Conq station in unknown system
how about a conquerable station in the unknown system?
Players gain a place to repair and possibly reload, extending their stay in unknown system for resource gathering.
The station could/should provide no manu ability, it is not for that purpose.
The station gets re-taken by NPCs after a certain period of time or some "internal power struggle" starts that warns the owner he/she is about to lose control of the station.
When the station is taken by a player, that player gains access to any inventory left by the previous player/owner, even if there was an NPC ownership transition period as an additional prize. This probably should exclude ships since some national specialty ships have restricted ownership limits and that could be abused... or do the opposite and see how that dynamic plays out.
Any player cannot retake the station or even dock in it for some cool down period. Your lost inventory will most likely go to someone else. The NPCs are aware of your plans and prevent you from entering.
The station cannot be taken from a player/owner. The next player to take the station must wait until the NPCs retake control of the station
You cannot give away keys to the station when you own it, but rather you can either allow everyone in freely or set it to attack anyone else who enters.
As an added bonus.. possibly make it capship dockable as well.

I think people were hoping for guild/player built stations in the unknown. If that happened, they could probably be destroyed or conquerable. I don't know having a perma conq station there would be good. +1 for assets there, but -1 for it being a conq station with prizes.
That's a pretty complex suggestion. I counter with the suggestion of a small station with no capship docks, no NFZ, no guards. If someone wants to keep other people out they can stay there and guard it themselves. Plus periodically a hostile hive moves in, slowly building in numbers if not cleared. The station sells nothing and nobody can home there.
I think this could be added with a reasonable amount of work by the devs since the mechanics already exist, if they like and approve of the idea.

Can buy reloads there.
Can store ships and stuff there.
