I've just given you a scenario that explains my point, perhaps something more obvious? How about personally being pirated directly outside of Curacao? I'm fairly postive that wouldn't happen if half a dozen gun platforms surrounded the docking rings.
The fact of the matter is calling for some area denial bases to be moved while others remain is a double standard, regardless of how well intentioned the idea may be. For example, placing a PoB above a guard station meets the critera of both being near a gate but above a station of the same IFF.
