Do you ever think we can have stations as buildable planets? You know, have a big station model the size of a small moon, (station model is not having a likeness to any of the three factions) that is buildable upon like a planet? Here's my idea.
One station the size of a small moon orbiting a planet in replacement of a
real moon. Station: Has 100 Habitat, 20 population, 20 food. Anything
except for mines can be built on the station. The station has no resources.
You build it like a regular planet, except for the fact that it has to get its
resources via starport, or the ship directly unloading hte resources onto
the station. So you can build factories, research labs, defense/fighter
bases, Shipyards, and the like. The station wouldn't be round like a planet,
( I really hope it isn't) and I've been thinking of station models of the like of
the Federation stations (i.e. Port Kane) in Escape Velocity Nova. So you
would ahve to tilt the camera angle a bit, but I think that won't be a
problem. I think this is a cool idea, and I hope it will be implemented. I've
always wanted to see stations of the like in EVN, with defense bases, firing
IT misssles and launching fighters and the like. Sheild generators too, if
ICC. I would love to see stuff like this in Darkspace. Well, that's my idea,
and I hope it isnt bumped down without anyone at least skimming it.

That's right Dem, I'll start signing my posts too!

Stations need to look like the Star Trek stations. Period.

amangin a planet atation with defence and fighters bases heaing toward you, Would you like to be on its firing side? I like the ideal BUT it can be expolted WAY to easly a Limit to the defence AND fighter bases is a MUST!!! Otherwise it is a very nice ideal.

I don't like the idea of these things having their own shipyards. If they can have them, they need to be strictly limited --- like only able to spawn scouts, or at MOST (and we're REALLY stretching it here), frigates. Furthermore, the stations would have to be even slower with a shipyard on... and the shipyard would have to take up a lot of diamonds on the station, which would have to have limited space.
Other than that, though, the idea sounds cool. But, the fact that such a ship would be horribly slow (unless new/different types of buildings are added for the stations, which could include like speed boosters (which would require much power) and the like) makes me think that not people would want to pilot one.
Furthermore, if anything, this should be limited to Grand Admiral... and that requirement would mean that everyone that posted in this forum wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

DarkSpace Events? I think you were aiming for suggestions, so I moved this there.
Let me know if I'm just confused...

Don't think this was an event idea, Nafy.
