB Owner, and the Owner Given a chance to Solve the Problem in some way.
If the base is at least Core level 2, Or level 1 that's been there for some time and being used by all Like a Mining base that helps players and the Server, they should be given a chance. Now if a base pops up with no Permissions or anything a fly by night base. then it is fair game, by Standard rules in place now.
if you have not noticed we would be calling in a Referee, But mainly there needs to be time and a Honest effort to contact the owner and at least give them some way to make amends, Change IFF's or stop what ever they are doing.
There needs to be a Forum Listing of all POB Owners if they would like a chance to settle things before there base could be attacked.
But since a Level 2 base and above takes so many hours to Build up and daily Maintenance, To be fair when a BS is Destroyed Boom Hit Respawn, they have nothing to lose.
I don't care who you are, if you spend months or Years keeping a base up to make the game better and some Joker just decides to blow it up. I can't imagine anyone not getting Pissed over it.
The Problem really is Some people get off on Making trouble and hurting others, They want the Greeff of others. and they will make up anything to be able to do this, and I hope that this Idea works cause a GM could Sanction or Bann Players that only get onto cause trouble. and if this thread was set up and a Good GM kept an eye on things. then he could put a stop to players just making things up just so they could go around and Kill bases for there Jollys.
I hope that this is received by all as a Possibility and we can find something along these lines to work with. at least it would be a lot more fair than whats going on now.
Maybe we can at least try this Idea, until we find something better that comes along. at least we want be losing Long time players. Because I've seen this before where Players come to a server and rase Holy Hell tell they get banned from the server a week or two later. all the people that they gave the hell to had bad feelings about it all, and some left and never came back. and they had been on the server almost every day for years. and a GM could put a stop to bad players if he is paying attention to whats going on.
It should be a lot harder to just write something and go kill a base. The GM should look if the base is being heavily used by a Lot of players the GM should also take that into consideration.
Thanks so very much for everyone that took the time to read this. God Bless you all.
Remember if they are going to kill Months and months of work the base should be able to at least fight back so they would not be So eager to just go kill all the POB's. A POB should be allowed to fight back and Kill a few BS's. at least a BS just get to Hit Respawn thats it for them. Only Respawn time lost. Now is that fair really to the POB Owner?
