Well I don't think bans are justified if people make additional stations inside their own home galaxy, if they have no turrets on them, and act only to give more creative build possibilities. I think at least a warning from the admin beforehand to not overuse it would be neccessary.
Most people are only pvping like 10% of their time on server, and the rest of the time is mostly building, minining and lurking. It's not like most of the playtime on servers is dedicated towards pvp, most of it is dedicated to non-pvp stuff. So I can't really understand being too strikt additional hb-bases, as the players - even on the biggest server like Brierie, Freaks or LvD - are not pvping more than 20% of their online time. The rest of it is building, mining and lurking. Starmade is more about building and other non pvp related stuff anyway when I look at an average day on Starmade either when I monitor servers or when I read what people tell they do here in the thread. Why then be so crazily hardcore for pvp rules, when the people are in Starmade for non-pvp related stuff like building anyway?
I think if you make an exception for alt-account infiltrators, you should also make an exception for alt-account creative builders.
I think it's kinda unfair to directly ban someone for using one possibility that an alt account gives, and other actions with alt-accounts are not even punished. Either you define the whole usage of alt-accounts as forbidden (for example you say alt-account usage is exploiting), or you don't. Not banning for alt-infiltration, and directly swinging the ban hammer on alt-homebases without agressive purposes is a bit arbitrary.
I mean those alt-hbs in my own system are not even having any impact on the pvp as long as I don't place a turret on them. Who in the world cares if I deposit my backup ressources and fleet in the void, or in my own galaxy? Either way I am not using them in 90% of the time!
But if there are more cool stations with interesting builds in my own galaxy, this would make a positive difference. It would encourage people to travel around. But I can't make more rp-related stations if they are not protected with hb-protection and because Starmade still sux in this way. We have to agree on ways around the games limitations and learn to adapt to the alpha instead of thinking in black and white.
