Military Space Stations

I think at least the more powerful Federal and Imperial systems like Sol should have at least one navel port, where you can only dock if you have a certain rank with that Faction. It could be a new design of station, housing a number of capital ships, with military vessels flying in and out all the time. And it could sell a new tier of military grade weapons components and upgrades (again, only if you have the rank to buy them) and give only military based missions at the Bulletin Board, from easy stuff like ferrying official cargo and documents to other outposts, to combat missions.

They could also add a Shipyard for flavour, where you can see capital ships being constructed or repaired.

Anyone agree?
 
I'd also like a military life option. Elite is marketed as "be whoever you want" but then you play and find out the rest of that sentence is "as long as you want to haul cargo." Seriously, why can't I work for the Navy, fly a Viper and kill pirates with the government paying the bill (like what I used to do for real). You'd either kill pirates, enemy bases, or haul cargo for military bases, but the money part would be void (as long as your govt could pay).
 
Excellent idea. Agree!
