Do you think one day SOE will give us the possibility to create our own space stations?
Player cities were a great addition to the game, but it doesn't feel very Star Warsy. Already we don't have the ability to add roads and cement on the grounds, all cities are surrounded by trees, grass and mountains... I feel like I'm playing a Fantasy MMORPG!
And well space is nothing more than a PVP battleground and Quest oriented area! It would be great if players could build their own Spacestations, start their own Spacebar or just a Space mansion! Decorate it to their own desire, and any by-passers or advertisement space locations, people could dock on your Spacestation and visit it!
This would add so much more to Space!!! So yeah,then space is gonna be filled with player space stations all over the place, but that's why SOE has to make sure owning a Space Station is a bit more pricy than a regular house on a planet!!!

The ground game is super cluttered as it is. I do admit that there is a lot of nothing for me to do in space after I leveled up but then again with the exception of combat when in space in the movies there wasn't much going on there either. In some cases a lot more random traffic closer to the planets and all but for once...by accident...we ahve something SOMEWHAT star wars like.

Guild space stations would be nice, would have to be a reward or something to limit numbers and only PA leaders can put them down, probably wont see player owned space structures for a while.

well I think we wouldn't need space stations if we could get lots of large capital ships. They would act like space stations but only if a player was there so the galaxy would not get filled with space stations. Either that or just make it super hard to get it and make it cost a ton to build one so only large guilds can run them let alone man. Also make a limit of how many in a system but if you do that you should also make it so they can be destoryed in some way like bases.

On player built space stations, you should be able to rent or buy apartments and parking spaces in the station. If you don't have one you have to pay a docking fee. There could be shops and a cantina for visitors.

Player cities were not a great addition when it all boils down to it. These things only helped to seperate players, and generate local loyalties above all. They hurt the community do not be fooled to think that they helped they did not. They are not even pleaseing to look at block after block of house after house. They generally clutter the landscape, and make it so fellow players do not have to interact. Sometimes I go to coronet to pretend I am around other people. When you go to a player city and see three or four people standing around you clue in. There are fifty people on the planet screwing around in a player city useing shuttles to go shopping and so on.
What would be nice is for there to be an alpha space station just big enough to have a cantina a medcenter and a bank in it plus the local mission givers. So as to save lag and time for players that are doing space missions. Now that would be acceptable.

no. It would be too much clutter. But it would be cool if there were guild space stations since there are less guilds.

Maybe also have it like ships were you have to get it out. And some one has to be in it. Use it as a station people could lanch from and get repairs closer to the battle.

I would Rather see it so a Guild can have it own spacestation, and inside you have like rooms for every member more or less. Of course some Cantinas and shops as well. And then Limit it to 1 spacestation per guild and maybe 2 - 3 PA Spacestation per Sector, that wouldn't make space all cluttered. Or even make it as a reward to PAs that has existed for along time, so no new PA just can build it in space. Say you have to have a PA up and running for atleast 6 months before you can make a spacestation, and of course it should be very expensive almost so it's not worth it if you don't have good and steady income from it. This makes it so that space won't be cluttered but yet make it a goal that most would want to reach, cause the last thing I want is to make space as cluttered as some planets. Cause on Chimaera south of Coronet is like a big city except the fact that it isn't a city players have just set up their houses their. And that destroys some of the illusion of Star Wars.
