My oiriginal issues with the berth-a-port system was the easy transfer of things across galaxy, back when there was tech. To a lesser extent, it could also be used to berth in repair materials from someones sea chests. Due to ship sizes being much huger / the time to repair being much bigger, this is much less of a concern now, except for specific sub-system repairs.
Patents are the only real thing of value, sort of (once, per instance, since they are not really consumables), now, so could only think of making it so you can't berth-a-port patents around, and not store them in sea chests. Any "issues" with berthaporting in repair supplies would still be a thing of course. Hard solution would be to limit sea chests to your current ship (and thru ship recovery system / a recovery system on ship destruction) and also make berth-a-porting restrict all items (or most items). Hardest system would require target to build a cloning tube / hospital thing and strip everything, and use resources to create a clone (possibly even character DNA of the same type).
Realistically, I'm not sure limiting it too much right now makes sense with the current state of the game. If it goes down the true hardcore route more, then you need to think about the consequences of enabling resource transport across large galactic spaces (less of an issue between galaxies right now at least, i think?)
