Players should be able to purchase faction aligned space stations with faction and prestige points the same way they canwith groundbases(using prestige and faction will make it necessary to grind FP and prestige, which could both be done in space, which would cause more people to be up there fighting and PvP would be more prevalent).After being placed the Space Stationsshould be vulnerable for 2 hours for "construction" and they should have daily vuln times like ground bases do. To be taken down there should be an attacksequence or a 2 meter exhaust vent vulnerability that's open during vuln time OR players should have to dock with the space station and enter it and take it down much like ground bases need to be taken down. A tracking system similar to the ground game should be implemented to see who controls the systems and the privateers should have the ability to have their own faction, attackable by Imperials or Rebels. In order to be attacked by rebels the privateers need to engage in combat first and rebels fight back(only when declared, don't want any PKing in space that would suxor).

Anyone that reads this is welcome to add ideas lets try to make space more interesting and fun!!!

Nice thought but IMHO all we need is space to get crowed with space stations like the ground around major cities is now.

How about a set number to stations that factions can dock and then compete in a capture and hold type pvp thing for control.

How about weexpand on Terrick's idea. Make a space station like a city in space where merchants can set up shops and pilots can buy various ship componets and illegal spices and sliced weapons (whatever).

It wouldn't have to add to the clutter and lag in space. When you land at the station, you are transfered to a seperate server dedicated to the station. Imagine it to be a player city, but instead of tents, there are various stores or cubicals you can enter.

I would love to live and sell in space, but then I wouldn't want the enemy to be able to blow it all up.

We're talking about spacestations, not star destroyers. Nothing wrong with a spacestation where you can use your lots to set up residence or storefront. Even if it's not canon/timeline, spacestations are small and unimportant enough to slip through the cracks of canon.

A star destroyer however cool it would be to have your mall there is going a tad too far.

One requirement though: People without JTL should be able to get inside the station too, or running a shop there is much less attractive.

Personally, I think people without JTL should be able to fly aboard the MP ships and man the turrets. They might sell a couple of extra JTL copies and us full grown pilots have an easier time getting a crew for mp ships.
