I've got idea about such bases for player factions, which consits of very few (like 2, 3 or even single player), that are size of San Diego (or even smaller), are very weak (think of hull like in a battlecruiser) BUT there would be no weaponry and would be limited to selling/buying one item only. Additionally, it wouldn't need much effort and would be able to be supplied (in extreme situations) three times a week.
In short, think of something akin to the today's satelites.
Core 0 Base
1) Cheap costs and maintenance..
1b) Can be supplied just twice or three times a week.
2) No defense weaponry.
2b) Preferably built around House Planets.
3) Can produce/sell/buy up to 1 or 2 items.
3b) Has small cargo capability, like, 12 000 or slightly more.
4) No-RP destruction rule would be void.
4b) BUT in case of breaking law - sanctioned by authorities.
4c) Destruction would be imminent, as sanction does not conclude anything.
5) Could be also parts/wings/sections of the other bases and POB.
6) Such station would die in 1-2 weeks after lack of activity.
Sounds good,same way i imagined POB should be like..
The Core 0s would be very small in fact (remember how small is Ohashi?) and in fact it would be directed to the two-three player factions mainly. I'd even thought about idea "bring one item, have another in return and go back."
Anyone who has seen 10 OC dreads trying to besiege Hoover knows that even capital planets are not a safe place for POBs. Add that to the fact that you are suggesting them to be exempt from the RP rule and you have a perfect recepe for griefing.

Ah no, my idea is about introducing the small bases alike San Diego, which don't need to be resupplied very often, are weak and defenceless, but still valid to the RP as non-destructable unless it breaks law or has no license.

That's why I said it can do only one thing at the moment, buying one commodity per base and selling as a such. This of it rather like small independent businesses. Think of it like settling one small house than can be replaced in case of the tragedy.
Exempt from the rule is rather for not killing it just out of boredom by a lolwhut player or player who just don't like the base, mind you - but will still have a relatively LOW HP for a base, mind it.
This does not work too well, because destroying a base has no consequences as it is.
I've seen an LNS open fire on the Helium Storage facility in Penny, when it was running out of resources once in an attempt to kill it for the lulz.
If there is an easy to kill object in space, which has no reprecussions to shoot and is not against the server rules to shoot, it will be shot.
Instantly.
