The four beam weapon factories were and still are Strong Arms exclusives. You will also need rank 8 to buy them.

That was correct in 1.1. But not any more. There is no Fusion Beam Canon Forge in Strong Arms Shipyard (just check).

Sorry, you are right. The station is only available at the terran shipyards in a new 1.2 game. Apparently removing works between patches, but not adding. You will have to save up a few million exploration points, get lucky and buy the blueprint from the Explorers Guild... or start a new game.

What gun/missile blueprints can we get besides boarding pods from the guild? I've never seen an FBC blueprint offered whatsoever.

It seems not working nowaday. If I am personally use missile barrage - missiles selfdestruct (or lose guidance) after jump. If I command M7M OOS - missiles hit the target almost instant (25+ km away from Shipyard) and I am losing reputation.

It works - and I just checked it. You must stay in sector using another ship while missiles flying, because in remote missiles hits target instantly. So, enter the sector (on M6, for example). wait for M7M/M8, do barrage, command M7M/M8 to jump away... profit!

None, just all the available station blueprints and almost all ship blueprints. Boarding pod is the only blueprint you can exclusively get from the Exploration guild, as there's no factory for them.

Also, you can't get the FBC factory blueprint from the EG, if you started playing before version 1.2: I have all the other stations, got the achievement and never gotten the new FBC blueprint, but got the new and old model Orbital laser factory. I even got the Teladi mines twice, once from the shipyard and once from the EG

That way it works! But when and where it will respawn?

In about 72 hours at the same spot. Keep us posted

I am waiting for Shipyard to respawn. Even on SETA it may take several days for me (meanwhile I am doing missions etc).

If we're lucky, maybe one of the devs will write a small official script to destroy and then recreate the station with all it's wares.

If not lucky then the only way is as suggested or by going modified.
I don't currently have a ship capable of destroying a station fast enough to try it.

Argo.

Does it work to tractor an asteroid into the shipyard?

There are no asteroids in Saturn, Mars or The Moon. Maybe with the help of the explorers guild?

Looks like that's the only way, but it's not a guaranteed way of spawning asteroids in.
