Creating your own base....in a way....

[IiliI PEL IiliI]

Any chance we could have the ability to construct, at the very least, our own hangers and or storage outposts on any land able planet we see fit?

Here's how we would go about it, we need to gather X of so many different materials and take it to an NPC constructor who would then build you a hanger module, storage module or refuelling module etc...(some others may come to mind but I'm just jotting this down as its fresh in my mind or I'd forget to do it lol).

We would then have to transport this ourselves to our planet/moon in question and drop it off ourselves. The building mechanic might be similar to that of fallout 4s building functions and once in place they would be persistent in everyone's game...a permanent fixture. You would be limited to a certain amount of area per planet to avoid overloading the system/servers etc.

Others could visit your outpost and use its services too...if they fuel up, you would get a cut of the profits. If you need somewhere to store stuff, you take it to your outpost and keep it there rather than carting it around with you.

Plus it would be nice to have a place to call your home rather than simply adopting another factions station.

Who knows, maybe even have a hanger to store all of your ships!

I would like to see landable ELW first so we can do this on those planets

There has been talk since the outset of the possibility of player-based expandable asteroid bases (ie Rock Hermits). These would be more like personal garages and not like any of the bases or even outposts we've seen so far (as it should be).

However, it hasn't been officially brought up in a long long time. But I hope it eventually happens!

+1 I would love to be able to set my home in a lonely planet or inside an asteroid

It would be awesome for explorers to be able to fly out into the depths of space, set up your own outpost and assist in the great adventure!!

Imagine being 12,000lys out and stumbling across a fellow travellers mini base (land, save and remove that awful worry of death).

I too would like this.

and your thinking are along what we have been discussing on how this could work.


We all know this would be a terrible grin to gather resources to build our base... this would be a time sink. and more importantly, it could also be a great money sink, so they can stop worrying so much about the next money making scheme... How to avoid players flying around an Ananconda after 1 week playtime, is another thing that can fixed in a different way.



And we aren't that many players, so even if everyone got a quite large area on a moon, we would still have plenty of space left..... but I can understand that we would not be allowed to place our flag just where we would like. Some planet/systems would be off limit.

But I would like to design my underground hangar, and have all my ships on display here! Great first place for testing out spacelegs, both inside and outside our ships...



I would also like to be able give a select few friends of mine a permit to be able to land on my base. A permit I can revoke at any time as I see fit.

I talk about about single player bases. no guild halls or the like....

 

[IiliI PEL IiliI]

I like the idea of underground bases, maybe have a landing pad on the surface thus minimising the amount of graphical real estate on the surface and then the game could simply load up the underground base area. I should imagine this could easily be done.

A permit would be a great idea, requesting docking as usual and if you don't have a permit, undesirables would get blasted by your automated defence turrets (further optional guild with more resources).
