Player owned stations
I'm sure it's been talked about before, but when I did a search for "player built stations" the results weren't what I was looking for.
I'm sure we can have player built stations. There just has to be a few criteria to make this all happen. I figured it'd be a good time to put this up now that Incarnate is thinking about reducing the "free space" of the NPC stations. Just a few of my suggestions.
Only the Capitol stations will have the option for a player to purchase a "deed" for his new station. There would be special deeds for organizations and guilds as well. Once you have a deed you need to venture to various stations to get things done. You can only get deeds from YOUR faction or from Corvus, but you can only have two deeds at a time (perosnal and guild modules). Mining stations for materials, barracks stations for hiring defenses, commerical stations to hire people to actually build your station. As for the limits for each player...
1. One personal station and one station module (in the case of guild stations) per character.
2. The station (guild or personal) must be built in an empty sector. No asteroids or NPC stations in that sector.
3. Each empty sector will have a limit as to how many personal stations it can have in it. There can only be one guild station in a sector as well, but it can have a lot of modules.
4. The costs of the deed, materials and labor will be high, and it will take time to build the thing depending on its size. Defenses will cost a number of credits per week (or per day).
5. Player owned stations can only be built in whichever system you're loyal to. Anyone can build their station in grey systems, however.
As for station types, well.. it depends on how rich you are.
Small stations have a storage of 10k cu.
Medium stations have 50k cu.
Large Luxurious stations ahve 100k cu.
There'd be several models for each type of station that can be chosen from too.
Guild Stations can have as much as 200k cu per player.
Ugh... I'm tired now. You can throw more suggestions at this if you wish. :)

Almost forgot. Each station type will be very expensive. The station building it will have to send out builderbots with the materials needed. And that could be a seperate cost. At the most small stations may take a day or two while the larger luxurious stations could take about a week... If you want it built sooner you should cough up more credits to the task.
I am reducing "Free" space of factional stations with the long-term expectation of player stations being the locations for major storage. But, as an FYI, this thread also exists:

I really should've checked more thoroughly for similar threads. Still, I hope the ideas I've submitted have helped in the grand plans for personal stations.
Yup, it's always good to check http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/7692 first.
