[Suggestion] Incentives for base defense?

    Other than the feel good factor of denying the enemy your base when are we going to see some xp/cert incentives for defending bases? I'm not saying that the amount awarded should match that of capturing a facility but when the big flashig faction logo pops up and says base defended I'd like some compensation. Perhaps 2/3 or 1/2 of the capture experience awarded when the base is defended? This would lead to more coordinated efforts by units to attack facilities and stop ghost capping by lone wolves. Thoughts? Comments? Concerns?

    Well, the bonus experience is already there. It's just really hard to utilize it with the poorly designed bases. I would like to see a bonus for retaking a facility on the verge of losing it, though. You're practically on the attack at that point, so you should get rewarded as the attackers would.

    They used to but changed it because you would get rewarded for the same for stopping ghost caps as you do for stopping massive attacks. This way, you get much more experience with the current system.. Just over time and not in a chunk.
