Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I got to thinking the other day how boring player owned structures were and thoughts about how to improve them. After all, all you are doing is basically just fueling a giant stick in space so that you can reap some reward from it.

But how cool would it be if we could transition players from a NPC station home to player owned structures? I thought this could be made a lot more exciting by changing the way the POS looks by enabling it to be customizable similar to T3 Cruisers and then link subsystems within the POS similar to planet mining interaction. The station could then be configured with different subsystems dependent upon the base structure (Small, Medium, Large). From there, you could add a subsystem structure like different hangers that would automatically fuel and rearm a ship, or repair, thus encouraging players to actually dock at the POS.
Once the station is completed, players that are allowed access are able to walk in a fully functioning POS with lobby and possibly a poker table (which would have to be bought and added), a big screen linked to a youtube video or something, and each individual could of course import their own captain’s quarters where ever they were thus making walking in stations actually useful.

Making the Player Owned Structure feel like a home/base would provide more of a reason to interact with POS’s. As such, I believe this would lead to a lot more POS battles thus resulting in more fights because corporations would want to defend their home/base, and opposing forces would love to asplode their enemies home.

What do you guys think? Suggestions and critism is welcome.
