To problem is not the object itself but how it is currently handled, in a pretty unfair and not necessarily profiting way. People who think their PoB is untouchable are simply forgetting what a PoB is, matter of factly. Great sources of activity, sometimes even RP, but especially a very vulnerable target. All the current PoB system needs is a fair - and with that I mean fair - way of defending the PoB. Are defense platforms doing the job? Partially. As long as they keep bugging and as long as people are allowed to simply exploit the bugged platforms (as in not shooting them once they respawn), destroying a PoB will remain very easy. If not done within two hours with a mass of battleships, then by sieging it like in medival times, having it dry out.
Destroying other player's month long work is never fair. It doesn't matter if you do it alone or together with 20 people.

Please explain.
People get attached to a system, the system changes. People invested in the old system may get upset and people may leave because of it. Considering Discovery is on life support those changes seem a bit too drastic for the community
And how many people left because of the current system?
Not changing a system that you know is bad because a change would be mildly upsetting is like never taking a shower because you don't like water.
It's also possible to make the new system an additional option, and it's also possible to move existing bases into an NPC base of the owners' choice.
