I think we should have temporally available space station we can visit and meet people with related stats and gameplay styles in a broken down space PUB/ bar which would be the only places you can trade guns and items. It would also include a hanger with everyone's ships out for you to look at and while hanging out and meeting new friends you can sign up for special public events and know the enemy's plans before they get there. One last thing rare vendors that only so up in the space station or may even space stationS.
