This is a good example of why a system denoting exactly what actions can be earned or not, and how to earn them would help. Some say this can't be countered, but if there were in game requirements that require trade, it still can be countered. In these cases, just lay it out in advance and this could be avoided. As in, outline that bases only move X systems at a time, require doing X to make it happen.
The current base building system is terrible. We all know starting new core 1's is a joke most of the time. Ironic because unlawfuls should (oorply) want the interest these days.
POB's are said to be cluttering up the server, that can be fixed by changing the costs of starting a base, and changing how much you can upgrade a single POB.
-Add a requirement of 1 unit of a commodity with a 100 million/unit price, making building a POB cost at least that much to start
-Make the cost of base builders at least 100 million
-Increase starting HP to 100 million 200 million
-Switch starting turrets to real turrets with high damage
-Allow for more core upgrades, they don't need to change model but still add more cores to allow for more modules to be added to the same base, which may draw down stacking of bases to compensate. (Or, equally, add more modules per core, like 6 per core, not 3.)
(yes in a way they could be used by unlawfuls as battlebases to block routes, but at a cost of 100 million per attempt. Easily countered within days by any faction with capital access, it would get unlawfuls spending big more often, and give lawfuls more more in depth things to do)
In this case if it were clear in advance they might only get one move, one system at a time, every X months, no one winds up wasting time. So, although I support being able to do something, all the way across Sirius in one go might be a bit much. Say they get to earn one move, to one adjacent system at a time, every 3 months, they could work on moving one slowly towards Colorado, New York, California, at the very least. And perhaps also build a new one in Dublin, but upgrade core 1's and give them a chance, its ridiculous as is.
