I'd like to see base raids count as an offensive action that removes halcyon traps. Same sort of idea as attacking planets. You can help take down the pop but if you invade you lose your halc. For bases you can help kill but if you raid you lose your halc. Would open up pvp a lot more.

-1 to this idea

Better yet, remove halcyon traps when attacking planets/bases.

As much as I'm an advocate of not changing the halcyon trap for any reason regarding PvP, I find it stupid that attacking a player(not that damaging tbh)is apparently worse than stealing a planet or disabling a base (both far more damaging in terms of production)

Stealing a planet does bring your actions up 1

what if it was 100!?

invasion does, attack does not. Not entirely sure about artifact and abilities.

Anyway, I would consider changing a flat 24 hours rule on halc to depend on the offense a bit. The current ones don't need changing, but minor stuff currently not included like base battle and planet attacks can be 2-8 hours.

If I do half a disable it shouldn't count against me, actions go up for being successful, failure doesn't need acknowledgement

You can attack players whilst you are under the halcyon trap, however if you disable them, raid, hack or use any offensive artifacts against them, for example emp. Then they lose the halcyon trap, but again who attacks a player to not disable them?

However in terms of raiding or attacking bases or attacking planets I have to say -1. I can only see negative outcomes for this, and all I see is another player crying about halcyon's and begging them to be removed from players.

I've always thought that was kind of funny you can mess with other people's bases/planet populations without consequence, too. I mean, you're either pacified or not, right?

Now, I don't think depopping a planet or hitting a base should break your ability to halc, but if there was a way for it to deactivate your halc every time you do it (so your only options are to continually reset or stop if you want PVP safety), I'd be all for it. I mean, unless hitting other people's bases and planets isn't an offensive action.

No no no. -10000 on this. Horrible idea.

Yeah, personally I don't think PvP and Base conflict should interact in this way.
I just don't think base attacks should count as an offensive action for PvP.

Having said that, I'm not sure why attacking (but not attempting to invade) a planet doesn't count, but I see that as a separate issue to base combat.

Same goes for pvp though I can attack you all I want as long as I don't disable hack or raid you my halc will remain in tact.

Yeah, great point Fireblade, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me either.

I'm going to clarify this.

If you set a halcyon trap and attack an enemy ship then you do not lose the halcyon trap. If you disable an enemy ship then a set halcyon trap disappears.

If you are under a Halcyon Aura, however, you cannot even attack enemy ships or planets. The only way, I am aware of, to remove the halcyon aura (Or the truce produced by a calming amplifier) is to use offensive artifacts on an enemy planet.

Back to the OP, I support that you should not be able to set a halcyon trap if you have attacked a planet in the past 24 hours, however I am unsure about how I feel in regards to hitting bases. Planets are a lot more personal.

You can hack while you're pacified and it will remove the effects
