You miss my point. A lot of bases are pretty defenseless already. Adding this is just makes it harder for them.
there was an earlier proposal to lower the damage cap for some level bases...
Your argument is invalid:
-Those who battle level 6s, and level 7s, will tell you that doing so requires a lot of energy, time, and resources. It's not a light task.
-Those level 6 and level 7 bases will tell you that they can defend from such attacks. For a period of time. When properly defended a maxed level 6 (with 10 fixers, also assuming no exo-clamps are used but all ability points are optimized) takes 30,100 hits (over 150k energy) to take down (and that's just the hull). Divided by 10 people capping each hit (which would be unlikely) each doing an average of 3 attacks per second, that level 6 would be taken down in about 17 minutes. And to cap on a maxed level 6 requires a really high attack. And to prove that you would need an attack higher than 200k:
Code:
Damage per shot = tanh( attack*(random(0.6 to 1.666)) / (defense * 5) ) * damagecap
And to those legions with level 6 bases that get disabled very easily they can lock and disable 3 level 3 bases per day. Maximizing their gains and putting all their silvers into exo clamps within 4 weeks they can gain 14,700 shields and 22,050 hull for a combined total of 36,750 extra durability (or 61 extra hits, which would be 2 extra seconds at the attacking rate i described above)
Please tell me more about how this will make it harder for bases to defend when basic fundamentals can be used to improve their bases.
