And if the mechanics change and the trade hub moves again, then what?

Well then it's just monument of what once were the greatest trade hub of EVE. Add some degeneration to it and if there is new clear market hub king, use the model also there without the degeneration?

I don't think Jita can really lose it status unless CCP does big changes in empire gate connections.

I do like the idea of specific well known/used/lore stations having a special look to them that is either entirely unique or at least rare. Station skins was a good start to this. Add this to the idea of ambient station activity based on players using the station and it could be pretty cool. Especially if trade hubs move, seeing a massive station that was once very active, mostly dark and quiet would be cool.

Change the station, to something more grand, same should go for the other trade hubs, but if you're that influential, that people try to burn you once a year you should have recognition and bigger guns on your station to keep those rascals at bay

though they should have the undock gate at the exact same place as where it is now.

Concept is cool as ice, but likely impossible. A station surrounding a moon would be many grids in size.

What I would suggest are modular stations. Each station type has a base design and as activity increases in a given station new modules are added on to it to represent this. It would be automatic based on assets stored in station, number of docks/undocks per day, jobs installed, and other relevant factors.

Jita would be several times the size of a normal station but still easily fits onto a grid.

There are all our dominion

It is only because of the player activity. Should there be such a structure in every system players create a big hub when another fades? Instead of changing that in High sec, players should have the chance to build this in their Null sec home and have something to work for, like the titans back in the days. People are supposed to go out and do something out there, what's the point to do this in High sec where players can't do just that?

Actually, if you look at the art panels from the last Evefest or two, there are plans for stations to respond to player activity.

Now, it's pretty much in terms of holographic advertising appearing on the undock in differing densities, but that is the NPC world reacting to player activities.

Changing station models dynamically is probably out of the question though, as suddenly everyone's undock, insta-dock, safe cyno, and perch bookmarks could be obsoleted the moment a certain threshold of activity is reached. So, while I think the OP's idea is neat, no support.

so what? the simple inconvenience of having to proactively update their "im completely safe from ganks" every couple months is too much to ask that an entire feature can be shot down for it?

cool pictures... But there's also the problem that there's 2 stations on 4-4

Why make another one station, if we have the same interiors in them? What?

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

the scale of stations bothers me pretty much every other day.


The only time i been in awe of a station is when i undock in a pod because the scale seems more realistic somehow
