For the name, could we at least have one yearly free rename? if anyone wants more, I would understand paying for that.
Thanks!

A copy of the Bases File is taken, modified with the new location, then the existing Base is destroyed and the modified File is placed in the Base File.
So effectively the Ships are moved with the Base.

Practical: No, the ships seem to be in the base at first, but after docking out they are close to the old position.

This is frankly one of the most over-dramatic comparisons I've ever seen someone make to a Discovery staff team. It's 500 million credits, not twenty US dollars.
Fees for extraordinary (noun meaning "very unusual or remarkable", literally "outside of the ordinary") requests are in credits. This has always been the case as far back as the days of requesting to buy a system circa 2007 or so. SRPs have a fee in credits. Unique ships have a fee in credits. Official faction requests have a (refundable) fee in credits. It's money sink in some cases, but it's a commitment check in all of them.

Is this another cash requirement for an audience, or is it payment for services?
Are the GMs taking the money based on the amount of work they need to do, to move the PoB or change the name?
Do you need to add a cash requirement?
Can it work without one?
Base name changes, up to now have been free (they could be requested once every 6 months).
It is a Team decision to put a price on the required changes and, I suppose, it makes people stop and think before doing something.
The work for any of the 3 changes takes roughly the same time.

The cost is hilariously high but i think the availability of this feature shows a great flexability from the current Game masters, Well done
I have a question tho, Can add to the requirements of changing the IFF, Location or Base name the following point?
"Mention your ooRP reasons for this change in a paragraph or 2 lines or whatever suitable
"

Interesting.
And where do you make this request?
Do you have a form parameter to change the affiliation?
