Most traders are rephacked fairly low to Hogosha thus are fixable. Only Bowex and BMM are fully hostile, but they are not allowed to trade in Kusari anyway; GMG is hated by the Hogosha which has spawned Ryoken's recent ragequit.
As I posted elsewhere, and have said to several people around the place (and has been said by Jeni and Yuki) someone with the effort to send a communication to the Kusari Government with evidence, petitioning them to have the guns removed. If you hadn't bought the base from the KSP, I'd highly doubt the Kusari Government would give you the go-ahead to set up anti-GMG turrets. Jeni, you were involved with Freeport XXI's destruction for having too many weapon platforms, were you not? Same thing here if you hadn't got the base in its current form. I've also suggested that if you want the platforms to shoot potential attackers, Samura IFF would be a similar but less brutal compromise.

Well, there were a few who did that but no-one with the power to do anything about it.
To Uratul (nice name by the way), you were Fluffytransport with your presonal quest to throw yourself against Krupps guns as much as possible. As much as my Bundschuh tried to help, it does make for a nice line about the government's oppression of the people and inspiring fear in the population under its guns.

You mean like kicking out the deep-seated Imperial line and becoming a Republic? I suppose that is a pretty conservative move...
Their work with Gallia, and Kishiro's general outlook to include foreign trade to strengthen the economy is very in-line with the "don't have our GMG allies blow up next to our capital" way of thinking.

He does have a point as well, if there had been any RP on the Hogosha side then at least this would have been a bit more visible. As above, the government likely wouldn't be up for you owning the station if you were going to disrupt trade (lawful and wanted in their eyes, regardless of what the Hogosha think).
