Bring back the classic "DODO" space station!

The classic Elite games especially for the 8 bit systems offered two famous space stations: the Coriolis one we all know so well and another one in short called the "DODO space station" looking like a dodecahedra. In the 16 bit Elite games those only appeared in the last mission where it was a Thargoid space station. All others were Coriolis. In Elite Dangerous the DODO space stations have never been seen anywhere. The question is: why? Here you see how the DODO space station looked like on the Commodore 64:

Not unlike the bird, they're extinct. The last time I can remember someone bringing these up, it was about 3 or 4 years ago, and there was a lot of support for the idea. Unfortunately, the suggestion fell on deaf ears... as most of the ones made around here do.

For what it's worth, I liked them a lot. I believe they used to be exclusive to high tech systems, and they would certainly add variety.
