Diversifying the possibilities for outposts

I started playing the game a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it.

I thought about developping more possibilities for outposts. Right now an outpost is just a transition beetween a colonizer ship and a new colony and you reach your overcolonization limit there is no real use anymore, except for lumeris. What if we could have more options to use them, still based on a 10 turn duration and at the cost of dust, influence and/or manpower, that would slow down or even stop the colonization process but would grant other strategic benefits.

For example :

_ you create an outpost on an uninteresting system but with a good tactical benefits, you build a satellite or radar infrastructure just to keep it in your vision range

_ you create an outpost near an rival territory of a faction you're at war with and you build a military base to repair your ships (like with a amical minor faction), even to build new ones there, or to block an rival colonization in process in the same system

_ going on with the military aspect you transform your outpost in an weaponised facility that would give you bonuses during space battles in this system or deal damage to ennemy ships which pass by, or even support you when you invade a nearby system (kinda like a "death star" thing) or could be used as diplomatic way of pressure

_ you build a simple ressource extractor that would take only a bit of the ressources on the planet

_ you build a 'bagne' (a sort of jail in french) or 'goulag' that would absorb and contain some of your factionwide disapproval or political opposition

etc...
