This is kinda similar to the idea that Exadv1 posted a while back, about instead of having a PVP environment and change it with more PVE. I really liked the idea and I feel some concepts should be looked at if this was to be implemented on one of servers.
Basically the gist of it is that more random occurrences could and should happen and it would encourage to set up some sort of community with proper jobs and stuff. Like every while aside from a random bunch of mobs like suggested, a virus breaks out, or asteroids or whatever. It takes survival and difficulty up a notch and encourages co-op. Nothing like level 99 asteroid from all sides kinda situation but stuff that would really ruin your day if you don't handle it correctly.
Maybe after a set time, say 2-3 hours i dunno, people can do a hierarchy vote? So if successful it assigns random jobs to people (or maybe higher up jobs for people who have been here the longest?) and re-enables new joiners to select a job. I dunno, I think it would be very interesting if once err'body has built the station, to have a little structure and to see if your design is efficient (or hilariously hazardous) and for what job. It won't stop people from continuing building, the tools will still be there.
I would play the shit out of this eitherways. I admit I do get bored of the PVP every once and a while and it's been shown with tele-science that PVE can be just as entertaining and hilarious as the former.
