The new incentive for defense is rather silly. I plan on taking a rather defensive role--at least part time--with my combat engineer/medium assault character (Alai on the server formerly known as citrine) but in order to get the bonus xp we have to mess up and let the attackers actually hack the console
. I don't have a better solution really, since how else can one tell a base is under attack? Yet, it just seems a bit wierd that you have to let the attackers break through, and then re-cap a base.
