So hey, about the recent Zoner drama. Use it much?

[Haste]

If you say a system is yours, but someone else manages to build and maintain 4 Core 4 bases against your will, the system wasn't really yours at all

You're forgetting here that core 4 bases being as tough as they are now with no actual way to bring them down (save for 24/7 guard duty, which I don't think any faction is capable of doing) is a very out-of-roleplay thing. Have you seen the things? They're barely the size of a Cruiser, yet they can tank forty-odd battleships for hours on end*.

I understand the out of roleplay reasoning for bases being as sturdy as they are (and I don't think they should get an easy "throw battleships at them" solution), but it shouldn't be used by a faction in roleplay to act more powerful than they are.

*) The server unfortunately can't, which leads to core 4 effectively being "invincible".
