Starbase 24 should be a minimal services hub you can beam to.

Instead of just being a special fleet queue prompt, they should retool the Starbase 24 mission map to be a minimal services social hub similar to Starbase 39/Sierra beam down point. It would be handy to have access to the Starbase as a social hub (even a minimal service one like Starbase 39/Sierra is) it would make it easier having a small social hub in the Orion sector than always traveling or transwarping to the ESD in the area. Nothing too crazy something scale like Starbase 39/Sierra is.

    I don't think I can go along with your thinking on this. Starbase 24 is in the same Sector as ESD. It takes maybe 10 seconds of travel to go from SB24 to ESD.

    Plus, SB24 is only 1 Sector away from SB39, from DS9, from Bajor, from K-7, and from Drozana. Plus, have you seen how many merchant ships are always floating around that area already?

    I think we've now got a decent number of social zones/banks/mail/Exchanges in-game. There's really no place in the STO universe where you're too far away from what you need.

    I disagree. There is no such thing as too many social zones/towns where you can access your bank, the exchange, or mail.

    But to the point, I don't think SB24 should be a social zone. Rather, I think Starbase 114 (location of War is Good for Business, and where you pick up Danar Khan) should be a mini social zone. The map is the same for both missions, and with a little tweaking, they could be made into permanent social zones where a missions occur.
