There are a few options for the base defenses yes. Quite frankly, the Hogosha base provides more "interaction free" methods of becoming neutral to it than many other bases. The base is set to Hogosha IFF, so any hogosha bribe or missions can fix it up right away.

My own base on the other hand is set far more strictly. I don't want someone supplying Corsairs to be able to just grab a Molly bribe at Trafalgar or the Hood and waltz on through with their cargoes of supplies.

Even Molly indies get their ID's and IFF scanned before their ship being made green to the base. That's a well established procedure for many months now and the base has had far less QQ than Itabashi. On second thought, yeah there were a couple of threads about it too, but no calls on forced admin removal or admin relocating of ships to stations on the other side of he jump hole.

The situation at Itabashi is the exact same situation faced regarding *any* NPC base. The one difference is that you can role play with the owners for a solution if you can't get a bribe to fix the reputation. That presents *more* choices than with an NPC base.

The only problem that exists here is that the OP is unwilling to bribe or role play with the base owners. That his his choice of course, and making that choice with an NPC base will have him still be getting shot at by that base.
Thus, is it any surprise that making that same choice regarding a player base has the same effect?
