Modules
In the introductions, there are many mentions of adding modules, but nothing about moving or removing, I accept that the latter will require the player to have storage. What if the player wishes to move a module from one part of a station to another, or to a completely different station all together.
I think there will be spots on the main builder pad that you can expand a module to and then spots on that module to expand it further out. My guess is some spots are for certain modules as some might not fit on all spots.
What i really hope is for vertical building instead of boring horizontal ones. Used to love the high risers from tachyon the fringe.

Hi,
You know, I always wanted to actually build my stations rather than have them dumped fully assembled. I LIKE this feature.
Also, early game, I can imagine players aiding constuction / expansion of NPC stations too...a good practise for building our own one would hope.
I also like the idea of being on a tight buget building your station and shipping all the parts yourself, from wherever you might aquire them...
Additionally, reading between the lines, it seems that stations might be of much greater financial significance than ever before. I.e. in TC and before we buy a cheap station to earn some extra dosh (while we do other things) so we can afford that first M3 / M6 or whatever. In Rebirth we buy that M3 / M6 so we can properly defend our property - which may be our main income source.
Cheers,
Scoob.

Don't forget doing the same for capital ships too! If Bernd wasn't just being figurative about them having hundreds of modules... that's a lot of time to set them up right. But they'd be awesome to fly.
By the sounds of it though they must have managed to free up an awful lot of performance by removing all the years of old code from the game engine, and adding multicore support. There's no way the TC engine could have supported even one of these new capships without slideshow-lag. Though to be fair, I haven't seen what XR does with it yet...
