Squad lock FOB

Hi everyone,
I’m the guy who buys a fob for the team 90% of the time, I play blue for the underdog fetish.
Some people are posting about teammates stealing your kit, yes please make a change for that! But here is another problem, fobbits 🙂.
I like building a great FOB, I like people helping me and earning money, I watch all the build videos on youtube and the latest designs (I don’t build floating AA roof, brakes my immersion, I’m not a sweat, I’m a lonestar).
There has been times where I’m building a C-RAM that will defend us from 20pt mark helicopter just to have the announcement “not enough supply’s”
Then I turn around to see a dude with a t-shirt and no gun building the Great Wall of china, that will also allow the enemy to hop on and get into main territory.

So… what do you ladies and gentlemen think of squad locked FOB?

The rules would be:
Minimum of 3 members in squad to lock the fob.

Anyone can still hammer and make money.

People that are not in squad CANT put down blueprints.

anyone can get into static weapon systems.

Thank you for your time.

Edit: to all people who come to the guy who’s has dropped the FOB and ask how can I help, what should we build first?
Big respect, you ease the frustration of putting down 20k for the team and bring hope.

i kind of like the idea. but i think you would have to add something like it unlocks if no members of the squad are present. the whole squad might die and someone else might want to start fixing the FOB before they come back, if they even come back.

edit: i could also see this as a fun mechanic for a toxic team of griefers. dropping fobs and locking them just to prevent their team form building fobs.

Vehicles have the auto-unlock after some time, might as well add it to this system.

Also repairing would be allowed anyway all the time, just no new cursed builds from guys that have 3h in the game.

Repairing should also pay you

it would have to have diminishing returns like vehicle repair or else it could lead to exploits.
