It's more streamlined or dumbed down. You can purchase and supply all your stations with the components to make said missiles. Your station manager puts them together (magic) to make the missiles. Drones on stations are the same thing in my experience. The player can manufacture all wares themselves. Key factor till 2.0 hopefully is player shipyards themselves. You only require the blueprints for tracking turrets and whatever missile type you want on your stations.

Missiles are assembled by the station manager using missile components and smart chips

Similarly for drones, using drone components and smart chips

OK. Thanks for letting me know about missile construction.
I guess it's better to get fresh cooked missiles instead of ones that maybe sit under a heat lamp for hours till you want some. :D :o

Frankly, I both understand and enjoy that the economy works this way. X3 required a dedicated factory for every individual weapon and component. This was a big problem for the PPC, which tended to disappear off the map. Now you merely need generic "munitions", which can build lots of things. It's less headache from the user end, and ensures the economy can work smoothly.

I just imagined the manager alone in a dark room, surrounded by bombs, assembling the missiles, one by one, cursing his job... :lol:

Good to know, but this is a 5 year old topic and should have stayed dead.
