Base PvP (raiding) becomes available at level 15 and allows players to attack enemy bases (or have their own bases attacked if they don't have an active peace shield).
For cracking/ breaking enemy bases (destroying docked ships, shields, and defense platforms), it's best to consider the power
of the ship divided by its repair cost.
Cracking a base can take 100 hits or more to open it up for raiding completely, so choose wisely when selecting your ship.
A ship that can do comparable damage with a lower repair cost may be more efficient.

Other factors to consider:
- Fleet Commander Sloan's Quick Draw Raiding Ability (on duty, selectable) - Reduces the number of rounds needed to charge weapons when attacking a station if your weapon fire is delayed due to an
enemy player's ability (as an attacker) - Fleet Commander Lorca's Deadly Station Reload Ability (on duty) - Lowers your Weapons’ Warmup Time during Station Defense if they have been increased by another effect (as a defender)
- Prime Station Delay (Combat Tree research) - delay opponent ship and defense platform weapon fire for the number of rounds (as an attacker)
Note: There are also numerous research that greatly affects the capability in base raids (either as a defender or an attacker) which players can take advantage of
