outposts would mean those really small border/gate stations. But I get your point.
Angel isn't the only one who knows how to construct complex bases, I have already made 2 shipyards in my systems.
I hadn't meant to make large systems with lots of bases. There would have been a base limit for each system. Also, to have 36 outposts a faction would have to give up getting any Large stations, shipyards, and medium stations, resulting in ONLY outposts, which are not very good stations..
And I still think there should be some way to buy stations, use limits yes, but somehow be able to buy stations for NPC factions that you are aligned with.
