Greetings,
It is pretty easy to do in the current 2019 game version. Many often post on the Forum wanting something to purchase. Might I suggest mega-ships allowing docking of player ships. Frontier actually offered this about two years ago but haven't heard from them since. Probably a balance thing between Solo, Group and Open modes.
But if Frontier works it out what will they cost? A maxed out combat Cutter can cost 1.5 billion. Maybe 3 billion for a stock mega-ship and another two billion to make it invincible. It will need to be invincible versus a massive rebuy loss with all those expensive engineered ships in the hangar. Only mega-ships versus other player owned mega-ships can defeat each other. Like current mega-ships the best PvE or even PvP ships in a group are only flies on the wind screen. They never destroy the mega-ship but can destroy the piloted ships leaving the hangar. Another balance issue.
Add in if Frontier ever lets us setup personal stations on a planet costing billions.Maybe none of this will ever happen but who knows the future of the game. Meanwhile I'll keep making credits just in case. If it ever happens I won't be posting on the Forum how it is too expensive.
Then again I'm still awaiting awesome looking atmospheric planets to land on. Frontier isn't talking about that either. I have to play FE2 or FFE to get my fix on a dedicated DOS computer just for Elite games no less.
