"Abandoned" Bases

[Xing]

RPly, I fully agree with the idea.
Gameplay practical way, I disagree. Because here, we don't only have good roleplayers, we have powerplayers and noobs, which ruins good stuffs.

Imagine lawful pursuing a smuggler, smuggler dock with one such abandonned base, and decides to log off.

Very poor roleplay, and that neutral base just made his escape easier than before.

In a good roleplay form, he would have;
1. avoided the station to dock with a base diplomatically impossible for the lawful to go aboard and search (junkers)
2. continue to run until he is out of lawful juridiction
3. dock with the station anyway - and roleplay it out aboard the station, which I find a very attractive idea. Imagine the smuggler having a crew of 10, against 2 lawful pilots, the smugglers might actually get away with it by fighting it off on land.

Does this happen that often on server?
Admit it, not really.
