that would be awesome if eventually we could have the option to build  "space station" on a system.

external structure than could be used for many things:

-ennemy mouvement bloquade

-ship repair

-system derence

-economy boost

-vision boost

just few exemple many other possibility.

However, those could be attacked independantly  to either get disabled for a couple turn or even destroyed.

That would be a awesome mecanic offereing lot of possibility and extradevelopement.

I tought as much!!! Just remembered seeing your post.

As well as industrial exploration of a planet being possible without colonization.

Like industrial / research outposts we have in south pole.

I like this idea alot!
