ED is already Eve.
They both have mining, PVE combat in instances, dull missions, trading.
Why doesn't Frontier create some different content? Quit being the same as every other space game. Do something new and different.
Make it like EVE

ED is basic in terms of emergent gameplay and player-driven sandbox features compared to Eve Online though. Elite Dangerous needs things like proper Guild Support and build and manage stuff like an outpost for the end-game.

How do they own stuff like bases in EVE? What control do they have over them?/
Well any player can start a player managed organization called a Corporation. It's the same as a guild in other MMOs with a guild bank (storage of guild items for all members). The players of a corporation can build an outpost which is like a home, marketplace and to claim an area in space.
An outpost is a player-constructed station that can be constructed in the lawless regions of null-sec space. These outposts then serve as the base for the corporations and alliances that build them, acting as forts, marketplaces, and home, all rolled into one. Any corporation that controls an outpost is considered to be heads and shoulders above those that do not.

Now players can build and manage huge stations called Citadels. They're very expensive (trillions of credits) so only large corporations and alliances can afford it.
Last month, EVE Online released its latest update, Citadel, introducing indomitable new structures that pilots could build to better defend their space. Coming in three different sizes, these citadels are capable of dealing extreme damage against even the most coordinated invading fleet. Since Citadel's release, Hard Knocks have made EVE Online history three times. First, they built the first Fortizar-class large citadels. Then they celebrated by blowing up someone else's. And then, two weeks ago, they made history one more time when they announced the arrival of their Keepstar-class extra large citadel—the biggest structure in all of EVE Online at this time.
Meet the Keepstar citadel (above), the first of its kind anywhere in New Eden. This monstrous fortress is 800,000 meters squared and is the only one in existence in EVE that we know of. It's so large that titans, the massive supercapital ships of EVE, can safely dock within its bays. Along its outer hull lies eight slots where anti-capital ship weapons are fitted, waiting to gut anything that gets too close. The crown jewel is a devastating weapon of mass destruction, one of EVE Online's "doomsday" weapons. With just the push of a button, Fort Knocks fires a beam of energy that bounces between ships, obliterating an entire armada in one fell swoop. Fort Knocks isn't just a weapon, it's practically an entire city, and it took Hard Knocks trillions of ISK (EVE's currency) and months of planning to build.

i would be fine with minor player owned things like say a cap ship we can use as a mobile storage unit and have to fuel it via either buying fuel from stations or fuel scooping from a star and transferring directly to the cap ship. you also can only jump to nav points and other stars in system with the cap ship.
also fine with owning small asteroid bases we can build.
im a nay for owning big stations/ outposts unless you spend a amount equal to a community goal in shipping materiel to build said station. and said installation must not orbit something that already has a asset in orbit.
