How about generic planetary bases for commanders to buy?

And they can be very simple, using models that are already in the game.

In the FD store you could offer them. Small, medium, and large.

They could simply be standard bases like those in use, not even real bases, but like the little places where we used to go kill skimmers, with mainly a hangar and storage so we could move our ships and stored items there.

We would not even need to have fueling or starport capabilities.

We could fly to a station for that.

But I would happily part with $100 US, for a base with my name on a planet in a system of my choosing.

Basically just a place for my stuff, on a planet in a system I like, to where I could go BH, run cargo, search for materials, etc, in a system I have found that has everything I like to do.

The buildings could be generic buildings and no fancy stuff would be needed. Just hangar and storage space for my ships and stuff.

The only thing that would be unique but simple to implement would be my name on the signage.

Imagine going home to you own little planetary base before shutting down ED at bed time.

Heck, it would not even have to be listed in the gal map, just take my money, place my base on whatever planet in the system I choose, then email me the coordinates.

$100 dollars, sound good FD?

Might be the thing to help motivate me and help me fall back in love with ED again, light the spark so to speak.

$100 in the FD store, I can send it tonight, right now.

Think of the money you'd pocket, a lot of players would love their own little piece of property with their name on it.

I have $100 for you, just give me a hangar, a few generic stock buildings and blinking lights for looks and a sign with my name on it, on a planet you choose in a system I choose.

With all the systems, we'd never run out of space, even if everyone playing wanted a base in the bubble, and look at the hundreds of thousands, or even millions extra you'd make for something so simple.

I do not want this kind buyable stuff in the game.



I do love the idea of having a base that you could build/expand/re-arrange, etc, etc. I think a base on planets are probably better, as these could now actually add some rules about how many ships you have here, and if you want more ships, you have to expand your base.



I can accept that this new game mechanics could be a DLC, that you have to buy. but not buy a base for real money.....

ThAt would be awesome, thank you.
 
If you could have you'r own planatry base what would you call it, mine would be called Crackmafudin Point.

Tirrell's Place

Tirrell's Vision,
or perhaps Armegeddon with smaller words underneath that say "I don't know whats goin on, but I think Armageddon the heck outta here."
 
I wouldn't mind, but not for store $$.

I think it should be implemented in game for free, and limited to a system you actually already have your name on as "first discovered by." You would have to discover your own land-able planet/moon to have your base. Of course, that means probably outside the bubble somewhere, and would include refuel/repair/restock as standard. No shipyard, missions, outfitting, etc. (perhaps those could cost some credits to add). Might encourage a little more exploring and be a place to hang out in times of just wanting to relax away from the bubble grind.
 
You want planetary bases your playing the wrong game, No Man's Sky does that, and even up to 20,000 parts now per base as of NEXT, and you can own multiple bases. Elite will never see this. Too bad too... :(
