Ok, i know it is old but i had similar idea, with this new player spawned bases it could be possible, here are the alternate ideas i had
1.they should be cheaper but destructible like mission spawned bases
2.you know when you sell something to the base and it stays in the market board until you leave it, how about if it did not disappear when you leave market board, but stay there in the same amount, buying selling prices would by default on 0, so it would so it would essentially serve as storage.
3.it would only contain imported commodities.
4.Only those with password can enter but everyone can destroy them.
5.there would be 5 different categories, all in asteroid and regular shape:
A.outpost-50 mil, has only strength to stop few LF-s, regularly only for freelancer and such to be used as home-base
B.Small base-200 mil-has strength to stop VHF swarm
C.Medium base-400 mil- has strength to drive off small fleets with fighters, gunboats and a 1-2 cruiser
D.Large base-1 bil -has power to drive off most fleets wit no more than 2 BS
E.Huge base. 2 bil -has power to drive off almost any fleet, even fully fledged battlefleet
this can be supplemented with weapon platforms and shipyards.
I saw you walking down the streat, your eyes, your lips, your nose, everything was so perfect. I started singing "who let the dogs out."
