just read voomys rules

add Sodomy ~2-4 times to that

I still don't get it.

After reading all the posts i personally think the 25 + 5 is the best way to go. Now for the solution to 'Fake Enemies': Im not to familiar with coding myself so i do not know how hard this would be but maybe code it so that every Kit laid from another team in an owned system becomes auto aggro to all bases regardless of PvP range (Note: the PvP range is only ignored in direct BvB, the bases should not open fire on a ship out of range). To add to that, as im sure players will just lay kits 10k5 out, maybe eliminate hard cap on base range? With some thought and good planning an attacking team can lay a kit and have it able to withstand some hits before it ever really gets hit.


In Short : Team A owns Galaxy XZ, Team B wants galaxy XZ. Team B lays a base kit in XZ and ALL bases from team A open fire.

So there's a similar but different idea to the assault bases that we've been wanting to implement for a long time now, but haven't had the chance. I guess I'll tell it here, because maybe it's the solution to this issue. Originally, it didn't concern base slots, but the assault base idea has inspired me to add base slots to the old idea.

Assault Drones

Every team HQ can build an assault drone in the HQ if there is currently no assault drone possessed by any team member or base, or being built, or deployed. A team can only have one assault drone at a time either in possession or deployed, and the team must have at least a certain score, like 200 or 250 to build assault drones.

Assault drones don't take any slots and can be deployed in any galaxy. Once deployed, an assault drone is invincible for 24 hours and adds a team message to the team that dropped it and any team that has bases in the galaxy where the drone is deployed that contains the name of the galaxy and the time when the drone goes active.

There are two type of assault drones.

1) Base Suppression Drone. Upon activation, has a lifespan of 90 minutes and has a field generator that gives all enemy bases -90% damage and -90% shield regen.

2) Assault Command Drone. Upon activation, has a lifespan of 4 hours and grants the owning team 10 base slots in that galaxy. Upon the end of this drone, if there are more bases than the galaxy can support, the newest ones are destroyed until the limit is reached.

So the idea here is you are basically calling out another team to fight you in 24 hours when you deploy one of these drones. You can either do the suppression drone to get some PvP and PvB action going, or do the command drone to get some BvB action going even if the galaxies slots are full. Since it takes 24 hours to activate, you can obviously only do this about once per 24 hours.

A team can only have one assault drone at a time either in possession or deployed, and the team must have at least a certain score, like 200 or 250 to build assault drones.

I'm pretty sure that anything we try to do along the lines of "the owners can have X slots, and other people/their enemies can have Y slots" won't work, because people will just make alts or fake enemies and fill up all the slots anyway.
