Just an idea, have no idea if it is a good one, but someone brought up Deneb and Serco not having a station there, and well they kind of usually do, but they cannot home at them. Also even Deneb aside, I personally think this would be awesome, and something even none-capship owners can benefit from.

Allow any pilot to be able to set a (second?) home to any cap ship they can dock at. Leave the pilots actual home station set to the station they are primarily homed at. If they die while homed at the cap ship, they can buy ships and equipment from their primary home to replace the one they lost (maybe with extra cost) and will have to wait for the new ship to arrive (5-10? seconds per system, nothing major unless u on the other side of the verse). Only 1 ship can be held at any time. No station cargo or stored items can be accessed. You want something you stored in that station, then the station has to sell it. Not sure if that should extend to cargoes as capship owners already have enough ways to move extra cargo around without giving them ways to teleport it. "buy back last ship" would function just as it does now, so if you have an addon in storage at the station, buy back will buy and equip it, but buying a new ship will only let you access stuff the station sells. Maybe even limit this whole thing to just "buy back last ship?" or it puts you in ec-89 if any item is not available (or if you or the station run out), so you best be sure the station has what you are flying before you home to a capship.

Maybe I'm just rambling, but it would give capships something actually tactical to do, and also finding one to kill it could possibly slow down people returning to a fight. If the cap ship dies, the home station is reset to the primary home, and the pilot would then have to dock with another capship and set that as home. There should also be an option on the capship to unhome, then upon next death, they also go back to the station.
