well cant it be expected for kusari authorities to think for themselves, with all due respect?

But in this case it just seems so ridiculous, really - even more so that KNF/KSP haven't done a thing about it (they actually defend the base - or at least they did last time I was there pewing at it).

Kusari and Rheinland have very good relations with each other while there are RP issues between Rheinland and Interspace Commerce. Thus many Rheinland ships are red to IC the same as IC is red to most of Rheinland. THere is an IC base outside planet New Tokyo that shoots at the Rheinland ships going past it. Likewise the same for Rheinland ships passing planet New London thanks to Waterloo station, another IC base.

The point being here that some bases are red to players of particular factions. They can fix the reputation usually but in some cases they cannot due to rephacks. I don't see anyone from Rheinland complaining to the Kusari or Bretonian governments about IC bases shooting them. Main reason why is they recognize the RP and rephacks and try to avoid beng in range of the guns of those bases.

Why should it be different just because a base in the same situation is player owned? If it is, then I suppose Samura could petition King's Cross not to shoot at their ships on the way to Rheinland after dropping off supplies at Exile bases, but we all know that's not going to happen. Likewise, if I remember correctly there was a dispute about an LSF base not allowing LN ID'd ships past their base blockading a jump gate. I believe that was settled via role play with each other.

What we have here is a situation faced by many players every single day with both player owned and long existing NPC bases. The only difference in this case is one individual who refuses to role play for his solution.
