You don't actually have to engage in Base Raiding if you don't wish to, while you can add the elements regardless.
At least for Redside, if you can/do complete the Cathedral of Pain Trial for an Item of Power, you MUST allow your SG to be raided once per somthing. (Think
its a week or 2 ) And if no one is there to defend, well, tough shit. If you can't access/complete the Trial, you can still raid other bases for an Item,
but can not be raided yourself until you aquire an Item. This is all learned from reading info from the SG computer in the Infamous base 'Configure base
teleporter for Cathedral of Pain Trial'.
They removed the Cathedral of Pain Trial, early after i7, when Bases, CoV, and Base raiding was introduced, though. There was a bug in the trial wherein you
could receive XP bonus for doing a Fedex mission, and not complete it, thus free ride to level 50. I have no idea if there are any plans even considered to fix
and re-implement it, though, so for now at least, I think we are safe from it.
