I was doing my doffing rounds while watching some Deep Space 9. I heard Quark complain about cousin
Gaila's Moon and the inspiration for this thread hit.
Why not come up with a 10 or so mission chain which allows players to ultimately buy a moon?
Make the chain high stakes, like actual venture capitalism. Huge inputs like millions of ec, mass quantities of commodities and what not. Make failure a likely event. But maybe a critical reward doubles your money.
Rewards? A title, maybe a cool Ferengi doff... who cares, you own a moon (that you'll never visit).

I'd love to visit such a place, but I wouldn't hold my breath for such content.
I figure it would be a nod to the show, another thing to drain ec from the market and provide some RP/non-pew pew thing. Maybe make it a private place where more people can visit, for RP'ers who want to RP in peace.
So maybe if a dev reads this, pitch such a doff assignment chain and a customizable moon as a resource sink like fleets. Maybe add some special high resource cost doff mission while on the moon which grants upgrades like an exchange or commodity vendor.
Trophy room? Statue of yourself? Yes please.
Great idea. I was thinking the first mission should also involve trading Self-Sealing Stem Bolts for some other junk. A reference to the great material continuum Nog and Jake navigated so well.
Yes, +2 votes so far. Moons for everyone... in my mind.
Even if nothing else in this thread happens, a Ferengi-themed doff assignment chain with each one being based around a rule of acquisition would be awesome.
