Player designed stations

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but thought it would be a great idea to allow players to design their own stations / outposts / planetary landing sites. Release some sort of development kit (at a small charge to support the game). A sort of Minecraft - but Elite style.

Therefor get the community to create hundreds / thousands of places to visit to allow some sort of variation in the game. Not sure how feasible it could be, but would certainly help involve the community in adding their stamp to a fantastic game. And there are plenty of systems to go on... billions of them... the designers can't do it all by themselves.

And wouldn't it be great to design a station with your name on it to attract tourists from across the galaxy !

While I like this idea myself. I think that the system uses Procedural Generation (PG) to create the stations and Outposts (also planetary landing areas to one would assume) these are seed numbers that define a starting point, then some factor that decides size, so in theory as a place gets richer / busier, it should get bigger too. Well, that's the theory.

So, I would like to see something more like people owning an outpost, and building it up somehow. A charge is made for landing, small taxes, whatever, I think a lot of players would really enjoy playing that sort of game. Sim Outpost.
