makes it so making a station in a sector is useful
also u cannot have hyper drives on a shipyard
#can only build ships at shipyards

so what happens when you lose all your thrusters after a battle but have the resourses to repair

just got to get the space oars out and paddle to the station

Tbh if you could repair stuff that is already in your blueprint anywhere I wouldn't be against only making additions at a station.

The logic still doesn't add up
There's still no reason why you couldn't
If I go kill a station, then have to gather all a can, run all the way back to a Shipyard just to add on more storages (as OP said they WONT have hyper becons (Though WHY not???)) Then go all the way back to the station just to keep gathering resources why would I bother playing for long
Your making a perfectly fine system worse for no reason

why? i just dont get it either

The "logic" would mostly just be flavor, like in most games you need to be in a garage to make significant changes.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's the best idea in the world, it does make the general gameplay loop longer but it could be cool for a sort of hardcore/realism gamemode.

stations are already useful enough

I wouldn't die on the hill of defending this idea, but I would support it for a more hardcore optional gamemode.
Adds the possibility of getting hit on your way back to a station when you suddenly realize you're under-equipped for the enemies you're encountering.

plus you cant make stations yet in the first place so its absurd to implement a feature like this

also i meant hyper beacons not hyper drive

This would be ok if there were hyper drives also you can repair

While I think this being default would be terrible, I do think it'd make for an interesting challenge option that only station's crew can repair your ship

a realism mode could be fun

maybe repairing at a dock reduces the cost a bit? maybe non dock repairs will cost a bit more the normal,or even one certain parts of a ship can be repaired without a dock (stuff like engines) so you can limp back to a friendly station or your own
could allow for a towing ship aswell, ofc would need to be a game option not base
