Not only could this involve a new set of skills, but it could be a profession of sorts.
In any case, I envision players with the appropriate skills renting space for repair shops at various stations. There could be a limit as to how many are allowed per station. And they would replace existing NPC repair shops (who would usually cost significantly more).
Different types (or factions) of ships would require different minerals (or other items) for repair and the repair shop would need to keep these in stock or they would be bought off the market (if available). So different shops might specialize in repairing different types of ships. If a shop is out of the stock and it's not available on the market, an no other Player-owned shop is capable of doing the repair, then the NPC repair shop is always available, but that will cost you (CCP may need to increase NPC repair costs over all). Alternatively there could be no NPC repair shop and the player would need to go some place else where there is one or there is a player who can repair the ship.
So for the player, paying rent and keeping the needed materials and items in stock, they would need to set a price for repairs. One that makes them a profit but also keeps them competitive with either the NPC repair shop or other player owned shops. And hopefully they get enough repair jobs to at the very least pay the rent. (Otherwise they may need to 'make' repair jobs come in. )
I'm sure there are other ways to expand on this to make it into an actual profession, with players setting up chains of repair shops, advertising, loyalty discounts, etc.. etc..

I have nothing against ISK sinks.
I'm sure CCP can find all sorts of creative ways to put in more ISK sinks to compensate.
For instance in this case, the cost for NPC repair shops would likely go up significantly. And in many situations and circumstances a player may have no choice but to use an NPC repair station, and so right there you've probably made up for the loss of an ISK sink were player owned repair shops are.

This idea can go in many directions player own repair skills to repair corp or player items and ships( like mention above .) is a good idea and maybe a new repair type ship that fixes fleets in deep space with the complement of existing repair drones and mods (support). This model of possible repairs( for the market aspect). might have eve in a very different direction which might have many accustom to full compliant of repair in station service's, but the idea that not depending on station services would be more of a player experience for example a lone ship unable to dock or repair on its own would ask a friend or a deep space black market repair ship/shop to come to its aid with extended invisibility to cover both ships while in repair a zone of non hostile's that effect both parties and if that friend has a warp in friend then maybe anyway making own player est. depending on skill and with the skills might come with a timed repair bonus. The possibilities are many and it's good idea. |

it's a small (near tiny) isk sink..... that said - up the prices on the NPC repair shop to give player repair shops a healthy margin, and the rent and increased NPC prices should cover it.... (especially if the rent is on par with what we pay now....)
For posting an idea into F&I:
come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it.....
If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

Huge alliances grab all the repair stations, your repair costs are 1/5 the cost to buy a new ship, game collapses and we all go play Star Citizen.
I like it !
Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

Given you can repair your ship with reppers if you spend the time, and nanite paste. I don't see this exactly being much use. As such, even if it could work, I'd rather see the Devs work on far more significant projects. Considering you can currently do player repairs in outposts, and Citadels may allow you to charge a fee for the service already it's kinda already in the game to start with. |

How about no? Eh, we don't lose anything if it's player owned stations we are talking about, or whatever structures that will replace them in the future.

Undoubtedly, since we have them in outposts.
And they cost 0 isk to use.
OP, if you want to run your own repair shop, take an outpost. |

I didn't say we did. Thing is op doesn't know what she is talking about and I'd rather pay a station to get something repaired and onlined again than paying a capsuleers corporation.
Reminder, everything you pay a station for is isk well spent.
