Why limit access to user owned bases???

[Josey]

What about bases like ours?
Melbourne station is a Military Installation built within an area restricted to Military only traffic.
Would you expect to be able to just walk into a Military base without them trying to stop you?

As for your "restaurant" example, not all buildings are restaurants. You can't expect to be able to just walk into a company office, or someones house, and expect to be welcomed.

HA HA! Thanks guys.
Sure there would be stations just for a faction – especially military or police stuff. But many of the stations are more civil – I think. I just recon that the general public could help with the needed goods.
I’ll look up the bases mentioned and see what trade can be done with them.
