Then you have to swallow your communist pride and hire somebody like junkers Or zoners (yeah, docking only with BWT in house space, I know...). Or at least inRP make cover company (something like inteligence agencies use for their dirty business) which is "trading with materials" and order them inRP, then make business in some neutral space using freelancer IDed ships for cover. Just first what came to my mind. Still better than "John indie trader" who is changing his ID twice a week...
This is another reason why base maintenance is boring as hell, 16 trips in a 5K just for the shield?
That's after you've traveled through all of Sirius and Gallia to get the supplies needed to build it.
Screw that.
Is it really that profitable to own a base? Are cloaks priced accordingly so the effort put in to it is worth it? How much are you making per hour from your cloak factory?
I have no idea how long it takes to churn out a cloak, but I image in the time it takes, you could easily make enough money trading/mining to buy as many cloaks as you want.

What do you need to get in Gallia? I constructed a base without even touching gallia.
