Personal wars

In multiplayer, some bases should be allowed to be destroyed. So as a request, can someone add into a mod, or create one that allows non-important bases and or battleships to be destroyed.
And as a fail-safe, so to speak, to insure that after a given time all the bases arn't destoryed, the owner of a server can restart his/her server and have all the orignal bases respawned. Trust me, it'd take awhile to wipe out all the bases.
Anyway, after awhile takeing on missions from the bar and running your own show as a freetrader gets...boring. You cant join a faction, such as become a Navy officer or cop, bounty hunter, etc. I know you can take missions, but i mean take them from a central command and get paid salary, whatever. In my opinion, i think it would fantastic if you could 'raid' or plain destory non-important bases, such as junkers, corsairs, or just anything space worthy. And leave the docking rings, trade lanes, jump gates, alone.
Btw, i am new to the forum, have mercy!
Thanks.

Yeah, actually, this is incorporated into a lot of mods. In fact, I just blew up Newark Base. I'm using Next Generation Mod 1.4, but I think it's single-player only for right now. There are others, however. Destructible Universe Mod, for example. Just go search and see what you find.

Hmmm, after pondering a bit more on the subject of big things going Ka-Blooey, I was wondering: Do you think it is at all possible to destroy PLANETS? Or even better, STARS?! Holy crap, entire galaxy goes POP! Now that'd be a damn good mod.

Thanks!, I had a feeling there was a few a mods i could hunt down. But i was sure after i posted this someone would do the hunting for me.
But like you said, its only for singleplayer, leaves a little room for improvement, but anyways...thanks again.

Destroying a base with a player docked on it casues major problems in MP games, you could still get away with some destrucatable parts on the stations, or even a few new stations that you can't dock with but can destroy. Ideally you could come up with a way to destroy the part you dock with but not the part you undock from, that way the base would essentially be destroyed but anyone who was docked there could still get out without crashing the server.
