Make Raiding Difficult

As of right now, raiding is a joke! It's usually done offline and is extremely easy. All people need to do is contact a weaponsmith to get a nykorev then go shoot. ALso being able to buy as much ammo as you like really makes no base even close to unraidable. Making this even worse, I find it very rare that police or swat ever get involved, leaving the loot for the taking. I have thought of two options that could fix this:
1. Raise the price of the nykorev and nykorev ammo boxes to something very high like 4-5k, making it a very rare item and useful item.
2. Have some sort of system where players cannot raid a base unless the confirmed owner is online. Maybe adding a command that would make the raiders state the location of the base and have the raiders confirm. Now I know, this seems like a bit much, but as of right now, there is no base that is really that difficult to raid unlike vanilla Unturned where a nykorev or any raiding materials are a very rare and significant find. Having owners be able to defend is very important, I know that the player might be overwhelmed by a party of raiders, but its their base they're defending, and they have a respawn point. I myself have defended against a 2v6(essentially 1v5 because my teammate could only take out one). Lets make raiding actually difficult!

Or make a raider role and they are the only ones allowed to raid and cant do anything else, this would cut down on raiding because you honestly cant have a base for more than 2 days. . .
Thats a nice idea as well.

"1. Raise the price of the nykorev and nykorev ammo boxes to something very high like 4-5k" ... That would be terrible for a ammunition box? Phf may well buy a Hell's Fury then, maybe 500-1k per box imo and the nykorev and Dragonfang price to 4-5k maybe but not the ammunition box.
2. Disabling offline raiding? Horrible :/ Because they everyone would just make 1x1x1 houses as a vault out of wood, or a 3x3x3 metal would do if you didn't realize you was being raiding for about a minute
I don't mind this idea but Just... not overboard, but lets be honest here, Noticed how many Regular Normal players raid daily? Meh about 0, Know how many Donators raid? Meh about 20, Changing the price doesn't matter to them with 300k in their pockets, like tbh Making this post will just make them stock up on boxes before it changes if they are a small donator with little perk cash lol.
Edit; I wanna make Raiding as hard as possible so that I can have a gunstore for atleast over a single hour after being offline, but they are increasing armor on buildings I hear which is good but I think buildings health should be double with every single group member offline of that structure.

I didn't say 4-5k for the ammunition boxes, I only said the price for the nykorev. It'd be up to the owners how much they change. Maybe ammunition for Nykorevs can't be bought even so they would have to farm their way up because currently even large metal bases can't last a couple days, which is not ok.

As for the no offline raiding thing, that base would be absolutely destroyed in moments, and very difficult to raid. I've seen a solo raider take out like 5 people by simpling adsing a corner with a shotgun, and I've done a 1v4 defense then got by some other guy the moment I logged off(the base took hours of farming metal btw). I just think raiding should be more like Vanilla Unturned, actually difficult... Not just finding a base with no owner on and shooting til you run out of nykorev rounds so you buy more...

To be honest, it actually is extremely easy for donators to raid a base once they have a high caliber gun due to the fact that we can buy ammo.

Currently no matter what the prices for raiding supplies are, there are always those rich people who will pay over 50K to piss someone off. Example: My friend argued with coaxed you into snafu on 10 at our man made military base and snafu came back with 6 rocket launchers and wiped it all. He used 6 vaulted rocket launchers to wipe a 300K building that had no loot in an offline raid.
