Does anyone know, or has heard if they are going to have space stations? I went to fanfest and i think i heard one of the devs say they were going to do it eventually... Has anyone heard anything?

they already stated in many interviews amongst other things that they will eventuly make Space Stations that get added in with JTL will be working at a later date, as the same case with ships, so we wont be able to walk around space stations or ships that we can dock at for quite a while yet, until they add the content in, in a Major Publish, right now thier just concintrating on geting the ships in and working amongst that the missions and componants and the 2 new spieces, thaught would have liked to have the Space station open for JTL luanch so we could walk around and get repaired up thier etce but oh well lol.

The only thing we've been told about space stations is that you can't enter them as of yet.

The space stations etc that will be in the game, you wont be able to enter/dock with etc until after the Devs have added the interior of the Stations, the outer skin etc is completed but not the Inerior, as im aware its just a bare shell atm lol or from what I can gather, but maybe 2-3 months after JTL has been out we will get the option.
Tink I remember the Devs saying thier wont be any living accomadation available in space at all, Ever because they want planets to be used, PA'S will not own Stations etc, maybe Space Mining might be in eventuly, who knows.
Players having thier own space structures is extreamly unlikely, due to the fact they want space to be lag free really lol. also many other reasons

I think thats another reason why they are going to be just shells at launch...so the dev's can make them worth visiting when they are completed

I think they want stations to be meeting places between pilots as well as having mission terminals in them from diffrant factions and contact for verius quests, as well as Vendors were you can sell your loot would be a ncie feture. Posible some Ship repaire terminals that SW'scan operate to repaire player craft etc, might be nice.
Thats probably what they will end up being used for, and some station being used as Factional Dungeuns to be either destroyed to or capture, most likely Capture, things like Shipyards perhaps or an asteroid duengoun base.

My question is this: Can players own space stations? If so would it be similar to the way Player cities are set up? Let the speculation begin

They've said that they want to add them, but they're not going to be in launch for sure.

Now I know there will be three types of space stations: Imperial, Rebel and Neutral. My question is, what will be their function? Will you be able to land on them, o rwill they just be battle props like the star destroyers? If you can land on them, will they be Earth and Beyond style, or basically floating cities?
I for one would love to see a fully operational space station bussling with life. Rebel/imperial/pirate NPCs running around preparing for an attack or a cargo offload or soem such event like that. I see real potential to make the game seem a lot more alive and I hope the devs don't pass it up.
