is my base and storage depot and have it actually BE my base and storage depot?
(maybe with like bigger hangar buildings for my ships)
hopefully someday...
When will I be able to stop pretending this....

Its sems you have already a base of that size... 
It would be absolutely amazing to have home bases, I'm all for it
Yes please, I think this will happen in time, hopefully with the ability to get out and walk around, in the right gear of course.
Only? So if it can't be you'd cross your arms and say "no way"?
I'm not against the idea, (would just encourage me to place it somewhere strategic
) but if they decided it had to be instance specific for you, then so be it.A home base (be it planet side or in an asteroid ala Rock Hermit) is something we really do need. Especially as we get more and more things to collect (ships, materials for crafting, upgraded parts we might want to store).
FD have said before they'd like to allow for the creation of expanding asteroid stations (again ala Rock Hermit) and I hope they do. I really do.
Imagine the Forum Rage after that started happening to people
FD have stated they want storage of some kind to happen this season. We just have to wait and see.

Small, innocuous, no attraction to anyone but a thief. If this could be the extent of it. If it could stay an individual thing, I could go for that. We'd still need bases/outposts for refueling, repairing, rearming and buying new items. The idea I heard from FD was more 'inflatable' than 'expanding', but that is mostly a semantics, wording issue. You buy it once and it's done. Sure that could be fun.
It really doesn't matter to me one way or the other. The game is not a competition or a race to own the most stuff, so it doesn't affect me if someone wants to horde stockpiles of stuff.
While it's a cool idea.
Most of the downsides to ED stem from lack of servers. So I highly doubt FD will implement such a cool personal stash/base. Because 100,000s of them would probably kill the servers eventually. Lol

OP have you adopted a permanent POI?
Nice
no unfortunately. Actually IF POI could be permanent i'd probably do it..... cause its the kind of RP i'd be into.
I was just taking nice pics and then it occurred to me that it looked like i was just parked outside of home. But i mean yeah having a base has been something i've wanted for a long time. I'm not talking about a whole space station to myself. Just a kind of small settlement like that would be perfect. And if ever we get to get out of our ships, on foot i mean, it would be nice if you could have some sort of apartment on a space station at least with maybe also a hangar for your ships. A hangar you could walk around in. Mind you, if you've got a corvette and anaconda and all those, you'd probably need a rather gigantic hangar. every time i get out of my clipper i'm still impressed at how big it is, and it's not even close to a corvette.
And while i'm sorta on the subject...why can't we have shipyards on planets? i'd REALLY like to make my home base (meaning where i store all my ships) be planetside. Any extra reason i can have to get down on those beautiful Horizons planets...
I think one of the main thing for me i can see with like having a base and all, is that...i'd like to have something else to put my money in that isn't just a new ship. Because at this point i have over half the ships in game and frankly the novelty of flying something new has gotten a bit old. I don't have a fdl, or python, or anaconda, but i know once i get there ill be thrilled for about a day and then will go like "ok so what's next..." anything else FD can give us to work towards would be good to me. I have to say i'm a huge fan of any game in which i get to make/build./customize my own little corner of the world. Obviously it being ED, i'm not asking it becomes this kind of Space engineers type game. As long as i can just buy a place and maybe do minor customizations to it. It's not the land that's missing in this game....there's only about billions of kilometers to work with. No chance of things getting crowded anytime soon.
No more so than the hundreds of thousands of bases already present. I think you overestimate the difficulty involved.
Absolute worst case scenario is that they limit the where/how of it, so that it's not persistent in the universe to everyone, but only to you in your instance. This can be accomplished by, for example, limiting it to asteroid fields or rings. In those cases it doesn't need to be saved on a server as a persistent object, it's just fine to have a homing beacon for you to find it, but nobody can possibly stumble on it by chance, so it's okay for people not to be able to find it unless they're with you in your instance. (the annoyance would be if it was on a planet which you can give specific grid coordinates on and someone goes there and finds nothing)
Rep + 1 With a storage system like this they could sell additional storage space in the shop as this is a luxury and helps them generate more revenue. Cosmetics for your base or hanger w.e That's more cash items that we bargained on .. nothing game breaking nothing that gives another an edge. Ima get hated for suggesting cash shop items [money] but this game is great and with some extra cash to further the development, well I'm all for that. (How about some Decal sets for the cash shop :x
)

People posting over and over about player owned stations is ludicrous - one would need the finances of a large government to do this, but OP is what my buddy suggested he would like to see months ago!
I love the idea of a small planetary (or space) based hangar.
A place to store all your ships, materiel, cargo, modules, refuel/repair/restock, etc.
I'd spend several hundred million CR for this, and it's in the realm of feasibility.
