Super simple. the SOE is their own faction, thus deserve their own station aesthetics, and now with Rhea we have them already made, so it ought to be fairly simple to replace their stations under their sovereignty with the new model. I'd love a refresher to the look of the same stations in Arnon, Osmon, and Apanake, considering i spend so much time in them.

Also, is anyone else confused when we talk about the Expansion and think we're talking about the JF?

Unfortunately many capsuleers won't be able to make it to/in Thera, either for lack of decent ships, decent skills, or decent friends.
On one hand, i agree that there should be more unique systems in EVE. There are only a handful, and as it is many of the 7K systems are much the same tactically.
On the other hand, Thera is already SO unique. For goodness' sake it's a Wormhole system with STATIONS.
I believe updating the station models of the existing SOE stations would greatly benefit those who work for the Sisters, such as myself. The Gallente stations, when painted white and red, are very easy on the eyes.

OF course if this change were to happen, there'd be eight thousand people on the forums complaining about having to change their station warp bookmarks.

Why not make an event out of it? Players get to decide which of the stations and when they are updated by filling up a counter with missions and buy orders for construction materials.

Every station gets a set of agents with fetch type distribution missions. Every finished mission gives normal pay and LP in addition to adding to the counter.
Every sale of certain materials to the station adds to the counter.
Every participant gets some participation index and once the station is refurbished, the top few get a collection edition ship.

These mechanics can then be also used with varieties for other live events: Activity X adds to counter Y that triggers event Z.

IS A GENIUS.

Miners, PI industrialists, and freighters would finally have a certifiable lore presence. It seems the news is filled up with stories of massive, terrifying space battles, but what about our vast commerce network?
If the rewards were good, then i think people would flock to it, create new trade hubs for the goods, etc. Like Jita was established because all the best missions were there, there was a reason for the tycoons to gather.

These mechanics could also be used to promote FW, by having similar resources used to take over NPC stations, but with a combat equivalent as well of "clearing out the enemy".

I want my damn spiky sansha stations and menacing Angel and Serpentis model stations. Blood raiders and *some* guristas stations got some. Not sure why this is being half-assed.

I wasn't aware Guristas or BR got some new station models. Do link, please.

I want to dock at a jovian construct.

A recovering btter vet,  with a fresh toon and a determination to like everything that CCP does to Eve...

Don't take me too seriously though, I like to tease a bit on the forums, but that's only because I love you...
