Is building our own space stations something that is or will be considered in the future?
TL;DRPlayer-built space stations are being considered and the team would love them, but only in the far future, with concerns about players cluttering space.
I will say it's being considered, but we're talking far future at this point. We would love to have that, but again, we're talking tech, we need to find again the right amount of how much do we do. We don't want to allow the player to put station next to station next to station and just create unlivable space. But we like this idea of the player... how we want them to own a piece of land, we like the idea of allowing them to settle somewhere at the edge of the galaxy, I don't know, somewhere close to a sun corona, put a science station there, where they can run some experiments using whatever quality that sun provides. There's a lot of scientific slash maybe manufacturing or extraction possibilities, like extracting various materials in a certain area where you would drop a station, and that station constantly harvests stuff. There are possibilities here. So, yes, but we're really talking not the near future.
No, to use an American idiom, we're several carts before the horse.
Yep, pretty much.
