Generally don't do anything about them until you browse and study the hell out of the Tutorial section, especially about Player owned bases. Also studying the rules a bit would help avoid what Tails mentioned, rule violations.
My approach is simple.
I don't want to spend time building a base (at least for now) so I don't bother knowing more about them then necessary.
An easy way to get one - yes. That was of high interest.
Maybe we get contracted to carry supplies to any of the player bases... that might shed some light on maintenance details and players may share some insides.
We are aware of the rules and how to tippy-toe around most players too.
For now, a smaller then expected contingent made it back into Sirius. We'll see what we can do for the future.
Thank you all for the replies and shedding some light on this.
I appreciate the comms.
