#Build your own space station!

Flying around from station to station getting bounties, loading up storage bays just to sell em all (or what I do, build a temporary tail of extra storage bays onto my ship) made me think how cool it would be if you were able to build your own space station. It would act as like a "home base" for you. Cool feature ideas/reasons below!

-It could act as a home base where you can store extra resources, or potentially additional ships. Especially nice with FTL being able to jump back there!
-* * *Would be really cool in co-op multiplayer, having a shared base/storage bays for you and your friend(s).
-Could add the ability to remotely accept bounties/missions from other nearby stations.
-Could be able to be attacked by AI pirates, factions, etc (potentially raided by enemy players depending how that works).
-Could have unique modules, such as the Cockpit being replaced by a module that gets the missions, etc.
-The station could even be crewed by only AI crew members based on what modules you have. (For example, putting a small laser on the station adds 1-2 station crew). Station crew only work on the station, not your ship.

Seems like a cool idea, just thought I'd throw it out there if it hasn't already been considered. Great game! 😄

It's a really good idea, but crew may be a problem, i don't really know if having station-specialised crew is a good idea

Well otherwise you might need to transfer some of your own, and then you would be splitting your crew between your actual ship and the space station.

Perhaps a better suggestion would just be "automated station modules", or something of the sort.
