Player Owned Surface Port

[Jack_Swaggert]

With colonization added I want a player owned surface station added. I'd like it to operate like a fleet carrier with a massive warehouse and and player controlled commodities market.

It could be limited to one per player and available after a certain number of other construction projects have been completed.

It could have an upkeep fee similar to carriers that could be offset by the income from the systems economy.

Yes, it would be nice to have a real home in the game. Upkeep costs should be substantially cheaper than an FC's - it doesn't move around after all

Apart from not suffering from the jump timer issue I don’t see any benefit over an FC.

I imagine the thought is "more storage than an FC." New colony type comes out? Release these stored 50k CMM Composites to the market at a huge markup. Or maybe it's more benign, simply saving them until they're needed for your own construction. Also cheaper in credits and easier than juggling multiple accounts for multiple carriers.

No need for this. Unless other players are allowed to loot it.

By that logic there's no need for the carriers as they can't be looted or attacked.

There already is a building storage on carriers,currently suspended.
System colonization also.
Will these be enabled this week? no idea. Also I dont get why the next ship isnt the 2000t storage panter clipper. It makes sense to cash in the bulk carrier with release of this massive hauling grind.

Yes, we need a place to store goodies.
10000 Units will suffice.

We need our space sheds!
