Will fighting a base keep use from using calming amps and halcyon traps?

my question exactly!

It shouldn't. The previous version of the halcyon had no effect vs. NPC or Base Combat

Let's hope so. I mean, if it does then there's no point holding in my cargo bay.

If your truced you should not be able to engage in pvp or use a halc/CA if you've done a base in 24hrs, since base attacks are pvp its only fair.

You PvP, get badges, leave yourself open to pvp for 24hrs, get to join in base hits. SINCE YOU NEED TO PVP TO GET THE BADGES IN THE FIRST PLACE.

You don't PvP, don't get badges, get to hide and be safe, cannot join a base attack if truced, if not truced and join base attack you can no longer be truced for 24hours.

If its anything other then this then this update was just aimed at a select few who have 100s of badges stocked up, no longer need to pvp for any but can still enjoy the comforts of taking someone elses base offline.

I don't know what you're talking about...I find this update fabulous, and I have no reds to speak of; that and I have the silver badge artifacts, there's no point whatsoever of getting the last +5% base attack module if there's nothing else I want to buy with silvers, so I'll sit back, sell my KV traps, and have a H trap set up constantly while I do my missions and NPC hunting in peace, the ONLY time I'll break that is when there's a planet that's simply to good not to invade, and defending my own planet from invasion.

I see your point but I still would like to be able to hit a base and keep my halc I sometimes pvp but not often only to keep my battle rep fairly good would be nice to be able to pvp and then after 24 hours go back to using halc without having to stay open to attack
during base attacks after all my legions base is still open to attack even if I am not
Guess we will see what Dan did soon enough lol

Then you completely missed the point of my post.

Base's = PvP = No Halc or CA

Halc traps never affected base combat to begin with, why should they now? As far as I know, it's offensive actions toward other ships (player controlled), so I don't see bases affecting halc trap use.

I was never asking if you think they should , I wanted to know from someone that hasn't done PVP but has done bases , or maybe DAN.

If you want to complain and argue please make you own post and do it there.

Wolf Prince-attacking npc's and bases will not strip you of a calmer or halc trap- i am certain

actually attacking a planet will not either- but using an agressive artifact or invading will

attacking (one click) a player will not- disabling , raiding or hacking or using an offensive artifact will

Hope this clarifies- there has been a lot of uninformed chatter on new changes

You've just given me a goal
