Can we build little planet side docks yet?

[SamSlade]

I'm just looking at getting back into ED and was wondering if we could build/lease little planetside outposts on planets we've discovered yet?

 

[SlickPBW]

No

 

[SteveWW57]

We wish.

We just make do with ones that we can move around from one orbit to another.

Will never happen.

Unlikely to happen. At one point, FDev announced that we could buy skins for our personal weapons, suits, carriers and buildings. The 'buildings' part was swiftly removed when this word was noticed by the community.

I was wondering if I were to find an out of the way planet and dump modular terminals or other stuff that I will need in the future but don't want it taking up space now. Will it be there when I come back? It's always possible someone might find it but there's a lot of empty space out there.

No it will evaporate when the instance collapses when you leave.

 

[Eric Palmer]

Thanks that's a shame.

Saves you a fine for fly tipping.

You need a carrier, or a friend with a carrier who will buy and sell them back to you later.

@Darrack
A fine!?
The sentence should be death for such a heinous crime!

This is better than a planet side outpost.
They're moveable, Carriers are effectively player housing.

I made outposts in Starfield I've never returned to. Outposts/docks are neat ideas for that one time visit, but would be like fleet carriers littering the galaxy as users abandon them.

But I sell a lot of building schematics to someone lol

I don't know - I enjoyed building trade networks in SF (until they go horribly wrong, but that's just SF ). Adding manufacturing networks into ED would have been nice, but I can't see them adding them now.

Problem with outposts in a multiplayer game would be players would immediately decide to cover a planet in them 'to see what happens'. And draw rude pics with them - "look you can see it from space!"

Probably much worse after all you can take an FC with you when you move on in the game.

Thing is, any ground settlement should have a reason for being there, and be able to sustain itself. Or a CMDR can maintain it as their gameplay. Probably not a positive though.
