PoBs are high-risk-high-reward things. They are the only thing in the game that players can put into the game world but also lose. And this is, while also being a roleplay sandbox, for the most a competitive game. PvP is by no means limited to ships shooting each other. You need to have full awareness of this - people can and will destroy a PoB if you make yourself a target. And making yourself a target is very easy.
People generally dislike seeing PoBs pop up out of nowhere - simply because everyone can spam PoBs with a considerably small amount of effort. They often do a horrible job at integrating into the game world, be it in terms of roleplay or by positioning. While it is true that Discovery offers this very cool feature, it is one of the features that could not cause more drama. It is certainly not a feature that is tailored to newcomers, and pulling off establishing a decent PoB with adequate roleplay, reasoning and function requires a certain level of understanding of how the community works, what people expect and the simple fact that you will have to make compromises one way or another. You put something in the game that can be destroyed by people for the most simple or exotic reasons.
My advice, when it comes to PoBs, is to look at other PoBs, how they are operated, by whom and what roleplay they offer. Get a feeling for what they must have gone through to make the PoB work. The time spent, the roleplay written, the credits paid. It really doesn't matter whether it is a PoB in house space or outside - there is always factions who decide what they allow to be put in their turf and what not. In fact, in house space, you merely get pirated legally by government players. Don't trust that they will come to aid you when you get sieged.
While the PoB feature is really cool, especially now, ask yourself whether you really want to put something in the game that can be destroyed permanently. If it is about the roleplay, just keep in mind you don't need a physically existing installation in the game world. You can always roleplay playing people on a station or doing stuff on a capital ship like a Bustard. If it is for the production of things, you can always help other PoB owners with their productions and make good cash that way, too. There is no need for every player to have their own PoB - cooperation can definitely be a lot more fun than spending your precious time babysitting your own PoB and watching it eat maintenance goods. It is a glorified tamagotchi, in a way.
If you still insist on making your own PoB, I wish you best of luck with it and hope you won't burn out with it. Discovery has so much cool stuff to offer, be it roleplay, PvE, PvP, exploration or powertrading - there is something for everyone. It would be a shame to lose a player because of them going for the one thing that can be destroyed permanently.
