Can we have mini player owned upgradeable stations?
And lets make it so the can warp to another sector once a week? I want it to send drones out to mine ore and have speacial gear and ships we can make and sell please? Plus can we have low level free players have access the station feature as a one time payment dlc or a better system?
And ponies. Don't forget ponies!
+1 great ideas all
I think player/guild owned stations have been on the "possible" list for some time now, but I doubt if they will be cheap (time and materials to build them) or available for Freemium players. There has to be some good reason for some players to sub. That reason now is Building Tridents and no Crystals.
I, for one, and TGFT as a Guild, wish we could build and have our own station now, or at least soon.

Mining drones would be cool, and trading drones or attack drones etc. I really wish the LUA interface permitted this. At a stroke this would change VO so much for the better as there would be actual player contributed content in the game to help supplement the low numbers of players and the boring bots that everybody knows how to defeat. I appreciate Incarnate and the guy's constant effort to improve and provide new content but it's never going to reach critical mass and start a chain reaction. All the successful games and social sites cleverly just provide a platform for participatants to create the content. Then they can focus on moderation, setting the rules, improving the platform and marketing.
I get the argument that it creates an arms race between those who can program and those who can't but if you get the rules right, there shouldn't be a problem. For instance drones will still have to obey the faction rules or they'll be quickly dealt with - they are no different to any other player and players have to observe the rules if they want a happy experience or deal with the grief.
Maybe owning a station would be a gateway to this i.e. some station dashboard that allowed you to create and deploy drones and assign them a control program. It would be really nice if you could customise their look too so there was something different to look at, e.g. upload a 3d model and textures.
