more customization of stations

[samboga]

The building aspect that colonization brings is nice. It would be nice to see more customizable aspects of port building. For example: being able to choose your station interior from those availbe instead of being tied to economy type. As the system architect it would be a nice perk.

Personally I want to see the lighting outside being customisable.. Imperial stations have a certain blue lighting, federal stations red and alliance stations green. If you're an independent you're stuck with some sort of ugly default grey or white. Give us the damn LED's fdev

Red or green exterior lights could make things confusing.

I definitely agree. A few paintjobs are...the options we have. I would love to customize the lights and landing pads, like on a fleet carrier. I could see an argument against changing the actual interior as it's tied to station type, but I would like to see it too.

Agreed. An argument could certainly be made that interiors reflect economy and should be maintained for continuity. That being said it’s really just a cosmetic aspect. Seems that, if you’re going to give someone a perk of some kind for all that work of hauling, cosmetics would be the way to do it without substantially changing any mechanics.

I don’t think the docking bays differ much if at all between the Coriolis and Orbis/Ocellus (feel free to correct me if that impression is wrong), so it wouldn’t be too noticeable if you could change them to your liking. But it might potentially cause issues if say you wanted an asteroid base interior inside of a non-asteroid base if there is anything non-visual to it, like collision models and whatnot (and we all know the docking computer loves to seek out easily avoidable objects).

Or the other way around, at that… plus it might look a bit strange to go into a full metal interior of an excavated (ice) rock.
