Hollowed/porous asteroid bases (pirate asteroid bases)

[Attis]

As the title says, I think it would be cooler that the generic outposts we currently see.

The idea came mostly as I want more interesting places to fly in and around with with smaller ships.

Flying in space, cool as it is, is pretty linear.

Other ideas would be to makes the entrance to the pirate base asteroids (or their passages) too small for say ships larger than Cobra and offering near 75-100% on stolen goods at black-market – giving incentive to owning smaller ships as I feel all ships should always be viable and that bigger should not always be better in every way.

Anyways, just a thought. Please comment or bump if you like the idea.

If you read the book 'Mostly Harmless' by Kate Russel, a pirate base is featured in that, I was kinda hoping FD would include that idea as they have included other features from the book

You should check out Ashley's concept art!

Asteroid bases are planned and do have concept art http://s1305.photobucket.com/user/FrontierAshley/media/eliteshepherdmoon.png.html?sort=3&o=142 they just aren't in yet.

There's a whole bunch of other stuff that's been made as concept art as well.
