I say YAAAY to some changes in stations... (allthough some feeling tells me that will be arranged in the patch AFTER the Great Patch...
I also think they need to twig the scouts a little bit... UGTO have the assault scout that can be modded into a flux scout... I just think ICC and Kluth deserve sush a scout too... Not a flux scout but something different they all fear =)...
But don't touch the Stinger!!!!

Well formed idea!
Upgrading the whole station concept will lead to different ways of tactical and strategic playing. Being honest, I never understood what the whole point was of having such weak stations. I mean, look at those GOTHA-3 battle stations in Star Wars able to take on 3 star destroyer simultaneously.
The thought behind is obvious. A battle stations needs to be able to scatter 1 battelship in notime. After all, its supposed to be the heaviest category fractions can build. So go on and upgrade them to ultimo!

i like it...
but i would implement something like an mobile barrack for that station with 25x troop ...
you would need metal oxigen and maybe some 3rd res, which would be stored in a quantitiy of 250 or so to build inf. every 2 minutes an inf pops out and you need transporters to deliver the res to the station...
change res to be only transported by trannies so now combat can deliver it...
would be very cool in a mv without jumpgates and without scenario server cuz you dont have to fly to a another system to get new inf..

like the idea but like what other people are saying would like to see more missiles lots more like 10 it or in kluth psi for longer range since it cant move
and also any good idea will take about 5 years to be implimented since the dark space teams seem to be stoned all the time and cant really seem to get things dun quickly

Well i heard you say about the lack of serious long range weapons so on popular demand added some IT's to the humans and increased the Psi on Kluth.
Of course the will go at the cost of torps 
But please keep in mind that the added fighters are whit the new types in mind so they should be VERY effective when they come out

I think making them immobile is a good idea, same with making them stronger. It should require a fleet to take one down. However, they are also too easy to get. They'll be a little more difficult in the next patch, put still fairly easy to obtain.
If they are immobile, we will need a way to deploy them, other then the shipyards. So, I propose an addition to the Engineer class.
The Platfrom Engineer
It comes with its own special build, that can not be replaced, or used by any other faction. This build would fit in with the Platforms addition patch, as it would build these Platforms.
As well, it would be able to build the stations. Stations would then require an x amount of resources to build. This way, they can be built in deep space as well. These can even help with tradeing between systems that are too far out, and don't have all the neccessary resources in the system. This makes it a little easyer to trade between, say Van Maanen, and Wolf. The station would act as a tradeing center between systems that are too far out. Anyway, this makes them easyer to deploy, then simply poping out of the shipyards.
You'd require Gold Engineer, Gold Transport.
And Fleet Admiral rank.
You would be able to take control of these stations, or it would be controlled by an AI. (This would not be hard to implement. All it would do is repair any friendlys that stopped by, and itself, and shoot any enemy that goes by. Kinda like a Depot, DBase mix) Obviously, they would be killable. These can also serve as jumping off points for invadeing enemy systems. This can be done by making them act like a sort of Shipyards. They would be visable from a large distance, say, 50,000 gu, so that enemy fleets can find them more easily. They are captureable, but if controlled by AI, it can be implemented that there is a chance the station will self-destruct to avoid capture. And they would have infinite supply.

Platforms are for 1482 if i remember correctly.
the way to deploy em is just jump/worm your way to your target simple.

maybe we should ditch player-controlled stations altogether; or:
docked FA's could control the station, which could serve as docking platform.. just an idea..

if you can't move, how do you orbit to refill your drones (ultra-precise jump?), how do you avoid jump gates if you come out of one? you'd be doing lots of double/triple jumping.

the problem is if you talk about jumping no care about direction how you gona fly the station if you have 1GU/s
btw i dont think you have noticed your own on that first hive station
[qoute]
Cloaking device 1x ECMm 3x
Reload 2x IE drive 6x
Autorepair 1x Tachyon Drive*wormhole* 1x

[/qoute]
