That will help with RolePlaying a lot! and turn it more interesting!
Maybe, the Player Station having rights to allow/deny to dock and maybe can activate/deactivate the 1st TL around... Or just manage the Docking Ring doors... i think, almost infinite posibilites hehehehe.
My vote YES!
…Or the turrets…

I vote no. I can imagine the different ways to troll with that. No thanks.

The only people who troll are [CENSORED] and idiots. I quite enjoy being a station, as it makes up for me being unable to aim a fighter with my tiny little mouse.

Any cmp file can be given a shiparch entry and thus become playable.
You could do this with entire base or even with a single turret. But they wouldn't have engines and they woudn't be purchasable in bases (because you couldn't undock). So I suppose it would have to be an SRP where the admins change your save file to be a base or a turret-gunner for a base.
It would be kind of limited, though. You'd have to just sit and wait for everything to come to you.
I suppose the current method of using phantom physics via the /stuck command is a better option-- except with a shiparch entry you could fire all the turrets on the station and with new, more detailed cmps of manned turrets attached to stations (and cockpit view) you could really feel like a gunner.
Also, in a team situation, like with police chasing a smuggler, you could chase your prey toward your gunner (on one of your bases) who could shoot the smuggler down regardless of whether the base is hostile to the smuggler or not. Since the turret would contain a player, it would show up as red, but the base would have its normal rep.

just dont refuse docking right and shoot like made with turrents if those are actually enabled and im good.
Also. If there is a junker that docks at rochester for smuggling.... nothing wont happen.
Its a junker. They are known for that.
At least thats what im thinking unless the .:j:. wana say "oh no... no smuggling here.... nope nope. Lets ban our own guy but we do it too. Sorry dude. *ban* "

Again, this won't really happen. But, my thinking was that a Liberty Police player would only be able to be a gunner on a Liberty Police base. So the gunner on Rochester would also be a Junker, and could help fend off pursuers so you can safely dock.
Especially if the gunner could pimp out his turret with different guns (longer ranges; anti ship beam weapons; torpedoes; railguns)-- then you could really help a teammate out.
Often Junkers are neutral to other faction's bases, so if they were ambushed near a lawful base and tried to dock, then the gunner could cooperate with the pursuers to take him down.
I'm just putting these ideas out there b/c they are relatively easy to do-- with vanilla FL files, no FL hook or coding. Also, its pretty simple to modify pimpship to pimp other items, like guns.
I don't think these changes will happen in Disco, but its a lot simpler than many of the other ideas I've seen on this forum.

Have to say I found it hilarious, they stuck themselves inside the station, and was giving docking permission and stuff, telling people to move away from station because they are too close, that sort of thing
Whoever it was, it was awesome!
Would like to see more of this...
Yep, the person role-playing Fort Bush also gives updates about any suspicious vessels using the TLAGSNET.
You're welcome, I'm Fort.Bush. I only decided to start playing as the station, because I remember someone used to play as Newark, and thought it'd be a good idea.
If anyone decides to RP as Newark they need the express permission of Interspace Commerce prior to doing so. Anyone found RPing as Newark without gaining permission prior to said actions will result in immediate eviction from station out the air lock >.>
