Own bases.

[Gentlefood]

Personally I feel that bases are going to need a whole lot of new rules in regards to their destruction, if not requiring a preplanned event.

They're quite the lump of change to make and if everyone simply logged a pirate or a lawful bomber, or even cap and went base hunting they wouldn't have much popularity.

Sure you can make a base heavily armed and armored enough to discourage such behavior, but what about ooRP hate? Or simple lolwuttery, no matter how many guns I can imagine gank fleets dedicated to destroying bases.

It's the same, a bomber can store 70 Nova Torpedoes which have the range of 4.2K, and as far as I discovered, the firing range of bases is around 2.5-3K...

I think that there should be no particular rules. You have two kinds of situations: hidden (in difficult areas to get to) or protected ether by our own faction or because of your rep. If you are friendly with Outcast you should get the outcasts to protect your base and so on. I don'€™t think a base needs to be outrageously expensive; so if you lose it you won'€™t lose your shirt as well.
I recon somebody will want to kill me for saying this, but what if one could buy basses from the server owners in real cash '€“ which goes towards the maintenance to the servers.

What I heard is, no single player can run a own base. It would make you poor.


If you all check the server [Discovery of Discovery] you would imagine that the fire power can be raised of a base.
I tried to destroy Norfolk Shipyard with a RM BS. And??? My regens went out and my hull was down to 20%.
You can buy at this server Station Turrets.

What else I heard is you can steer your base (fire/move).


Once I traveled out. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out. From the center you can fly 750km up - down- or where ever you like.
So hiding a base in a system shouldnt be that complicated.



And if you dont maintain your base it will self- destruct.

Correct me if im wrong. I cant wait until this is released:)

What is known, and is moderately public knowledge, is that you will need to maintain a Player-owned Station by delivering supply commodities. Think food, water, oxygen and so on.

It's not like only Official Factions will be able to run a Station - all you will need is a group of players to band together to help keep a base up and running.

As for defense and offense - well, that's still in the air.
