Another note, it seems that stations (aside from being able to move at a horrifying speed LMAO), seem to spawn similar to a ship, in which they spawn in the players/enemies side when deployed. I'm not familliar with modding but if this is of any help, I can somewhat recall that it's one of the tags in a station that allow it to immediately spawn in the middle of a map, since its a station.
Now that I type this though I reckon that would make things extremely awkward when you deploy your station to an enemy station and they both spawn in the middle of the map right on eachother. Maybe the ability to salvage and deploy stations can be off by default and have them work normally as unrecoverable ships? I understand this technically goes against the mod but I think this would make for an okay exception since they simply have special mechanics.
