If this exist please let me know!
My idea is to use a single large structure - in my head I imagine a terran station as the model. It should have 1 dock for a TL, and the normal amount of clamps for anything subcap.
The point is to use this large structure as a complex shell. Then you would add stations to it thus requiring you to actually transport them and manually put them into this shell (for balance) and they still require the normal resources. In fact it should retain all the normal aspects of a complex, such as the default production screen, works with CAG Admin but doesn't require the use of complex construction kits.
This would improve FPS in sector with giant complexes and would simplify the building of them. No need to manually position anything except the initial shell and no complex construction kits needed. Could add a fee to add in new stations, perhaps even a bit more than what a complex construction kit would cost.
For mines, maybe have an option to add a mine that you own in sector for a high cost, since they will have to remove the mine and break up the asteroid so it will fit
Again if this already exist please let me know. I don't want anything that doesn't require resources or the modular complex. Although the modular complex is the closest thing i have seen to this idea.
I would do it myself but I have no clue where to even begin.
