Liberty patrol was there because Freeport 7 was used as a staging point by house expeditions into uncharted Omicrons (i.e. nomad worlds). Liberty and Rheinland actively competed with each other there. Campaign-specific Infocards indicate it was rather fierce competition, acts of sabotage weren't uncommon.

It is hard to imagine a reason that will be so valid to convince devs. I don't know what the impact of station location will be at the game. I think that in the current system maps, none. But since Yanagi was removed, there is no neutral station in Sigmas. And theta isn't connected with sigmas.
I personaly wanted to rebuild it just for sentimental reasons. This can be done only if such is the will of dev. team.
Station should be neutral, because it was a Free Port, so it can only belong to Zoners, or Freelancers. The second option is probably better.
With all the sentiment to zoners, recalling problems with them in this discussion can only hurt the idea. Hardly anyone likes faction, which can not be freely shoot. It is useless for this pvp server.
actually there is. Zoners have long being the bussines persons when it went to outcasts and corsairs, they benefit from their silly war - rebuilding fp7 is infact a great step for the zoners since both outcasts and cannibals have bases in sig13. That's surely enough reason, dare i say.. real reason.
Edit to the above : Yes I guess the nommies did the work, but thats not 100% accurate and it cannot be confirmed, infact as I recall there was a rumor that the chancellor of rheinland ordered the attack.
Aazalot has a good point. They even used Nomad Weapons (I think I haven't played vanilla in quite a while. I think it should be rebuilt for sentimental purposes as well. It was a huge point of interest in the Campaign. It was a mystery as to why it was destroyed and I thin it should be rebuilt because I have a lot more fun playing the campaign then I do online with every terrible character someone has to bring in to play. Tyro......I like your opinion. No one has said it in this thread so I think I should be the first.
