I would appreciate any assistance.
These are the reasons that I feel this quest line is stupid.

Why should I be FORCED to help some Boron scum?
They have no idea where a shipyard is, yet they have all these dumpy stations everywhere.
The Pirates and Xenon even have bases there, yet they need ME, a simple Argon official, to figure out how to get out of this godforsaken clump of sectors.
This is clearly boron space, and yet there's hardly anything, or anyone around.
I'm just handed Spacelab Headquarters, and I don't want it or anything else in ANY of these sectors.
I am FORCED to build a bofu station for no other reason than "because you can".
I go through the HSAP and find Paranid space, and while I'm not enemies with them, and I'd bet even if I were Paranid, I'm not allowed through, or at least to explain the situation, or they'll attack me.
I go and talk to this Paranid who supposedly has influence, and he tells me that he has been given his TL class ship as punishment (oh yea, it really sounds like he has influence). I then proceed to tell him I can get him a warship, to which he refuses saying he won't give up his ship, then I let him know I can get him out of the void, and he claims not to believe me, but says he trusts my honor about getting him a warship and he'll give up his TL class ship in exchange for a scorpion, which is an M4 class ship... who the hell wrote this, because they should be fired.
Based on my first play through when FL first came out, I can also say that I absolutely hate the fact that the headquarters I got is in a giant sphere (I'm playing a space sim and my base is in a glorified building) that is literally in the middle of every other race in the game. I'm just HANDED the most strategic sector in space, and I'm supposed to believe that not one race is coming with their entire fleet to take it?
