why are lawless factions like coalition allowed to declare a peacefull freelancer base in omega 2, that allows everybody to dock and to sell or buy ore, as illegal installations and just have to destroy it? the game name is still freelancer or? But freelancers are only seen as targets of roleplayer. They cant defend themselfes, they not allowed capships, but unlawful factions are allowed to buy capships and destroy bases with it. there is no system where freelancer have own rights, but every unlawful player have rights.. is that fairplay or is that anarchy? i hope i am not the only one that thinks so. and why destroy freelancer bases and not hunt the players that come full of worthful stuff from that bases? are freelancers like a sickness, that have to be killed, before they become a lifeform?
Unlawfuls tend to blow up bases that interferes with their piracy by providing safe docking for miners. You'll have a better chance of survival if you build 20k+ distance away from mining fields, near NPC bases with permission of the official faction leaders that the bases belong to, and with some good irp name that doesnt sound oorp. Even then, you're still in danger of having your base destroyed by players who just like to destroy bases. I wish something was done about that, but it likely wont.
Listen, lad. If you want to build a POB for diamonds I recommend you to do this in Omega-3 thus Coalition will not destroy your base. And yes, roleplay name, roleplay existence and other stuff is required to make sure you pob will be safe for so long as it is possible.
I'm not sure why you think this is something that only unlawfuls do. Build a base in California some time without going through the proper channels and see how long the Liberty Navy lets it stand.
Everyone has to deal with the local powers in one way or another.
If you think about it, you have been hunted by lawfuls and unlawfuls during the Freelancer campaign while playing as a Freelancer. Wouldn't be fair if we stopped doing that, right?
All jokes aside, building a PoB is always risky, especially if you build it in a region where people tend to dislike PoB's and blow them up ( Omegas, Omicrons etc). As a Freelancer, you have the luck of being able to build things almost anywhere if you contact the lawfuls or unlawfuls of that region beforehand, some of which might even be willing to help you with funding or building the base, while others will try to find and destroy it.
Liberty for example tends to gank everything that comes even remotely close to their bases if they are registered and not against the inRoleplay laws. So if you want to build a base, I suggest you try it near or in Liberty, even if they will ask you to pay some money every month
And if you want to have a system that belongs to Freelancers,(which is Freelancer center) then welcome to Coronado
Obviously it would be also a good idea, to analyze existing Freelancer ID Official Factions to see where they are located to get some idea where it would not be hard to build your base too. Small research through Forum is required checking official and unofficial factions.
Also through FLStat here list of NPC Freelancers bases to get some idea where it would be easiest to get RP in placing your own base.
Placing could be also in any other different system, some advices for that to happen, people above already suggested. Some diplomacy is required for that.
P.S> If the problem in other people getting asylum at your base, then perhaps making passworded tag for your group and restricting base to accepting only them could solve the problem, as long as diplomacy has been made in agreeing to this solution and allowing for people with mentioned tag to fly freely.
