Construction / repair jobs?

Half-stealing an idea from Reddit.. I always thought it'd be cool to be able to do menial jobs in the ED universe.. Construction of stations. Repair work. Cleanup of micro-debris. etc.

A ship like in the linked article (ok, it's just an SRV with the legs & wheels chopped off) would be great. Or delivering cargo from pad to pad in an SRV while watching ships zooming overhead? (note to self - how boring am I?)

If you're out of money, you can choose to spawn in a tiny ship and do menial labour to work off your debt, or just go for the bankruptcy / Sidewinder option. Or perhaps if you're destroyed in a Wanted/Hostile system, you have to do community labour. Maybe if you're a good enough pilot, you might be able to sneak into the dock, get into your own ship and escape.

I think it'd just be one of those things that would give the universe a sense of scale.
