Not to say that new ships won't be needed in the future, but one thing that will help bring a little GCW in to space, after the holiday season, Factional Space Stations!
Having a Station in space that can be defened, used as a Guild hall, and a center for in space resupply, will help start pilot guilds, and yacht clubs.

The use of Factional space stations could be a hiding place for Rebels/Freelance Pilots durring a major Imperial crack down. Granted there will be some people who don't have JTL, but I figure that by the time any add-ons are place din JTL most people will either have it, or not care to.
What are your thoughts about this?

If they were to use a faction based system, then it would make sence to do that. On the other hand if they choise to be more Guild Hall like, then it would be up to the Architect/ShipWright to choise the cost. My original post leaves this open for debate.

If there were to ever be any player controlled space stations I do not want them to be invulnerable guild halls or parking garages. They should act like faction bases, should be bought from recruiters and probably need to do some fance mission to be able to qualify to get it. Oh, and have pilot ace and whatnot.
Space is made for combat, not lounging. You want a space party hop on a yacht. I don't want to fly by Lok just to see a space station with a big neon sign saying "Eat at greasy joe's! Doctors buffing from 4 to 9pm daily!"
If it were a resupply station where if stocked by the people who own it to repair ships and restock ammo or even store goods (I'd like to be able to board a station and steal other people's stuff, hehe) then yay for that idea. If it's a place where people will start to afk spam on where to buy great comp armor, I'd stay on the ground... or open fire just for kicks.
In short: Space is made to go boom, not party.

Good point about the invulnerable thing, but if it's a declared faction station, then it would be attackable. Keep in mind though that this a station so you would need to board it to blow it up, or take it over.

Doctors buffing from 4 to 9pm daily!" What I'm advocating is being able to place bases in space for Guild/Faction use, I suppose if someone wants to do that they could, but it wouldn't do much good since you can't place vendors in space.

I do like the idea of being able to take supplies from unguarded base (even greater idea would to have the Smuggler be capable of doing this)
In short: Space is made to go boom, not party. Wouldn't it be neat to see a station go boom.

Factional Bases in Space, or attackable Guild halls would make a great addition to the game.
