There is anything you need ;)
I don´t know the projekt plans too, when eGore Plans to build in a
Player driven economy the projekt need an build interface where player
can build some equipment if not all what the projekt need are there.

In the original Game are to ways to build some equipment.
1. The Station build the Equipment when all stuff are there which is
needed. The Build Cycle was 6 minute, anyone who want to build some of
this have to sit there and wait till the build was ready, the one who
click faster can buy the build, that was not the fairest thing because
some one haul the needed materials there and another one can buy the
product or can buy the needed materials.

2. There was stations which named "Custum Producer" where you have to
fly in with all needed materials, you have than the product in your
Cargo Space and the needed materials are taken from the Station.

Custom Producer only produce one Product, there aren´t a way to change
this, the Gamemaster decide what there can build. The Station didn´t
have any Gui, just fly through a kind of tunnel and landing tube.

Every Station have an "Message Board" in the original Game where Player
can ask after help for scouting, materials or just Escort.

I personally think we can advance this Message Board like a Web Board or
something else, where Player can answer on a Entry.

The original Game have no communication for offline Player, what about
something like an Communicator for the Message Board and Offline Message
and Galaxy News which can be write from an Gamemaster or Server Admin?

The Meta Server can do the work for the Communication Things.

Myself is dreaming about an 3D Station and a Player Avataar for some
atmosphere when you meet with other PPL.

There was another Space Massive Online Game from EA (I think it was
earth and beyond) which have this feature, the ppl like it.

But this stuff can do later, when eGore like this idea! ;)

Some Plans from eGore were a Good Starting Point for the Gui and the
features of opengate.
