The problem with off-line characters being present in the base is what happens if the base is raided (by players or possibly PvE, who knows)? Do you really want to come back on and find out your hero was defeated while you were away?
Servants on the other hand is an interesting idea.

Good point however easily solvable. Give each player the option at logout to either be there or not. That way if the risk of coming back defeated is all his.
Already we see characters standing around AFK, esppecially at trains, but few complain much when the come back to find themselves defeated, cause they didn't factor in the ambush which appeared past the drones or the guy running to the exit/train/mission was being followed by 20 something villians. even Police drones cant instantly defeat that many before damage is done.
As a choice, I could allow myself to be in the position of possible defeat or I could decide i dont want to risk it at all.
