Corporations besides hybrid states like GMG and Core don't really care about bases and solars, it changes their gameplay very little and imo would be a big waste of time to focus on.
E.G. I play Kruger in Rheinland - you barely even ever notice you have less bases than Daumann, in terms of function they are irrelevant almost and you could do with one HQ and little would change.
Sorry I didn't read your article because it got too much words to read, but as an ordinary player I'd like to express my thought.
Corporations aren't fun to play, Indeed. It's a tool, a tool of earning money.
As a ordinary game player, It's my nature to seek honor, cool stuff, powerful weapons and beatiful warships, while corporations don't have everything I mentioned above.
I mean, corporation factions should be boring, at least that's the truth, at this stage.
