Agreed. Smed is definitely set on player-built bases being put in some time after launch, and with this new Player Studio allowing the community to create their own PS2 art assets, perhaps we'll see the community push for player-built orbital bases.
Besides, Smed is a huge EVE-Online fan (I'm a long-time player myself) and has openly admitted to borrowing ideas from the game, which is tied directly to Dust 514 (they inhabit the same universe and the games interact cross-platform). As long as CCP doesn't see PS2 as competing with Dust 514 (which isn't likely as Dust 514 is a PS3 console exclusive) then it might not be an issue.
