I read a lot about people asking for space station and i believe the best way to handle this would be to have them behave the same as anchored arks.

We could potentially have 2 station hull types (defense platform with a not of hitpointsd and many weapons/defense modules and support type which would have support slots for modules not unlike the voydani ark ones but much weaker if attacked).

In the following era these hulls could get extra slots the same way other ships do and new tech could allow one to control more than 1 station in a system.

Also this system would work differently for the voydanis as they already have their arks. Reasearshing the tech that could unlock the stations should instead provide upgrade to the arks f allowing them to stay relevant while every other hull type and ship is getting stronger and stronger

While not space stations per se, the Behemoth serve the two roles proposed in this idea (economic and military)

You'd be better off putting your idea as a point of discussion in the existing Starbases idea instead of creating a new idea post. The idea is to let the developers know that we want starbases/defense platforms in the game. That's the ultimate goal to the idea. Anything furthering that point, such as how it might be possible to do that should be a point for discussion within the existing idea post. It's up to the Devs to decide the means by which they implement this feature. So I would recommend you delete this idea, then upvote the existing Starbases idea thread and then adding your discussion points for "how" you think this feature should be implemented into the comments portion of the existing idea thread. Otherwise your just double-posting an idea and needlessly splitting the community and votes on how it should be accomplished.

Here's the link to the existing Starbases idea thread: https://www.games2gether.com/endless-space-2/ideas/10-buildable-orbital-system-defenses

Remember, the ultimate goal is to get starbases added to the game. Not dictate "how" it "should" be done. That's for the Devs to decide.
