Hey this idea is not gameplay related in any way.... It's just for eyecandy. Let me explain it...
I think it could be great if we get a randomised base building system for all factions.
That means if you want to create a starbase just as example you wil be either getting the regular starbase which is used in FO already or another one which will have all the same abilities like the original starbase has just with a different model.
This system could be enhanced slowly patch by patch. It would surely give the entire thing a whole new level if there are plenty of different buildings in a randomised way available. In the end when you have 2 factions of the same kind in a match their bases will still look different most likely even if all the different buildings serve the same specific task.
Models are also enough available for all factions. For example Armada1&2 stock models which just needs to be upgraded to FO standards with enhanced textures and all the different mapping and glow effects FO uses.
I came to that idea when I recognised that I really miss the huge Starbase Armada 1 had. In TNG & the trek movies you saw plenty of those.

While it could make the game file larger as download I don't see any big problem here.. modem and ISDN days are finally over and so it shouldn't matter. Like I said this could and should be a low priority side project assuming that you like this idea and it's actually working after all.

Sounds like an interesting idea, there's plenty of stations in other games that could provide inspiration.
The Federation Spacedock is planned to be in a later version in a currently undecided role, but will most likely be a Map/Event station. That monster of a Starbase is the largest station ever put into the show (assuming the Borg bases are multiple stations connected, not a single station), it would take about 20 games to build one.
