One of the biggest reasons that I bought eve was the promise of player built and run stations.
So many 0.0 systems yet no one really goes that deep because they eventually need to get back to a station.
I think the game will get so much more interesting when people start fighting over territory and property.
So CCP, how much longer till we can build stations?

You mean you don't like ferrying your Bistot 30+ jumps to the nearest station?

I am not sure there is 1 corp that is ready for that task yet. Now some of the alliances maybe. But there was a early comment that it would take a month to build one. That is you got all the minerals you need. I hear there are two pieces to it. The platform and then the station. That platform requires 1 billion trit alone. I think it is a large under taking and the first corp to do it better have allot of people online every minute of the game just to protect it. Cause you know that people are going to want to be the first to destroy it.

I can't wait for this type of content. If they provide us with the proper tools, so much content can be created by the playerbase.. I want content from CCP but when you the player can build and create things in the game it makes all the difference. My only concern is that it comes soon enough before negative momentum from the playerbase sets in. I have all the confidence in the CCP devs though! :D I think in the end, we all want something we can call our own and defend with our vitrual lives.

Based on several individual players (im not talking corps here) i know for a fact that several could afford their very own simply from personel wealth.
You under-estimate the community, but most corps probably cannot afford/under take the task alone.

it's not only wealth, tri won't come just because you have enough money, think about you need haul it to the construction platform.
btw, unless the first corp build station can keep it secret, otherwise that station will be destroied before completion I foresee it

Nah if they put in player run stations someone from TTI would just accidentally sell it for 1 ISK and start a whole new thread of whining.

Does it matter? TTI would've bought 10 of them at 1 isk first due to a developer being drunk while pricing them.

When? A few more patch cycles at least. First step, implement anchoring of cans (comming next patch according to dev blog)
Second step, throw us a few bones with smaller anchorable items (sentry guns, mobile refinaries, mining platforms)
Third step, probably titans cause a full station will take extreme amounts of minerals and industrial ships won't cut it.
Fourth step, Stations!!!!
Mind you step 3 will take a long time on it's own. Allegedly it will take several level 5 skills to fly a titan. We're talking weeks/months to train for one.

as it is now it will require
-spaceship cmd lvl5
-battleship lvl4
-leadership lvl5
(afaik)

titans will probebly get in after station building.
Titans were suppose to be Huge moving stations
also with refining platforms you don't need to huge cargo ships normal indies will do
just build your station close to a refining platform
without any new form of refining 30 jumps off the closest station station building will get pretty slow....
hauling a few Bil. off tri over 10-20 jumps wont be so easy... also the moment the station is build you would probebly see a second station close to it within 10% off the time needed for the first one :)

Stations wont be in for weeks at least. It will not take 'months' to build one and if you think there are no corps up to it yet you are very wrong.
There are many many balance issues to be worked out with player stations before they can be successfully implemented to do with how/if they can be attacked or destroyed/captured etc.
And if you want proof ccp said it would take much much longer than this to get bships.
Nuff said

Does m0o have any agenda apart from PvP in regard to the introduction of 'Player Corp owned stations' and all the parapheneila such a corp would require?

Why would anyone have to haul the minerals 10-20 jumps?
Secure Containers + Strip Mining Op On Site = Tons of Minerals.
Just because the Bistot and Arkanor is so pretty doesn't make the rest of the rocks worthless, depending on what you plan to do with it...

I can think of several corps capable of mining quite immense amounts of ore. Saying there is no corps capable of doing it means you live a very sheltered life. How many battleships do you think TTI have built? Even if it was only 10 (which I can gaurantee it's more, my corp has already built 10 BS) that's roughly 20k mega 50k zydrine 200k nox 1mil iso 3.5mil mex 15mil pyrite 65mil trit. There are a lot of corps very capable of producing minerals well in excess of these figure, I even think STK could do it if we put our minds to it. As a matter of fact, if CCP wants to donate a construction platform to us, we'd be happy to do extensive testing on player owned stations . We're more than qualified!
