I for one did not see any kind of counter going anywhere, but I could've missed it and can't check atm.
So yeah, I'll hold judgement till I have a proper grasp on what the fuck we exactly have to do to cap a base, start to finish.

I know it's base defence, not base capture (that's why it says "base defended" above), but I don't see why the mechanics would be different for the two? Also, there was a long discussion a few weeks back about base capture mechanics. This was the first time any of us have seen it in action.
The counters are the horizontal bars for each empire in the bottom left of the screen. Or did you mean a "counter-attack"? The NC hack one of the control points back to blue within seconds of the "Base defended" signal. And by the time TB leaves the base about 7-8 mins later, it still hadn't been recapped. The counter going back to zero was something I hadn't considered earlier, and I believe was not considered in the earlier discussions of capture mechanics. (Malorn, where are you when we need you!)

And yes, I know this is fapping over alpha. Does anyone have a better suggestion on what to discuss on the main planetside 2 discussion site? There may have been a couple of other discussions of alpha-related gameplay going on over the last couple of days. At least I didn't make a poll about it
