I don't se any use for it in DV....
1) Without food it cant run.(DV cant produce food without spices)
2) It cant produce Silicon Wafers without Cut Crystals. (only place with any Crystal is PMC controlled and my ships will get attacked)
3) Ships don't have fuel to jump to get Crystals to make drone because Cell Recharge Facility will run out food and stop making F-Cells . Also jump without will take to long and PMC ships will blow them up anyway...
4) Nobody don't need Silicon Wafers, Refined Metals or Drones. What is point of building station that nobody needs in that sectors???(cant make any profit without manual trading).
5) So I need to build anther 5 stations so i can run it efficient without manual trading..
6) The only good thing i can arm my stations with drones it produce.
I was just wondering if im missing something here ???
I could build much better station for same amount of resources and money (or less) spent to it (like Floating Meadows or Foodstuffs Supply )

Also those broken terran stations should need Silicon Wafers, Refined Metals or Drones for secondary resources (like maintenance ). After all that chick was telling me that she need food and refined metals (during plot).
What everyone else thinks about this ???
