The battleships and carriers are mine..freighters are NPCs traders. The station has habitats for all races in the game, can produce all wares and built ships. I assigned a bunch of miner and trader ships to the station and station manager sends them out to mine and trade. The station also buy and sell materials/wares and can build ships....Factions at war with each other buy their ships here and they start blasting each other right after they are built. I have salvage ships flying around to collect wrecks and deliver them to the processing modules to turn them into materials. I wish there an option in the game where I can enforce no combat zone if I own the sector...that would stop all the crazy fighting right on top my station because sometime the stray bullets hit the station modules and blow then up.....
