Fair enough.
The problem is that it is not just about one base firing.
I believe we can all agree that the only problem with that base is that it is located right outside planet New Tokyo.
The RP of the Hogosha faction has been this way for some time already.
Before this mod update the BDS made a conscious decision to move to a more lawful state.
They backed up this move with ingame RP of which they have been quite consistent.
When the mod changes came about, a balance was sought after for the Hogosha/FA to prevent them from pirating in Kusari and docking strait after.
This was resolved in two ways.
The Farmers were moved to full criminal and allowed to continue with pirating in Kusari.
The Hogosha had their ability to pirate in Kusari taken away to fall inline with official faction RP.
The Hogosha are a legal entity in Kusari.
That is the lore we must use.
Now that may change, either because of player driven RP or dev driven lore changes.
But until it does, this is what we must deal with.
There is player driven RP in the works, no telling which way it may go yet.
