Hello Cryptic!
I think that you should give the STO fleets SB and they should be in different types and upgradeable.
For example a Fleet should start out with an outpost. then lets say something like a sciance staion. Then something like K7 and then somethin like SB 24 and finally something like Starbase 001.
I would like each SB to be very expensive and with the last type of star base possiballty being the the hundereds of millions ec (energy crid) the reasone being is I want whatever Fleet that gets them to have a VERY REAL sense of accomplishment. Hopefully this would encourge teamwork.
I would also want to be able to attack the bases also!

That would be fun!

The real trick is embedding meaning in having a station. Just having one is not enough. There will have to be a real game play "meaning" behind the ability to have a base or colony. That meaning will have to be beyond the current combat-captain form of game play. If it is not, fleets having bases will have no adhesive qualities for the average or general player. The super group basses from CoX as a model just won't cut it. Cryptic needs to start thinking outside their gun-and-run play type box. Staying inside it will hurt them in the long-run.
I honestly hated the SG bases in CoX, and to a point i kinda hope they dont do player starbases because of that. What exactly are they going to do with them? Invade them? Given side imbalances I feel sorry for the first klingon to put up a base..
Social hub.
Fleet Vendors
Pvp/Explore vendors
Fleet Exchange
A fleet message board
Holosuit for 'training' (weapons testing ect)
The only problem I see is if they make them attackable, I mean Starfleet isnt going to attack one of its own starbases except as a 'drill' (from which nothing is gained) but FvK starbase would be nice, however as pointed out side imbalances would practicly kill off the first Klingon base..
Paneth, I like your suggestions, but you can't put too many things like vendors in fleet bases, other wise they take away from the open social areas like SB 01 or DS9. Really, a fleet base should unlock a few special fleet things, like fleet PvP or special 5 man fleet missions accessible only from a fleet base. A holodeck would be nice, but making holodecks fleet only would leave a lot of solo players out in the cold.
Another thing that would be nice is tying the transwarp "network" to fleet bases. Right now, we can only transwarp to Sol. But if each base had a few transwarp gates outside it, one to DS9, one to K7, etc., that would be a huge incentive to get a base and upgrade it.
Actually, there has been responses to flagged PvP zones and RvR.
What does "a response" mean? Please back up your vague inferences with a statement of intended meaning. The forums are about conversing.
