I'm having trouble putting turrets on my station

[ChillAsIce]

I'm having trouble adding turrets to my stations. I'm trying to finish station building missions. I need to add turrets to finish the missions. I have repeatedly tried to add turrets, remove turrets, get supplies, rent construction ships only to have them leave without doing anything. Nothing seems to work.

Please help. I have a lot of station building missions!

In order to complete a mission of that sort you have to:

1. Go to the place manually.
2. Claim the plot once the mission tells you to.
- If after claiming the plot the mission doesn't move to "build a base", expand the plot until it accepts it.
3. Build the base. Place a dock, then a storage or two (depending on the mission), put turrets on them.
4. After the storages are finished, go into loadout and check if the turrets are there.
5. In order for the turrets to be added, you need to place shield generators with them.
6. If the turrets are not there and the module is finished, move the module around and edit it when it's not built.
- The easiest way is to click the module, rotate it and reattach it in the same place it was attached initially.
7. Once you have everything in place (let's say two storages with 6 turrets each for a 10 turret mission) it should end.
8. If it doesn't end, put a third storage with 6 turrets. Sometimes 18 is what it takes.

Hope that helps.

Most importantly make sure you are nearby when the building finishes. I often have to add extra buildings and turrets until these complete, if your doing it for that "high payout" then I wouldn't bother since you get about what you spend back sometimes. Nice free factories and such though.
