common lane hacker's restart gives you a possibility to dock outcast guard station (-0.4 or -0.3, can't check this right now to provide the dear community with screens)

We were told all Guard factions and assets were going to be culled because they were a somewhat oorp and in many cases undeserved power injection into the factions that reccived them. Some factions built massive parts of their roleplay around them, before tearfully (and perhaps rightfully?) being told these assets would be deleted to improve mod consistency and clean up systems. So the fact that this promise has not been met, and that some factions got to keep their guard assets and IFFs, is a massive slap in the face to those who had these removed and a clear case of selective bias.

I called for removing guard IFFs many years ago already, not only because of the problem you mentioned, but also because it was once said that there could only be a certain number of factions and IFFs (128?) when I suggested splitting Zoner IFF into several kinds of zoners like Tau Zoners, Omicron Zoners, Omega Zoners, and mabye more.
That would solve some problems like Freeports being used as staging grounds, and zoners being a supertradefaction (which was the reason for their trade docking restrictions in house space), and thereby the restriction of zoners docking their 5ks in house space could be lifted, which would centralize their trade in and out of house space again.

Junker Guard IFF has no bases anymore. I listed Guard IFFs with solars.
