Hmmm... Well, you did mention something about Marsden going to be looking into setting up shop somewhere else after OGJ anyways, right? 
Of course, since we don't know the details yet... We'll work it out somehow.
As for the Alphas... I say go for it, especially if you can figure out someway of building/getting Betas to go with them. That could probably happen post-OGJ
when The Roughriders start growing again. I'm planning on at least two more bases in-system, as well as a factory located near 36 Atalante that will focus
on building primarily mass production moddel Blackbird, Peacemaker, and Fezig class ships.
