Base Suggestions and the Rikti Invasion

Since our bases have no real defensive purposes since raids are offline and/or being redesigned, I thought of a fun idea that would keep sg members interest in base raiding.

Allow the Rikti Invasions to include some SG Bases. No special coding, just when a raid triggers those bases that qualify are included in the random selection.

How it would work:

** First, the base has to have all the same requirements that a pvp raid must have. Like 6 Dimensional Anchors, a Vault Room, a Mission Computer, and a Raid Telepad. This way sg's have to meet the same requirements as base raiding and the base obviously would then be a substantial size, large enough to allow a raid or an invasion.

** Even if a sg base meets all the requirements above, allow sg's to "enable" this feature (with the Mission Computer?) rather than by default having sg's have to deal with it.

** Rikti don't need any special coding to play like base raiders, just allow them to teleport in like any other zone and start destroying the destroyable items and any players they find inside.

** The only unique bit of coding I can see is that the sg needs a base invasion warning message to be displayed followed by a unique sound, so they can all respond. I'd also think its a good idea that Coalition members see the same message since they also have access to your base, they can respond as well and lend a hand.

** Allow anything destroyed to auto heal itself within 15-30 minutes after an invasion, even without base items that repair. That way even if the invasion took place at 3am, or if no one bothered to respond, no one would even know it happened after the repair period.

Benefits:

Mostly, it gives us random fun events to do with our sg bases. It would also be excellent practice building a base with defensive items and getting members some interest and practice with base raids.

Any thoughts?

I think that's a really good idea. The rikti seem very under-used lately, and so do the bases, and I'm sure the devs could come up with a great story to go with it.

My only suggestion is that if they did do it, that later in time they'd get different groups to be able to raid your base (e.g. Hellions, Skulls, Council, etc..). Or maybe the more you kill guys from that enemy group, the more of a chance there would be for them to attack, kind of like they're getting revenge.

As I said that would have to be later on, because things have to build up.

If they can find a way to do raids without destroying things in my base in a way that costs to repair, I'd give a conditional "okay, maybe".

Otherwise it's a firm "hell no".

It should be under the fun section, dunno why...
