Here's my prioritized list:
1. Processing Array: (provides CPU at expense of Power). one or more of these array's should allow multistage reactions to occur such that moon mining can continue at full rate whilst composite materials are being produced. It should also support the use of an intensive processing array for a short period of time without stopping other activities.
2. Research Array: increased station lab costs may not have the effect of making more labs available until they become unaffordable. Having enhanced research ability should be a side benefit of being a POS owner.
3. Surveilance data: who'd my starbase kill? who came by to take a look? who launched a survey probe in the vicinity? If I am the sovereign corp of this system, I want to know who travelled through the system, who logged off in the system, etc. I might have to deploy surveilance modules near gates to enable some of this functionality.
4. More starbase config roles: Moon mining is a bit complex for the beginner, and you don't want people mucking with the moon production when all you asked them to do was check on the fuel and keep the tanks topped off. Furthermore, you want to allow every corp member to have access to the basic facililities: corp hangar array (where divisional access rights apply as usual), refinery, ship maintenance array, etc. So, keep starbase config role, but add starbase fuel and starbase access (and at the same time you can add the alliance access functionality, although our corp does not belong to an alliance so that's not important to us per se).
5. Trading Post: although I haven't listed a field assembly array as one of my top 5, a trading post would still be very beneficial, specifically for the purpose of aiding in deliveries to and from the station -- from trading partners or corp members. I'll need something that can exist outside the shield so as not to bounce my guests. It will allow miners to deliver/sell ice product to me, and will allow me to make my moon products, bpc's and other locally produced items available to those same traders, who may wish to haul the items back to a better location where they can make a profit off it. Also, in lieu of having market functionality that allows sell orders to be restricted to members of your corp, you could have an option button on the trading post configuration that allows you to restrict to corp only. You could then place large quantities of items (ships too, please!) into the trading post and allow only your corp buddies to buy at corp cost.
