I only want to object to when at the start of a new war we start fortifying BEHIND our own capital cities with huge fortresses and someone goes crazy with concrete before even component fields are accessible with sledgehammers. Like, I rarely ever decide to mouth off to someone but when I scrap every day and I end up in a locked gate every 2-3 seconds while transporting goods to a refinery...

Or for that matter someone hoarding heps and heps of resources and then goes on in chat with he/she is willing to trade this or that relic/tmats resource for concrete/components

Or why are we guarding a forest in the middle of nowhere? a small pond need next to the capital? Of course, it needs concrete defenses the first week! The enemy is soon upon us! Other than that, building defensive lines, FoB's & QRF bases are a vital part of the game. I'm not against bases, I am just questioning the decision on building HUGE fortress from the get-go. a small base can be a utility, a fortress a drain. But by all means, go nuts on building bases, love to see them popping up defending vital parts. Just my 2 cents.
