Totally unhelpful, completely uneeded. This is a Kusari house system, a core system of that house as well. He is a lawful in the capital of Kusari and while space is indeed dangerous no one deserves to be blown up upon undocking from the capital planet of any house. If you've nothing useful to say, do not speak.

I do not mean this is an insulting manner so forgive me if I come across as such but; did you read the original post clearly? He's not been playing an aweful lot and he's just decided to play again. This implies the base was built recently. I personally remember a base outside New Tokyo from at least a month ago, could be a differant base though.
To address the issue at hand however I agree with the original poster, its a load of rubbish. You should not be able to build player bases near jump gates, inhabitted planets or even near actual stations. Jump holes are only just okay to me because of how pirate and border/edge world factions sometimes need to control their territory but otherwise its just silly. I'm going to say that I personally felt they were a bad idea to add on the most part. They definately serve a great purpose for the aforementioned border/edge world factions and they certainly are a neat little thing to have but the fact is anyone can go build one, stock it up and then you've got a fairly difficult to remove installation somewhere fairly obstructive. Should've been handled via some sort of minor SRP autharisation system to properly assess people's abilities in roleplaying the bases as well as actually not causing issues such as these. Then again I do have some fairly restrictive views on all of the 'end game' content (capital ships, cloaking devices, jump drives). Its just one of many issues that I can forsee continuing to ware down at Discovey's playerbase (unintentional pun) and its quality of roleplay in favour of game mechanics such as this being publically usable and exploitable.
Anyway, that is just my opinion on the matter. I sincerely hope the original poster finds his way out of New Tokyo safely and that the base is handled properly regardless of what gets done about the subject itself.
