Facilities on Space Station and more?

[Dethgod74]

Hi folks,

Are you able to build facilities (mineral storage, research facilities, etc) on a base/space station or are you limited to the same basic building blocks used for ships?

Second question: If you put cargo holds on a base/space station, can you transfer weapons platforms into that cargo space, and if you do, will those platforms fire their weapons at approaching enemies?

Thank in advance folks!

Regards,
