Actually, it's real even now. I was working on very similar idea for my motherships mod. A small part of the test code was implemented in unreleased 0.28 version. The whole idea was:
1. You have to buy/find/acquire a base modules like storage, factory, hangar, etc.
2. You have to have a pilot with special engineer skill that allows to construct a base. Additionally, to start building a base, you have to equip your mothership with some special construction modules.
3. If you have the skill and all needed equipment you can build your base anywhere you want. Base appears in front of your ms 100 clicks away. The same way you can build defensive turrets around your base. Player's base (and ms) can have one unique module called "town portal module" which allows to freely travel between your base and a sector you're currently in.
That was the whole idea. The main problem was saving your base after you left a sector. It's possible but very complicated. Now, I'm waiting for AoV. I hope AoV will be even more modable than old titles.
