Signed up purely to respond to this.
As a very new player this seems to be a staggeringly bad move, I can't get into PB's as I'm new and have tiny ships so can never get a place in a PB that may be 40-60 mins away, I play for short periods as I have a life so again restricts me from PB's even if I could get in one.
My friends may have a base in one area, now I have to go MILES away to have any chance of getting a single building slot rather than work with the friends I may bring to the game.
No sorry, if this comes in the game will be removed till common sense prevails.
