Would it be possible to capture/purchace bases/other instalations by maybe adding a new variable for crew/marines, where each ship class would have a different number, and you could recruit them at pirate bases or something... and then dock to stations and have an option where the marines would attempt to take over the station by killing the marines that are on that station... Or maybe just be able to buy a statiohn/installation for a huge price? And then you could slowly buy up entire clusters That would be really fun, because you could engage ships, and then lure them back to your stations, and watch your station's turrets vaporise squadrons of enemy chips... I know this was possible and partially done in Independance War II with iFleet mod.
