Wouldn't it just be as easy to assign a password to said supplier? It'd be a fair amount of work coding that which draws time away from another, more important task. I see where you're going with that but it also leaves a disadvantage to those whom dock. Say if you leave it open to all (Some people like to do this to sell equipment to passers by), and some spiteful nefarious docks on there. OORP this person notes down, say lack of RA or repairs. Logs his battleship and promptly shoots the base, this activates the shield and nobody can dock. I think it'd be more of a dangerous thing to add due to abuse than it would be to aid the suppliers and lets face it, to take off the few seconds of giving someone a password. Which takes literally two seconds to type in, to check the base status, it's not worth it. In reality, you would only have trusted people supply the base, thus they'd be trustworthy enough to have said password. In my opinion, anyway.
