Having the ability to duplicate the ship hangar functionality of POS's at factional stations would be a major boon to those whom prefer to do more than one type of thing per play session.

Right now I just docked at OP station in my dragon after doing a military tour of duty (mostly courier runs...wanted to try the whole thing out). I want to tune Oct space beacons back to red but don't feel like doing it in my Dragon, nor do I feel like stripping it down, buying a scout, equipping it, hoping that the engines I need are on the market etc.

If I had the ability to build out a ship, fly it to a station, pay a nominal fee to store it (perhaps with factional dependencies...ie, can't rent storage at a station you can't dock at anyhow due to being hated), rent an apty or pay a bus fee to be transported back to another station to build out another ship, it would allow a person to switch roles quickly and adapt to either situational requirements (OP station under attack and I just docked in a heavy freighter with no fighter components in house) or simply allow one to do something different on a whim.

I would propose the amount of space you can rent for storage to be level dependent, with say a maximum amount of 5 hangar slots being available at level 50. Of course the ship that you have in storage is equipped with items you had to pay for, so you have to have the credits to outfit a ship.

Ships cannot be docked into storage with cargo in the cargo bay, but floor space is available to rent for each pilot to accomodate ship to ship cargo transfers.

To summarize, the ability to land at a factional station, place your current ship into hangar storage and retrieve a different ship to use to do whatever the current situation requires would be fantastic.

Players should be able to accumulate more than one ship in a hanger. We should be able build a stockpile of ships, weapons, gear, etc if we so choose. Not sure why we have hanger space restrictions anyhow.

I'm with Karash on this. If you can afford it, you should be able to get it, rank be damned. I like Ikeprof's idea though since the general consensus seems to be anti-POS among the PvP crowd. I'd gladly give up my POS if I had station storage at all factional or neutral stations. Perhaps factional stations would give you so much space free of charge based on your PR or level, but you should be able to buy or rent space above and beyond that point.
