Is there some way to order a freighter to park at a station and do nothing but collect the wares it produces?
I have my first missile production facility and I want a a resupply ship to just sit there gathering ordinance until needed. No trading. No buying and selling.

Yes.
Start External Commodity Logistics
Waypoints
Add the station
Load Ware
and then select Manual Input Up To and input -1. (You might be able to simply chose Up To Maximum Capacity, can't recall atm.)
The ship will load the ware, even if it's only 1 item that gets produced, as soon as it appears. And, it will stay there loading the wares until you tell it to stop.
This works great for stockpiling weapons, while not taking up valuable floor space at the station, or stockpiling other materials, like those needed for certain plots.

Hmm.
For some reason my freighter is just sitting there on standby.
I did everything you said and immediately it ran to the nearby equipment dock to purchase Mosquitos. I assume that was just because the pilot wanted some for missile defense. But then it just sat there on standby, so I ordered it back to my missile production complex. Now it's sitting there on standby.
My facility actually produces 4 different types of missiles, so I ordered the CLS to load all four kinds to the maximum amount. So far it hasn't loaded a single one.

Set the "Load Ware" to "Maximum Capacity"
Then, go into "Minimum Transfer Amount on Collection/Delivery" to 0%. That should fix it.
If it has a problem, clear the slate by "Restore Default" and then input the commands again.
