I have no idea how difficult it would be, especially since the Arkship is flagged as being a different faction from Player, but what about adding sections that grant the same buffs as Stable Point Objects? Stability, sensor range, burn levels. It'd provide a buff to friendly/player fleets in the same system, and make it worthwhile to consider leaving at home if you aren't using it for some reason.
What about a Refinery section? Not as an industry, but something that turns deposited/stored ores and transplutonic ores into metals and transplutonic metals.
it's a stretch, but what about a similar idea to the refinery, but it converts food into lobsters or something? Basically, a way to turn low value high volume finds like food and turn it into a smaller amount of higher value goods. but again, not as an Industry, just a way to handle high salvage amounts.
