After Strat's suggestion about ecnonomy

And suggestion about racetube station
http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/23529

I suggest:
+ Add Conquerable station deep in the Serco, make a mission, where newbies can get a key. Call it very very secret base of SkyCommand in Sol-II. ;) Serco government holds the owner key and it issues keys for period of time. (Daily missions for access)

+ Add Conquerable station deep in the Itani territory, make a mission, where newbies can get a key. Call it very very secret Akan's base in Itan. Itani government holds the owner key and it issues keys for period of time. (Daily missions for access)

+ Add Conquerable station in Deneb to escalate the war conflict

+ Add Racetube station in Sedina

+1, especially regarding the first 3 points.

Except for last item, where should be:
*Make Racetube station in Sedina conquerable.

Great ideas the 'secret' national stations, and the serco beachhead station.

+1, except that I would just make all the stations in Deneb conquerable.

no doubt all them should become conquerable, but let's start experimenting with only one, to develop it. Like, can NPCs conquer it? what defenses and attackers does it require?

After polishing details, make other stations also conquerable.

So if I get this idea... there would be an Itani station in Itani nation space which loyal Itani would be rewarded for destroying the defenses and a Serco station in Serco nation space which loyal Serco would be rewarded for destroying the defenses?

That seems more like a sure ticket to KoS with your own nation as it would be tantamount to treason.

The rest of the idea is ok but, conquerable stations should stay the hell out of nation space. There is little enough traffic in Gray without giving people another reason to stay in nation space.

+1 to putting conquerable stations deep in Serco and Itani space (non-capital systems, maybe Metana and Dantia). If one could capture and hold a base in enemy space from which to launch raids, national warfare would make a fast come-back.

Yeah, I guess I didn't read closely enough about the conquerable stations in nation space. They wouldn't be for loyalists to conquer, but for hostile nationalists as a base, like Lecter said. I was thinking more like Cantus and Betheshee, but the basic idea is the same.

Wherever is fine - I haven't played in so long I honestly don't remember the map layout anymore (and I'm too indifferent to look).

Yeah, raiding stations will be an awesome military and even diplomacy challenge..

I was thinking more like Cantus and Betheshee, but the basic idea is the same.

Their location is more or less wise for raiding, though I'd prefer to see those station more close to grey, so Dantia and Divinia or A.A. are nice too. Hell, I hope dynamic hive won't expand into the conquerable station!

"Attention, %target%! Your station is under attack by Hive!"

why not? It was very FUN when hive entered ConqStation. Even more when also there was an ion storm... its the price of a 'secret' station.

Make those national ConqSt be research type, searching for an alternative for imported Purified Xith. Make a mission to explain that, like, take some xith ore to secret station and help war effort. (they will not produce PurXith, only research).

They also can be used to teach station conquest/defense dynamics.

"why not? It was very FUN when hive entered ConqStation. Even more when also there was an ion storm"

+1, I agree with Alloh, lets test one station in deneb to work things out then port all the itani stations to conq statioPr

Let's make all Itani stations conquerable.
