Base Ownership: Is it such a big deal?

[Veteran]

Here I go poll-whoring again. Couldn't resist. Anyhow...

Is Outfit Base Ownership really such a big deal? From what I understand, an outfit can get their logo on a base by jumping through some hoops, but also I've heard that after a time of inactivity, the base will revert back to 'unowned'.

I've heard some valid arguments that TKing will be more common as outfits compete for the same bases, and I could certainly see that happening, but isn't it true that if all members of an outfit can spawn at the same base consistently, there will be more organization?

Also, doesn't it seem natural to assume that people will try to 'claim' the Interlink Facilities, Dropship Centers and Tech Plants first? Bio Labs and Amp Stations just don't seem nearly as cool to 'own'.

I'll make this a multiple-choice poll, so click all that apply before hitting the Vote button.

The people who choose those bases will have to have them on there home conts and be ready to defend them constatly. Besides there would be a lot of TKing the first couple of days untill they all relise that either the leader of the outfit or one of the top 4 members have to clam the base for the outfit.

and you have to be CR5

[STEALTHKILLER]

okay let me think real quick. this is how a outfit clams a base. You have to be the leader, or one of the top 4 ranked, or cr5

[Slice]

you have to be one of top 4 ranks (including leader) AND you have to be cr5

[STEALTHKILLER]

then my outfit aint getting a base we dont even have a cr5.

Are you sure about that? Could of sworn devs said one base per outfit.

But anyways I like the idea of base ownership. I like the idea of people actually defending bases now.

I also heard rumors that once you take a base you can upgrade your defences. EG. Improve turrets. Don't quote me on that though. I heard it somewhere.

I'm indifferent on it really, as long as I can still spawn, get my shit, and get a ride. I don't care.

[NoSurrender]

i didnt mean we could have 3 i meant we have 3 Cr5s ph34r us. and We got like 3 cr4s and me the cr3

Yes and I want to get my outfit a tech plant

[Veteran]

Since Tech Plants are linked to sanctuaries, I see them as being claimed first. After all, if you're going to put your reputation on a base and load it up with six modules, you're sure as hell going to want it to be as easily defensible as possible. What could provide better defense than your empire goons streaming through a sanc warpgate to defend your base?

We'll see I guess.
