I want either less powergaming or a bigger chance to participate in it @Devteam

For me the point about the base is not that every new base should have to require prior RP behind it but rather that this is kinda a significant advancement for the Hellfire Legion and should have honestly had some prior RP.

it represents the first hellfire owned base being constructed not only outside of Vesppucci but also inside of Liberty core space.

Also about the Xenos relations, disco diplomacy is all about give and take. You may not agree with the Xenos ways but them being your only safe haven in Liberty means you kinda of have to go against your factions morals and look the other way. It adds some depth to the faction and could have even been turned into the RP for the construction of the base. Instead the base just shows up to save the day theoretically making it so the HF have less incentive to compromise to the Xenos.

Like I said, I don't have a dog in this fight and not really mad just personally feel like there was a lot of potential lost that could have added more depth to the Hellfire.

I don't disagree, and I actually had a talk on teamspeak with @Omicega (who is attempting to revive the XA-) about the future of the Hellfire Legion with the Xenos. We both agreed that it's an interesting dynamic and hostilities aren't the way to go. We do still benefit hugely from their help, and I think the relationship adds as much depth and compromise to the Xeno side of things as it does with the Legion.

As for a base outside of Vespucci being a major step, I'm not trying to powergame my faction here but we are supposed to have a little more manpower and technical prowess than the Xenos, Bundschuh, GC, or Gaians. All of which have bases in at least two core house systems. What's the big deal, really? We missed out on an opportunity for some cool roleplay, but I don't see it as being a huge issue that it didn't happen.
