If you chose the repair option then maybe a 10 minute repair would be put in place to sort of force people to stay on the station for a while to keep it from becoming a barren wasteland. Also, here you would find all of the ammenities that you get at a starport, the chassis dealer,shipwright trainer, and even a shuttle for when youdon't have a ship, how convenient!?!




ive seen this in E&B and if they can do it, anyone can. this would be a great feature to implement, and it would add tonnes more immersion than just clicking option boxes. and im sure everyone would love it.

yep, i was in E&B form beta to end but you could check out the different paint texture types as well, what different weapons, and equipment looked like. This would allow you to costumize your ship a bit.

Those are good ideas but I don't think they should work on this stuff until they add more content to the game. IE something to do in space that makes being up there fun. Once you complete all the missions there isn't much to do up there.

Personally I'd like to see them drop PvP damage to 25% and make Deep Space a battleground that starts over every hour (or however long it take for the battles to finish) and lets players participate in a GCW space battle. Have space be empty, then ISD's warp in (start with 1 for now) Then 5 or 6 rebel corvettes drop in and try to destroy it. Some NPC fighters show up as well to assist but basically have that little battle take place over and over again. With PvP damage at 25% it should make player to player combat last about as long as PvE combat so the battles won't feel pointless.

As more content can be added they can make the battles different each time, Instead of lots of corvettes, have a few medical frigates vs a ISD, or lots and lots of Gunboats vs a Bunch of Corvettes. I think that is what players want, a place in space to have fun and just blow stuff up.

Awesome ideas, would lift the whole game extremely! Hope they will concentrate on things like these after the CURB and GCW revamp (maybe a part of the GCW revamp?)


A versatile idea, cause practically no-one dissagrees on a change like this, no one will become unhappy.

I thought I would bump this up again because of the new Expansion coming out. This idea should be entirely implemented,
