Good things could come out from something like this, unlawful side would get a piece of cake for cargo piracy, which is more fun and realistic in my opinion.

And would love to see something like this as a smuggler myself, fleets of smuggling ships all around selling their product in known ports.

Exactly, it might even get a few lawful traders visiting. Who could resist high quality products at rock bottom prices? No one will know it's stolen, just paint over the scortch marks and it'll be like new.

I did look at using stations in those systems, in fact this idea started out as a suggestion for the phantoms assets but in the end I thought it'd be more fun to actually see product moving through Sirius.

It would be different because POBs need to be restocked. Meaning there needs to be a chain of delivery compared to a base having an infinite amount of items

Right on the money.

Player interaction. The smugglers band together, build the bases, role the play and play the role, get the base core upgraded, and actually have fun as a smuggler

You've got the player interaction right but personally I wouldn't have these bases built and upgraded. There are far too many, for lack of a polite term, "people" out there who will spend their time blowing up bases just to annoy. You certainly could get a group of folks together and build them but I wouldn't trust this community as far as I could throw it, not with something that could actually do good.

When I get a bit of free time again I'll go through the various smuggling routes and put some rough prices up.
