Cancel Shipyard Construction

[Alanthier]

Give us a way to cancel an accidental construction in the shipyards.  It's really stupid that we have to wait(especially for the larger ships one plans to use as stations) to finish, before you can scrap it and do it ALL over again, because you forgot to check the "station founder) box. (Or give us a way to just FOUND a station from any ship, instead of us NEEDING to make it at a shipyard all the time.

I wouldn't mind a completely new mechanic for founding stations - you get a beacon from the shipyard to place where you like, and you choose the station type at the shipyard.  When you place the beacon, crews arrive (in small 'not worth scrapping' ships) to build the station over time.  Every new ship that shows up, you get billed a portion of the total.  Your funds run out, or you cancel the contract... the station is decays to scrap.

 

And you'd get billed extra for any losses due to building in a battle zone (so protect those crews!) and a premium for every sector of distance from the shipyard.
