I stumbled across this one time. I wasn't really in the right ship for it but when I dropped into it I discovered it was exactly that, an installation full of Pirates and fun times.
My T9 escaped in one piece though.
My wingman was just telling me about one of those.
Meanwhile I just came upon Chris and Silvia’s Paradise Hideaway... not sure what happens in there but we’re about to find out! Clear the deck, I’m coming in hot

A squadron tech broker would be a nice touch.
Where the members submit a fully equiped and (engineerd) ship build . it gets deconstructed by the tech broker and creates a bleuprint you can unlock by materials and goods .
After unlocking you can buy them from the squadron/faction/carrier locations for 120% -150% of the Original price.
Down side is you cant exchange any internals or equipment as its a fixed build.
There are 2 upsides one uniform standard ships to give the group feeling, the second some income for the squadron.

Interesting idea, but I wouldn't set expectations on Squadrons going any further than a comms / admin improvement for groups.
Which is absolutely fine and much needed, imo!

It's easier to dream together with others. Less chance of hope to die. Works here at least.

If they are going to remove board flipping and introduce one-hour-mission board refresh... won't that ruin Wing/Faction activities? I mean, I don't think anyone would like to wake up to all-mining missions your own totally non-commercial faction offers. (Which is, sometimes, a damn case.)

Mugpie Campbell...introduce one-hour-mission board refresh...
I was thinking it would be a ten minute refresh thing, did they say what the timer would be? Cause I don't remember reading one.

It sure would limit activities if it was for that long. But we need to see first-hand what we're given and then suggest FD certain changes if need be.

The refresh will not be 1 hour. It will be 10 minutes, reduced from 15.
It will only ruin Wing/Faction activities for the inflexible. Those who can adapt will thrive, as always.
And personally I am looking forward to better stability and faster load times - I've had a fair few moments of the board hanging while it loads and eventually disconnecting. I won't miss those.

With all respect, if my character is combat-oriented, why should it mine? There's a reason why we poke out or roleplay roles within the game on INARA.
Stay inflexible and struggle with it, then.
