I have noticed that many people roleplay here and roleplaying involves imaginary structures and places in EVE cosmos.

I propose that these places could become visible in EVE.

1. Think Custom Office. Its sitting in space orbitting planet and has lots of hit points.
2. Lets make somekind of Habitation Module with same shield/armor/structure hit points as Custom Office and same reinforcement system as Customs Office.
3. Lets make this Habitation Module visible in overview like Customs Office.
4. Lets give owner of this Habitation Module change to name Habitation Module and give it description.
5. And voila we have physical representation of this roleplaying place and people would probably have motivation to defend it.

My suggestion is open for all kind of discussion.

Here's some edited extras:

1. Purpose for this is to offer cheap alternative for outpost for roleplaying purpose.
2. You cant dock this Habitation Module and can't sell there anything.
3. Price range would be about same class with Customs Office making it available for more people and anchoring this wouldn't require system sovereignty.
4. This place would be destructible like Custom Office.

There could also be chat channel attached to role-playing building. Chat channel is active for everyone certain distance away from it. It would function same way as incursion chat channels. This would create ground for role-playing.

Role-playing building description should only be visible when your ship is in visible range from building. That way you cannot just view description from overview.

In the last published CSM minutes there were words "sense of wonder" and that needs to be found from 0.0 space. I think role-playing building could bring sense of wonder back to 0.0 and low sec space. There would be surprises in space.
