Ive seen two types of space station out in the big black. The big 'traditional' station and the smaller 'platform' type. Apart from things like Nav Beacons, what other man made objects are floating around out there??

Also, what objects would you like to see? Heres a few ideas of mine,

Space Station built into an asteroid, maybe a lage mining facility.

A Space Dockyard where Capital ships are built and repaired.

Military installations.

Prison Fortresses.

Pirate Bays.

I think it would be cool to see a few other structures mankind has built while colonising the stars.

Personally I'd like to see destroyed stuff - exploring, you find all these asteroids. How about some of them being the remains of destroyed planets?

You'd scan and find bits and pieces of cities or the like on some of them - evidence of ruins.

I'd like to see the old Dodo stations. They used to be in the high tech systems in the original. We have the Coriolis, but no Dodo's :(

I'd love to see a dock-able Dyson Sphere.

And of course the odd item out of various Sci-Fi movies/films/series but I'm doubting they would get permission.

Space elevator? Electromagnetic catapult on moons or asteroids to fling ore or cargo to a processing station (they could be intercepted en route perhaps?)

Perhaps its because we can't step outside ships yet, but I'd like to see more evidence of places that cater as a kind of space 'truck stop'. Something more aimed at looking after people, rather than ships and cargo.

No trading, basic refueling and repairs. A bar or three, accommodation etc etc. Maybe an enterprising Independent faction sets up a small station near a Resource Extraction Site to cater for the local miners.

I think back to playing Freelancer, and how much it helped the immersion to drop by a bar after you dock to pick up contracts and talk to locals about news from the base/system/surrounds.

Factories and space resorts, where players could engage in hauling finished products, needed resources and tourists, and earn a good buck.

A Dyson sphere is just a giant swarm of solar energy satellites. I think you mean Dyson shell​.

Im liking the suggestions so far. These are the sort of things that could add a lot to the immersion of the game.
I just thought of having the Space Station on a kind of Capital ship, surrounded by other large and small vessels, The remnants of a colony forced to flee their homes after an attack or planatary catastrophe.

I would love to see half blown up station or half built. On a larger scale how about mining debris from a half exploded planet.

I wouldn't mind some Monoliths around planets for the explorers like the giant one that was around Jupiter. :)

I would like to see shanties and ghettos, groups of low tech poor crap cobbled together by the survivors of failed or abandoned stations.
Also would just generally like to see the orbit space a bit more crowded with stations.
