I just noticed that 1.8 is going to have Distructible Bases (D.B.) and from what i see, if a player is on a base when it explodes the server crashes (and i don't know if it respawns either), but after thinking, i just noticed a way to add a base.
If you make a hidden add on to about every base (do this while there's not alot of bases in development or there'll be trouble) and it's the real docking port, then there may be a chance... but i never figured out the code yet because you're going to have to make a big range since it's going to have to be a second base and having to figure out the docking cutscene, just think to see if this'll work
PS: This mod is the closest thing to Freelancer 2 Since the Void
PSS: noob like question: HOW DO YOU GET ACCSESS TO THE 1.8 BOARD
