So you can change weapon groups, swap out addons, load cargo from the cargo bay of the ship. There isn't a great reason why this shouldn't happen.

this was the idea behind player owned stations. So if they're still doing that anytime soon, it's doubtful they'll give tridents the ability unless player owned stations will offer a lot more than you'd be able to get from a trident. Would kinda weaken the importance of a player owned station and hurt the justification for what will likely be a _huge_ build requirement to get one.

But yea, it doesn't make sense. Anything with a docking bay should allow you to do simple things like reconfig your ship. I just think they'll hold on to that feature to fluff up the importance of player owned stations.

I think perhaps the greatest motive for a station over a movable trident would be free space, and also a static place to repair/reload. You could also in the future create player missions, that anyone can take and work for you.

+1 obviously.

+1 obviously.

+1 if the owner has the extra weaponry on board, sure. Until they grant us/tackle shared inventory, this would only apply to the owner, but it stands to reason that a ship that can offer repair & reload could swap out a hard point and alter weapons groups.

+1 obviously.
