New stations

hey i was thinking itd be cool, to have more then one starbase, or mining station, or outposts, maybye not for every race, but at least for some, a varient, like maybye a dowgraded version of a starbase, as an out post, or maybye even a super starbase, and then for mining you could have a special one that could take 3 mining ships, or one that could have some weapons on it, etc....

Maybe stations could get something like "experience": Just by time, or if they transfer crew with experienced ships or if they get attacked but not destroyed some times. If a starbase collects experience it get's a star, which can later be traded for faster debarkation or stronger defense or so. I like that one. So maybe loosing stations in the later state of a game really hurts.

I think it would be cool if stations could "evolve" like in warcraft III. you can upgrade the main base there  and it also looks more sophisticated then. but there are probably much more crucial things to do at the moment...

yeah, that would be cool, like maybye upgrade it like ds9 was in the dominian wars, with a bunch of torpedo launches, i think itd also be cool to do that to torpedo turrets be able to upgrade those to, although you could argue for some races you should be able to do that to ships....

The systems of Starbase's already upgrade, adding it to the turrets would be easy. Isn't the ability to upgrade Turrets to your preference a Federation trait, though?

Changing the stations appearance would take a bit longer, since you need another SOD.

yes you are right, that does happen to be a fed trait..... hm... but actually you have to build the basis, and then chose to make it into one of 3 turrets, i wqish you could upgrade it afeter that tho, itd be nice to have manned turrets, kinda like a maned out post, that could build construction ships, and repair some smaller ships, but at a slower rate of course, but could be upgraded with better defenses, and add on turrets...

This is fleet operations imo not fleet rpg erations.

whats your point rhaz, ships already ghet expirience, and some can upgrade and refit, and get special weapons, so why not specialized station models, for different purposes, just like ships

I'd love to see a Fed Starbase added in.Like the one from the Next Gen.

yeah which is why this could be cool, each race could maybye have 2 0r 3 starbase, and mining varients, maybye even shipyards, where for instance, a mining yard is much cheaper and smaller, and minings wiht only one ship, but is easier to defend, or one starbase, has more offense, or somthing like that
