How cool would it be to own your own station? I don't know how hard it would be to oxp but I think it would be pretty awesome. Maybe just a small station like the Collector's or maybe a Rock Hermit?
Some ideas for what you could do with it:
Store ships there for future use
Gain revenue from sales (probably not much what with operational overhead)
Use it for slightly discounted repair on ships
Bragging rights

You don't know what class is.
- Fireworks to welcome you after a long trip
- Your own logo on the station
- docking priority
- A maid café instead of a dive
- An escort at witchpoint waiting for VIPs 24/7
- custom station interiors

And of course risk losing it all to pirates and/or Thargoids if you're not at home when they come to say "hi!"

Another thing that would be nice is to have Ship Configuration store all your stuff for free there.

I didn't think of that. It would be something of a blow to have all your ships mechanics stored there and the lose it all to a hoard of thargoids.

Even more entertaining, would be if the system went nova..

And that, please, I don't want to think about.

However, unintended consequences aside, could this be done somehow? I might give it a try myself but my programming skills are pretty limited.

(Offtopic alert)
Is that actually possible without an OXP? Or is there an OXP to produce that? That'd make for a pretty interesting mission storyline.

There is a native nova mission - and if you visit a system gone nova, you won't last long.
Last time I revisited my nova system, I lasted all of forty-two seconds. <chortles>
