not that i absolutely agree with the original statement as it was made, i believe, in an air of complaint and not as a question of observations of others.
but i have noticed that when i was flying as a bish the other day and fighting near a knight base the ack was not hitting me as quickly as normal. normally when i am dragged near a base within a couple of seconds i am torn up by the ack, (too dumb to notice the danger then to stubborn to break away) but near this knight base i was only pinged a couple of times and not damaged. it was that way for more than just one pass within the range of the guns and that is why i recall it. it was unusual.
now i will say that i have no idea how many of the guns were still operational, hell the base could have been down to only 1 gun across the base from me, i don't know. i just remember being surprised that it didn't manage to cause me any grief.
as far as other bases go i couldn't say, it was Tuesday afternoon in the titantic Tuesday arena. i don't remember which base i was at, just that it was knight.
so take it for what its worth, not much.
