oh yes, you can!
because any faction can do ops to recover the module from you and you lose your precious "i win" bonus. so this could break the "rich getting richer" problem we have now. the underdog could just storm in, collect the modules from the overlords of the continent and then protect the base they store it in, giving them a little help against the overpowered.

look at modules in ps1. they gave out really meaningful and big advantages, but if you got lazy on your defence, they could easily change ownership. (unless bunkered in a shielded capital city)

it´s all about an incentive to do more than the usual "kill everybody and get certs" and it´s a great way for smaller outfits to proof their value for the faction! right now you can´t do anything of great matter as a smaller group. better roll with the zerg, or find another small group for a little skirmish, but nothing of value for the war.
