Here's an idea for other cmdrs and maybe Dev to get involved in: a player owned space station. Or a station owned by a faction of players. You can store your ships and equipment there, is a safe base to camp at AND brings in revenue from goods sold (well a percentage of). It runs the same as an NPC station but you can select the allegiance i.e. empire, federation, alliance or independant with relative tithes to that allegiance.
Obviously you cant just say you want a station, you have to gather maybe resources and a load of money, and the more money and resources means a bigger station which you can also build on. So you can add in landing pads and storage space etc which means more CMDRS can join your faction meaning more money and resource collection meaning you can buy another station and maybe "own" a star system.
This then adds the possibility of one faction of CMDRS wanting to overthrow another faction and thus a CMDR battle for a system can ensue; no NPCS allowed.
It would add a whole new level to the game because you can now have stations generating income for CMDRS as oppose to just flying about, as well as small wars and alliances being generated.
This is just an idea I discussed with my brother and we both felt it would work well in the ED universe. The space station and fleets of ship system already works well in the X-Universe but that is only single player. Imagine that gameplay in an MMO. You could also have competitions between factions too, as in who scores the most kills in a given period, who can trade the most or who can discover the best system WITH the added bonus of claiming that system for your faction.
Ok i had better stop now or my brain will burn out with crazy ideas.
It would be good to hear what other CMDRs think though and if ED DEV are reading this what you guys think coz you will have to build it lol.
EDIT : Ok now i realise it wont happen i can accept that and wish i had known this before posting . and yes i looked for this but didnt see anything about it .. and no i havent played EVE online so didnt know it was a similar idea.
