1) I like the idea of the secondary password. It would allow for needed help in running a base without having to wonder if it will be there tomorrow.
2) I understand it is an RP server. That is why I am here. Jack is also right however. Certain aspects of the game are OORP. It is not something we like, but it is what it is. knowing the difference between INRP and OORP is the trick to being a role player. You can find crafty ways of bringing these into RP, but they are OORP non the less.
3) I like both of these ideas combined. Do not restrict a players ability to place a base. If said player wants to place CR base 600k from a GRN battleship let them, but have that base open to attack from every GRN NPC and player alike, along with there allies. If a player sets a base next to a jump hole and sets up weapon platforms, treat it like a player attack. If it take the shields down to half then that player may return fire, and call for back up.
4) I think I understand this. (If not please tell me so) I believe Jack is saying the whole Rule needs to be rewritten. It should more clearly state the rules of engagement for both players, and player bases.
