Private planet side lodging.

Remember the Odyssey Trailer when the Anaconda flew over and landed. Ever since I have been wanting to find a place to build a small outpost, that I can call home.
I figure that eventually ED is going to let this happen. So, okay how much will it cost, what facilities does it need to operate (landing pad(s), power plant or generators, etc).
What about the cost of upkeep and maintenance. And most of all what happens when I wonder off exploring the galaxy?

Well I can only see it working the same as a Fleet Carrier but being stuck in one place on a planet if anything like this was ever introduced, but I can't see any point to it myself, but each to their own, I prefer my huge mobile base to a fixed location, that way I can move it to wherever my current interest lies.

Yeah, Gotta say, whilst it's easier to have a mobile base in a Carrier...it isn't secret.

Having a planet base would likely also not be secret if they ever decide to let players build their own outposts.

Personally, I'd like them to add a feature which allows me to turn off my Carrier's 'transponder' when stationary, effectively making it hidden on the maps (but not when you are near the planet).

That's a feature I wanted on FC's, being able to just dissapear among 400b stars would have been nice, but as it is if I get far enough out no-one comes visiting so that's almost as good, not perfect of course.
