Luxury liners and yachts would be cool.
And it would make sense for the civvies to have police vehicles that are space capable.
Cause to me it's too big of a burden to have the military having to pool assets for warfare AND homefront jobs.
I mean, are there any countries in the world that pack up and send their cops to the front lines? Letting the cities go without any law enforcement?
Hell, it would also "loosen up" how we've seen space travel in FS.
What if space capable vehicles were expensive, but still a reachable goal to the average citizen (or at least the well-to-do)?
It's more of an anime'ish theme sure, but hey, in real life cops have access to equipment and hardware that, while not on par with the heaviest military hardware, they do get some pretty hefty items.
M-16's, flash-bangs (grenades), APC's...
Hehe, Tank Police...
But if you're doing a civilian mod-set, how about adding in a civilian-style space station? Something meant just for the housing of citizenry, such as one based outside of an asteroid belt for a mining operation.
Cause in all the time that man was exploring, I'm sure there were quite a few stations based in the Sol system before hyperspace travel came about.
