How about a space station (just like in Galaxy on Fire)? I'm thinking of player created stations where you go off mining, have some productions and/or do trading (something like neutral stations where the bearer(s) get(s) some small amount of the money involved in the trade). The problem there would of course again be what to do when the bearer(s) is/are offline.

How about making a ingame customization of the textures where you don't have to many possibilities, but still get unique textures? I would think of something like overlaying specific patterns (created by you) together with colours you could choose to for example carve something into the stones or metals in the game. There could not be to much abuse but you would still have customization and diversity.
