Redesign for stations and/or ship blocks prices

[Istend]

Hello. What if production stations will be redesigned? For example, player can produce everything he wants on station (in some limit, or without), by placing specific production blocks. I think this is better than just 1 station per resource (perhaps this will reduce the lags, bc players will not be needed to place alot of stations in one sector)

With that thing, will be not bad to build ship blocks with components (for example, the ship's armor would be made of steel+{iron/titanium/xanion....}). This will made game less casual, so gameplay will be longer, than just "take one of 6 type of resources, build ship (and upgrade it in future), find turrets and subsystems, and run into center of galaxy", and as it seems to me, game will contain more sandbox gameplay.

Yes, idea is needs a lot of time to realize it, but at least i want to hear the dev's opinion about that (likely, i'm not first with that idea)
