Each official faction should have a right to have such an installation in a place prior discussed with a member of the devs or the administation in order to make sure the placement makes RP sense and afterwards, it should be pretty hard to destroy, but not impossible (equivalent to the current Core 5 PoB). The idea behind this proposal is making these bases a place where official factions can decide to place a station of their faction in lore without needing to completely rely on dev decisions. They need to be supplied and so on, with the exception of Nomad/Wild bases.
Only issue with this is for newer players. Remember when i was new and official factions were not anything i knew about, but a few others i ran into we formed a group of our own and built a base because we found it an interesting thing in this game. (Oh cool we can build our own place!) Not to mention those who like the idea of owning their own base might not be interesting in joining an official faction to do so, plus even if they did an official faction already may have a base or more and not like the idea of another rookie building their own. (Mainly because they would want or expect help in supplies and or building etc. Or the faction they are may not have an official faction to join. Haste's seems like a better idea, population is low so need to remember to keep things not too out of reach for some who might be new to this.
