Although the thought of having player-built stations is awesome, I just don't see it happening....maybe though...I love the idea =)
If player stations were allowable, then the cost and material requirements would have to be incredibly high to build...even for large PAs. I really like the idea in the sense that it would at least give the PA something common to work for, and would be a great credit sink for the game.
Once built, the station could be public, allowing income for maintainence from the general populace...A cantina, med center, etc...maybe some space mission terms....
I think these stations should be vulnerable to attack and destruction however...be it by random hostile npc attacks, or opposing faction attacks if the station is declared.A multitude of turrets could be mannable...
Also the station could be set up to use standard looted or crafted space components...of course there would be multiple slots for the reactors, shields, caps, and weapons...
There would be different levels of these stations, depending on xxx factors such as maybe another sink of money and resources, and a small wait (build) period for the upgrade.
Each level of the station would allow more shield/react/cap/weapon slots, and maybe extra rooms for different things inside...The highest level station would be practically indestructable, unless hit by a massive coordinated attack. Make it to where the visitors or residents of the station all have access to the turrets in case of any such attack.
Alot of extras could branch off of this idea...like an extra dry-dock component on high level stations that allows the building of capital ships...etc..
Anyway, I would love to see this go through!

Well, that would make sense if they added some empty space regions to travel to. But really as it is the space stations are right next to the planets. So, if a person needs to goto cantina or med center or meet with friends just land on the planet.
If there were additional empty space regions or perhaps in kessel or deep space a player space station would be useful. A player could land repair their ship, reload ammo, heal from the wounds from exploding ships.
