Guten Tag again, Sehr geehrter CEO Thalmann. It seems some misunderstanding happened between us about location of the base, I apologize for that. You have to understand that vicinity of planet Stuttgart is already area with high density of space traffic and we don´t want to make situation even more complicated by adding another base to the crossroad, increasing risk of accident which would block this vital intersection.
Also, even bases without weapon platforms are equipped with basic weapon turrets. While they don´t possess same destruction potential and ability to create area supremacy like weapon platforms, our experience from the past is that if any hostile will be moving in the area, the automatic defense system will start to fire all around and this can cause damage on nearby objects or passing ships, creating dangerous situations.
For this reason, current standardized distant requirement for modular bases is at least ten kilometers from any nearest space traffic objects with some small deviations, allowed which are considered on case-by-case basis.
For this reason, polizei have to refuse your request. However, after re-examining the situation around planet Stuttgart, we are willing to change distance conditions this way:
Your base is allowed to be placed near planet Stuttgart with miminal distance from its docking ring and mooring point kept at ten kilometers. However, miminal required distance from all rings of Stuttgart - New Berlin jump gate trade lane is lowered to 8,3 kilometers. Same applies to end ring of Stuttgart-Baden Baden trade lane, and its second ring in direction to Baden Baden must stay from the base at least seven kilometers. According to our measurement, this can be achieved by placing the base around 2,5 kilometers above Aalen´s back side, which should still keep your base within planet Stuttgart´s security perimeter.
