Why do you not like player owned bases

Not every POB-related conflict could be resolved by diplomacy, unlawfuls RP initialy assume that them doing alot of things on a whim. Like destroy stations or kill men just because their soup was bad today, or he saw wrong flicker color on a ship. But i doubt that will satisfy you.

There could be alot of another reasons, like faction politic changes, expansion, setting monopoly on ore trading, just inRP nemesis-level hostility, would anything of it satisfying reason for destruction of months of work?

POBs kinda great as commodity exchanger and generating activity linking such way players from different timezones, but unfortunately everything what you can improve in them stuck into either weak freelancer economy or flhook limitations.

Ah also when something in game become a work, probably it is not a good mechanic. And yes, im too wasted alot of time on this all.
