At the moment we have the conquerable stations e.g. i8 but conquering only allows you to use it for manufacturing. Wouldn't it be great if you could loot the station and disrupt trade or access to the station ? Wouldn't it be great if you could do this to any station and hold it until you lost it again. There would be formidable defences to overcome so it would take a coordinated effort by several players. Once taken, there would be a limited time until an invasion force was mustered by the nation to retake the station. Assuming you lost, you would lose everything there, be immediate KoS and returned to your home station (outside that nation) having been executed.

Whilst you had control of the station, you could plunder commodities, other people's ships and cargo and you'd be outside of the nation's guarded or monitored status and so you could shoot other players without repercussion. If you could hold it for long enough, it could become established through treaty as belonging to say Corvus or whoever the station owner nominated that they had high standing with.

This would make for real, lasting nation wars and a constantly changing map for VO. It was also add some insecurity for regular players and some huge profits and short lives for conquistadors !
