PVP Bases Vulnerability

Any ideas how the vulnerability of the PVP bases works ?

I placed some in Drei at 4pm on Monday and it looks like they were taken at around 6 am GTM on Wed's. I was not up now will I ever be up at 6 am to defend them lol.

I believe its vulnerable for 2 hours after you place them then again every 48 hours after you had placed them. Unless you reset the times.

I logged in at around 5pm central time yesterday and they were gone.

3hrs after you place them, then 3 hrs every 48 unless reset. The owner of the base should be able to change the reset time once the initial 3hr period is complete. Also, you cant change the vuln time 1hr before it goes vulnerable. Same with defenses. Once it goes vuln you cant add defenses, ie turrets/mines/troops.

well somethings not working correctly then. we did not change the timers. so they should not have been vulnerable in the early am when they were placed in the early pm ?

Well apparently its Cu times of 3 hours.

for us to really determine whats up, i need to know when "Early am" is and "Early pm" is.
From our conversations in your vent i was under the impression they were vulnerable around mid day American times 12noon to 3 pm eastern standard time.

Times are in the OP. But we dropped them at around 4pm gmt on Monday and Ace and his team were taking them down at 6 am ish on Wednesday morning So about 12hour early as far as I can tell from what has been said.

Only things I could think of would be that either the server restart times screwed up the timers or another person with enough rank came in and changed the time.

So any high ranking Player (with the right faction) can change it or just the person that placed it ? Be good if one of the CSR could let us know how its meant to work.

I want to say only the person who droped it. But I also remember base owners being able to pick the bases up after dropping them. Maybe this was changed in a patch that I don't remember. But when I look at friendly base terms, I don't get a menu for that.

Looking at this now.

From what I am seeing bases are Vulnerable for 3 hours every 48 hours from when they are placed. Only the owner can reset the timer, just tested that.

Now onto what bugs them, still looking into the cause. But my first guess is going to be the 2.5hr reset. Will keep digging.

Edit: Unable to reproduce this "bug" if you have information please leave it here.

I found the Email from the Structure Builder Mon 28th 16:33 GMT SF Detatchment HQ. On NiEut
Also Placed a Field Hospital and a Forward outpost at 19:19 and a further Forward outpost @ 21:11 On my Character Dot.

I was on when the bases were going down and it was around 8:30pm-9pm Eastern when I went to check on them and they were almost finished with the last bases. That'll put it between 1:30-2am GMT. Not sure when exactly they started but I'm sure it wasn't too much before that time. They had a couple jedi and about 4 other toons out there and no opposition. Bases should not have been vulnerable at that time. Those bases went vulnerable almost full 12 hrs before they were supposed to.

I don't know it seem a bit to easy just being able to reset the timer or what so ever... especially if want some kind of spontane PvP going... also should not be able to be redeeded for then putting it well maybe briefly once placed it the first time for a correct location and more, do not get me wrong in this... but it is kind of cheesing it... also it would keep one in mind when placing the base so would be able to active defending it if in need be.
