Make Tortuga

Premise:

1. You have an empty station asset jut begging to be used. It has a race track attached.
2. You have players who want an in-station trade interface.
3. You have players who want the risk of open-space trading.

Proposal:

1. Activate this station in Sedina and give only this station a trade interface.
2. There is no NFZ, faction, or defense of any kind at this station.
3. Moving merchandise in or out of this system requires non-capital vessels to unload merchandise into station.
4. Moving merchandise out of station similarly requires a non-capital vessel.

Benefits:

1. Players who wish to trade using the new trade interface must go through the risk of transporting their merchandise to and from tortuga and loading/unloading using vulnerable non-capital ships.
2. Players who may be less reputable have a verifiable way to trade that provides assurance to the other party that they actually have the goods they are selling.
3. We get Tortuga where we can players can hang out, furball, race, and otherwise live freely without any faction or government oversight.

-1 because of proposal #3,4. remove that and its +1

EDIT: nvm, +1 (alsong as capships are allowed in that sector)

Xeha, you think a trident or goliath should be able to dock? That would eliminate most of the danger.

+1, but dont call it tortuga. Actually, I would consider making trade more dangerous here, such as a cluster of always-hostile npcs of sorts, requiring to have someone help you get in?

Inc has been promising a roving pirate station and accompanying pirate alignment/unaligned status for years. That should be implemented with this as a component thereof - not this instead of or before that. I'm not holding my breath either way, though.

First we need all the ships to have random Goddamn holes in them, donchaknow.

We shouldn't mock Curt's holy mission.

+1

But only if its a trade only station. Which means no repairs or reloads.
May 30, 2017 Pizzasgood link
I don't know about forbidding reloads, but forbidding repairs seems like a fun idea -- it would encourage use of the race track.

+1 to pizzagood's idea of requiring using the race track to repair

+1 to doing ANYTHING with that racing station... it's been sitting empty and unusable for ridiculously too long! Even if you just let us dock with it and store stuff there I'd be mostly happy, even if I couldn't repair/reload or trade or anything

you have a fantastic asset that sits and collects dust for over a decade... not sure if you have/had some grand racing plans for it, but you can always undo/move whatever it's use later if you ever get around to it. I'd personally prefer it be a conquerable station then a trading hub but whatever floats everyone else boat really... just do something, ANYTHING!!

-1 for the name
