ships before items. or at the same time.
Atice, being able to sell ships to players would be awesome... (and Profitable)...
"Come on down to Honest Ryans used preowned and used some more discount space ships emporium! You need ships? We got ships! Look at this! We got a Sky Command Prometheus! Low miles, one owner and it was only used to take the kids to space soccer practice on the week ends! We got a Valk X-1, used to belong to a sweet little old lady, only flew it on sundays to go to space church! You need cargo room? We got cargo room! Check out this Behemoth XC! Practically brand new, used to belong to a famous diamond smuggler, only trouble is it corners poorly... almost as if there is something hidden between the inner and outer hulls!
Yep, down here at Honest Ryans used preowned and used some more discount space ships emporium, we have the best selection and best prices and the biggest selection of high quality ships to choose from!
Remember, if you want quality used ships at great prices come to see us at Honest Ryans used preowned and used some more discount space ships emporium, if you want broken, worn out unsafe ships that will assuredly kill you as soon as you launch, go see Nahin Lor... and as always, we'll give you the "I didn't go to Nahin Lor discount"!

if they implemented this along with being able to buy/sell ships, it would be completely win.

Order Summary:
Individual has declared himself too lazy to get Serco Admired, or cannot maintain said standing, so therefore will get his bunghole reamed in the purchase price of this vessel. Repair costs will be the same on this black market vessel, but if lost in battle or roid ramming, owner claims all responsibility, and u just got pwnd.

Also, the P2P trade of items/ships would add a more realistic feeling/immersion to trade and there for VO as a whole would benefit. Not to mention its a great step towards a true player run economy as I have no doubt that groups like PA and TGFT would set up shop almost overnight, not to mention ONE and ITAN selling to people of their nations.
It wold also add much needed use to the conquerable stations as well as creating an incentive to keep/defend them, thus turning them from free repair/reload docking ports/bragging rights to centers of power/commerce.
Which would in turn draw traders to Grey space, giving rise to the need for/use of player escorts in the form of resupply convoys.
With the advent of the conquerable stations, p2p trade of goods and ships seems like a very logical and needed next step.

Nations should obviously ban the P2P sale of military ships on their stations.
This idea is fleshing out nicely.

hhmmm, maybe ship transfers can only happen in gray space?
Alloh, that would be cool. Kind of like in America if you want to sell your car you must by law do it in Ohio.
Go away.

"Nations should obviously ban the P2P sale of military ships on their stations." +1, question though. Do you mean ban selling their own military ships? Or all? Either way I like it, just curious.

I think any items other than ships (cargo, weapons etc.) should still have to be transferred by jettisoning cargo and the other player picking it up. The reason being as it involves more risk when you transfer goods, a person could come in a shoot one of you, or steal it etc. It opens more room for that sort of thing RP wise, and requires a player to think more strategically when transfering items.
Ships however should be transferable.

And it is completely unrealistic not to mention out of sync with trade in the rest of the game. When I buy 120 cus of rare books I pay then load then launch and fly off. Not pay, launch, wait for a guy to bring it out, dump it, go pick it up and fly off.
If you're worried about not getting shot at or not having the option of shooting at people who are trading, there is still the whole trip from point A to point B where you can chase them down, demand a ransom and or fire on them/destroy them.
Trading as it stands requires no "strategic thinking" just making sure no one is around that will kill you or having some people there to watch your back. There is more "strategic thinking" in the workings of a VPR escort than in the current P2P trading system.
The only RP value the current system has is if we all decided we want to RP people who are to dumb to realize trading in the station is better and more logical while the NPC merchants in the station watch through a window and point and laugh.

would be nice to have guild station storage too

Which has absolutely nothing to do with this topic and, in point of fact has its own topic.

Out of curiosity... any chance of Dev input on this?
Thread necromancy!
Considering you had to reanimate it into this zombie form, there little chance of dev input id say
Oh, yeah... I just revived it to counter PoL's horrendous idea about invincible floating magic sales cubes.
