I've dreamed about going onto a planets and exploring them with all the details they will have, but to be honest they are really empty and just some Little Things are there you can find, but imagine, if you could build on them your own stations... to be a trading post for many npc and real Players where they can sell and buy stuff, where they can sell ships, where YOU can say what the stations should have able to sale, like for example which ships and modules/weapons you have available... you get a small percentage from the sales... you Need to hire npc workers to keep the station alive... or build your own small outposts with workers that build them and you must hire... that is a retreat Point where you can store ships, modules and goods if they can be selled at good prices again... also they can be attacked by npcs or Players... you could trade with other playerbases and stations in your solar System or make transport routes from other stations to yours... to make the planets more alive... give your base a Name or the trading outpost a corporation Name and make loans for your workers remotely while you are on the fly through our milky way... Let your friends dock on it... and on and on and on of ideas what to make out of this System but honestly, we Need to make something on the planets and it would be extremely cool and one of my dreams to inspire or give ideas to the devs, the planets Need this to be exciting for more than 20 min!
Base Building on Planets would give the planets a real purpose!

- Start date
My problem with planets is that it takes far too long to land on them. I can fly to a station, land, take off and be halfway back on the return trip by the time I've landed on a planet. I avoid them as much as possible and only take missions that go to space stations. I have even abandoned a mission that had an update to take it elsewhere because the new destination was a planet.
If we could have player made bases on planets, it would actually give me a reason to fly to it. Otherwise, they are just ignored by me. Quite honestly, I'd still only use my own station on the planet, all the others would still be ignored because of the time factor.

Imagine all the phallic shaped bases!
Sorry, not my thing but just wanted to make that joke (and it WOULD happen). If it is something that gives people joy, by all means!
Just wondering - how would it be decided where you can build? And would there be a limit to the amount of bases per player? How about per planet?

The questions you ask would be up to FD to determine and of course, possible technical limitations.
