RE: tailor made mining stations

I've gotten away from customizing much beyond arming them to the teeth to spank pirates.
The only truly custom 'mining' station I build any more is a big gas extractor listed as a generic type star base. This thing can be built anywhere, and since I give them a ton of docking bays and cargo space (along with being armed to the teeth), they make good refueling stations. Just build them at your large percentage fuel gas planets and gas clouds and watch the fun. The nice thing is that since it is a 'star base' and not a 'mining station' if I have a planet with great gas (say 98% caslon) as well as other resources, I can still build a regular mining station to get the other goodies...if you make the refueling station a mining station, it won't let you build a second station to get the luxuries or other regular resources.
