There is one of the “crashed” Anaconda sites that is a lot like that.

There are settlements for actual settlements, they have landing pads and stuff to do

The thought is why would anybody (or groups) living on the edge of society pay huge credits and collect rare mats to build fancy dancy outposts when for a tiny fraction of the cost and effort they can park a stripped-down freighter. Complete with shields and turreted weapons.

I would expect for every fancy outpost there would be dozens of make-shift crappy communities. And in many cases.. crappy communities huddled around the fancy outposts. Where do all these pirates, drug lords, and space hobos live?*

And with all the crash landing sites... why are the survivors waiting in escape pods lying around the crash site? Isn't that kinda weird?

On the other hand, if you're willing to put in the elbow grease, I am sure the current occupants of various rural alien fixer-uppers would be more than eager to sell cheap and move to the city...

I feel like some of this thread came true with the latest Powerplay 2.0 update.. I had to revive it..

We got physical expansion of the Powerplay.
Player colonization coming down the line.
Instead of ship interiors being offered for a $, its been more ships.

Super stoked for future updates.
