There is currently one dummy station somewhere in sedina (unless it was removed recently), and it is an interesting novelty. Why not add more dummy stations throughout the universe? Maybe not in nation space, but spread throughout grey space there could be empty stations. They could be in sectors with permanent Hive Queens or rich roids, something to make the sectors interesting. Thoughts?

No, because they'll be in the game for exactly 4 minutes before the first post about either making them dockable or remove them is made.

sad but true. i wouldnt mind ghost stations either

Sorry, but I vote no. There are enough pointless stations.

I would go in the opposite direction and say to add some systems that have no stations, possibly bisecting a very good trade route.

Hmmmm, why not put a few small "dummy" stations around that you can blow up? That could be amusing for a while. Make them so you can dock there only to repair, but also make it so people could explode them. That would be interesting in a PvP sector hahaha. (dont take that suggestion seriously).

I'd prefer a destroyed station with a big ol hole in it that has a complex backstory to it with a couple of missions going along with it ;)

yes.

Good idea. I don't think you need a dummy station for that. Right now, none of the stations have 'a story' or any real meaning in VO. They are basically places to buy ships and take mostly generic missions. There is no real competition between them. No struggle for survival. No reason whatsoever to be sympathetic to any of them apart from their usefulness as staging points and 'wanted' items.

Add depth to what we have first imo. Yeah, I'm sure there's some crap about stations in the backstory. If its not in the game its meaningless.

I've always wanted to see something concerning the long dead factions of the game. The only thing left are the bots which they developed... Orne, Helman, Dentek, Kannik, etc.

I've always wanted to see something in the game which reminded me of the backstory in any small way, since the backstory was the original reason I started playing. I gave up hope of that a long time ago, though.

Tech demos can be fun. They really can.
