POB-constructed ships?

[Trogdor]

Is this possible?

Make a new POB shipyard module that requires a new core lv - 5. Put a big shipyard frame on the station model at lv 5.

Shipyard builds one ship at a time, until it's sold no more ships can be made, or it can be destroyed to make room

Base admin determines which ship to be built from a list

populate the list with anything you want... restrict what's available to be built by the base's faction ID

Boom, now you've got
1) a solution to the problem of 'too many ships, not enough sellpoints'
2) virtually limitless potential to put ships in the mod. the only limit is how much work the devs are willing to devote doing all of the things required to make a new ship. no more competing for which model the community likes better and the old one disappears.
3) server activity, because to build the ships you can't just throw money at an npc, you have to deliver the commodities or pay players to deliver them for you.
4) You could potentially remove all of the best ships from npc ship dealers. Or, make the ships bought from POBs better than what you can find on npc bases.
