Me and Elly use a large piece of scrap metal, with what seems to be a sealed off column on the side, as a place to stash our pirate characters. It's in Colorado. We /stuck ourselves into it, then F1 (of course, done for RP purposes, when no-one else is around). We may soon do a story revolving around it.
The idea is that the ships are docked on derelict mooring points, within the interior. The sealed off column is, in RP, a salvageable place that we restored life support to.
Of course, we might soon be moving to the single module, in Pennsylvania, that you mentioned was in orbit of a planet.
Yeah, we ended up moving to the penny wreck. It's pretty cool. We actually have another person living there too, iRP - some freelancer we met named James.Garret. It's all working out pretty good.
I support people making use of these wrecks...just not ours :P
There's a busted up Council station in Champagne that might fit the bill. It's a bit of a flashpoint, and was damaged in raids by the GRN. I vaguely remember reading that people no longer lived there, so it could be ripe for a hunkered down crew of Council/Maquis resistance fighters, holding the line against the GRN.
