Heavy Drones is a rank 5 skill IIRC, it takes a long time for most peeps to do. I actually set it training about a week ago!

Can I ask some noob-questions here?
Now I asked so
Can you build stuff? Spacestations factories and what-not?
Aye you can indeed. Most individuals will only ever produce stuff like ships, weapons and ship modules for the most part. More enterprising individuals will produce / buy POSs to get the special minerals they produce, to help their profit margins on Tech 2 components building. I have a research alt that makes money for my main character by selling Blue Print Copies (BPCs) he produces from a Blue Print Original (BPO) he owns. BPCs and BPOs are integral in the building process. A BPC only gives you a certain number of production runs, wheras a BPO gives you unlimited runs, and a BPC can be made from it.
Larger corporations, or ones with strong industrial wings,
and who exist in 0.0 space can produce Outposts (stations). STK Scientific, whom I fly for, has had one of its own (a refinery focussed one) since about last October IIRC. The corp takes a percentage of all the minerals produced when the refinery is used. Being in 0.0 space and near lots of high-end minerals the income from the reprocessing is very nice indeed. Ascendant Frontier, an Alliance of which STK is a member, has more Outposts than any other alliance in the game with many, many more to come. The cost of an outpost is prohibitive to say the least, or at least well beyond what most individuals can afford, although I have heard of an individual who wants to setup an outpost of their own, fully funded from their own wallet.
