Not only that, but they should add the requirement of 1 unit of another commodity that you can only buy off an NPC base for 100 million credits (a unit). And that would mean, each POB built would also basically cost 100 million up front. I think that would take care of frivolous base building once and for all.
Making pobs more expensive does the opposite of reducing drama around them.
Also, why "frivolous"?
Guy 1 builds pob to buy and sell ore and make him a profit, thinking he will make his investment back in no time when lots of people use his pob.
Guy 2 doesnt want to leave part of his profits with Guy 1, and builds a pob that buys and sells at same price, together with like minded people. Is that "frivolous"?
Guy 1 now built his pob for nothing and gets mad at Guy 2.
Making their pobs more expensive isn't going to make him less mad and it doesnt make it less likely to happen either.
