OK then, hows about a ghost station.
See thread http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/8486#98239
I myself dont see why the devs should be concerned about n00bs getting station camped at ONLY corvus stations (I never asked for the entire NFZ be removed, just corvus), and i think a lot of players were looking forward to being able to fight round stations again, but on the other hand, I did get station camped by a much better player than me (a loooooong time ago) I ended up loggin off for an entire two weeks (not an option now people are paying)...
...One person said straight away when i said *they're not, because of station campers* was *Why should they be worried about station campers at corvus, its pirate stations, n00bs have no buisness being there*, well, kinda true, maybe with more in-game warning about the fact there is NO protection in corvus space when entering, could be a possibility (ie, scare people that dont want to be shot with words)....
...Not going to happen with turrets blasting our backsides either, so how could we have a good old fasioned sector war??..
Add a dead station, i did add this to a reply on the *pettition* thread, but heres a new suggestion.
A dead station nobody can dock at, that is not on the navmap/radar as a station, but is somewhere easy to find (2000m from sedina b-8 wh for instance)and is basically just a structure to fight around...
..Thats what i wanted with my first post, not that grey be made more dangerous (cant be without more warning added first) but just to be able to fight somewhere other than *space*...
Its my idea of a *compromise* turrets aint it, how are we supposed to fight while being shot at by the station?..lol smashing into it trying to escape that swarm will be enough =D
[Edit]
And before someone says "Go find a nice roid to fight around" its not the same... ... roids dont have thin antenna, small places to crawl inside, but i like the tunnel idea martin.mac.au suggested =)

Well, the -fun- thing about old wars was that you could just dock, reload, undock and fight. no transport, no time to travel, just intensity.
Or, when you died, you could just reappear. once again, fit for fight, for as long as you cared, had energy or money to do so.
The dead station structure would be interesting, but still not enough I think. We have theese interesting rock structures, and people don't fight around those, aye?
Perhaps having it live enough that you can dock, repair, reammo, but nothing else? no homing, and no ships avaiable?
I don't really know there, hmm. Making Odia M-14 without it while others have? Or perhaps only Corvus stations in Odia are without an NFZ? Or they have an NFZ, and no bots dispatched? *Grins*

Yeah, your correct, getting straight back in there was ace, and you still could... anyone homed in sedina could be straight back if dead, easy to run to a station spider, plenty in sedina =D ie, its not the old days, but this would be a great compromise =D turrets instead of sf aint it.
I agree... having a place that people can just keep fighting around like that would be awesome. I often fly around stations and just feel bummed that I don't get to chase people around them, or use neat little tricks to lose people so that I can land.
I love this idea. You could place a couple in interesting places along the convoy routes, maybe one at Sed B8 and the other at Edras/Pelatus WH. They could even incorporate enclosed areas for more interesting duels and tunnels and trenches running through them.
One request though. Make them huuuuge.
Oh and also, they could be a different and older design than the current stations, relics from eons past. Give the galaxy some history.

Maybe put a nice large debris field in Sedina B8. Lots of large and small ship parts just floating around. Remnants of the bazillion battles that have taken place there.
I wouldn't mind seeing truely dangerous asteroid fields either. There are really cool rocks in the universe that you can crawl around in and play with, but none of those are in WH sectors. correct me if i'm wrong, but i'd love to see a few of those shattered rocks in wh sectors.
Sorry, i have recently fought a player round a roid with holes, it was fun, but not the same...
I want a station to fight round, unless you were there, you maybe wont understand, i would prefer Corvus NFZ be removed, but obviously John aint gunna go for that (is that cos you guys start at m-14? i dunno.. I will shoot a dev)
So how about a structure, that is useless except for the fight, there are plenty of exciting roid battles available, its still not the same...
/me cries...

Not to detract from the suggestion, but the big ice masses are kind of fun for fighting around.
Like i said, its not the same...
Yoda, I think what we need is a station that is under construction. You can't dock, etc. but by virtue of not being finished, there should be lots of gaping holes, stretching girders and other random pieces of metal to fight around.
Oh, and I might add, that without power, it should get very dark inside this thing. It's space, and I wish we could fight in the shadows at times!

Can we have headlights too then. :D
"In space, no one can see your beam"
imagine fighing in a deathstar-trench style thing where there would be piled of superstructure sticking out everywhere... man, would that be UBER!!1
The problem with that iTripped, is that then, while its FUN to fight around it, there's no REASON to fight around it.
The only thing that will keep people from flying out into empty space, is if there's an objective which they need to stay near.
There has to be something about this station which makes it worth people's time to go to and fight over.

Hmm... I'm thinking King of the Hill.
It's an ancient artefact... the nation that manages to have the most people in proximity the longest time gets neutron 4's or something.
That should cause a royal rumble :)

Put the "under construction" station right in front of a wormhole, it will get lots of traffic and that's where most of my fights have occured anyway. The fact that people are asking for it says that it will get used as a place for battle. Maybe not everyone but it would be eye candy if nothing else. All the structures in VO need to be bigger, stations, roids, roid fields, etc.
