Scale Plate Green scrap yard and recycling.

[waynetarlton]

If I had a wish in this game it'd be to have a mobile recycling plant, e.g. a specialised extremely slow moving platform or ship, to take advantage of recycling unwanted ships (instead of selling them off) and some of the debris in Scale Plate Green.
That would be awesome.

Perhaps it could be a pirate owned blue print that either must be stolen (causing significant pirate repercussions) or perhaps gained through some extremely difficult task or such a thing ... oh, and be frightfully expensive to build.

Given that rumours point towards a pirate orientated DLC, I would not be surprised if player ship recycling is introduced as a mechanic with that.

If it's too expensive, then it won't be worth building, since those materials/credits could be used on standard resource stations instead.

Essentially, make it too costly, and it never pays itself off relative to other investments.

It’s free !

Or ought to be !

Building the station is the challenge, it can only be built from scrap ! Thus will give you good reason to be good at retrieving old ships to build the station. Then after all your years of hard work you then can turn a profit.

Make it easy to get, but hard to complete.

I am sure Pirate chefs would want a scraping station close by, so they can sell you there captured and emptied ships ! You would be doing them a service, so gain rep. It’s an under world activity.
