Just a random thought but- since we can build bases and rent fleet carriers, why not open it out to everything else we have had in ED?
For example: megaships- these could be the space going equivalent of installations that are built like FCs but act as passive income generators as they fly about (maybe have Gnosis like waypoints)? The limitation being they cannot hold ships and are for commerce. Since there are so many designs each one could act as some sort of player driven in system BGS / PP2 buff (which can also be attacked too). In this way, players / guilds (or whatever VG is) could control fleets of large non pilotable ships that can help systems.
Jaques Station- these are the top level thing to own- better than an FC and able to jump far further in one go. The downside being the cost to build and a proper Vanguard level asset.
