2.4 base builder?

[Schizo]

What if in 2.4 frontier added a base builder where you could build a base anywhere you wanted on any landable body?
If so, what would you want to be in the update for building said base?
Where would you build the base at in the galaxy?
What function would it serve?

God, no, please. no! Wrong game!

this is not NMS
this is not X
this is not.....oh forget it.


YAY BASE BUILDING!

Also, you can find small pocket-sized monsters all over the galaxy you can train to fight.

I don't think base building will be a thing in Elite, *ever*. It simply is not the focus of the game.

They have talked about deployable bases, which at the very most would come into play when space legs are implemented, and even then, I struggle to think of a function to them beyond eye candy.

A customisable hangout for you and your friends to store your gear/ships lightyears from the bubble, or a hub for powergamers to recieve AI generated missions for their chosen faction.

Just as long as it isn't some passive moneymaker, boring material generator, or something that adds EVE-like player owned businesses.

I would love player owned corporations, and buildable infrastructure on worlds or in space would be great eventually. Honestly, in general I would like more player effect on things like the economy but I gave up hope on that front.

I don't think mini player house type areas make any sense at all though, if thats what you mean.

I guess they would be cool if you could bomb and destroy them if you find them...

Big no on player owned corporations, unless it's extremely limited and temporary.

I like the design choice in making every CMDR a peer to another, and the background simulator to stay in the background. Player run corporations will damage all that.
