Base balance and other such matters

[Skipper]

Any reasons other than your own comfort? At the expense of a useful balancing tool?
I, for one, welcome our new fairness-biased overlords.

Scenario: Trader is fleeing from pirates.
Trader dodges until he gets to a base. Trader docks. Trader is safe.

Same scenario with this moronic rule:
Trader dodges until he gets to a base. Pirate shoots once at the base. Trader is refused docking. Trader gets blown up. Trader later has to go back and take fuel to the base which it consumed while this bloody moronic rule allowed him to be exploded.

A braindead seacucumber would see this is not balance. Except perhaps, of course, you.
