Am gonna have a look at this station repair drone stuff in a minute. But this game is rather peculiar with its quirky problems.
I mean my silicon production ceased at my giant refinery. Where are the miners? For some strange reason they're now drifting about at the edge of the sector, moving 2 m/s 'searching for resources'. Nowhere near asteroid field. Re-initiate orders, same thing.
This is through the mining command bound to the station. So I switch them back to sector auto mine. Not ideal but at least they're mining again.
Except, about an hour later, production has once again halted. Go to map and 3 of the miners have just malfunctioned, all floating about a 'mine resources' symbol thingy, but it's right next to the station. Logical overview shows these 3 have reserved wares under the buy order (I like this), but there's no timer, it's just --:--.
Thought replacing the pilot would reset it all but nah, had to sell the ships in the end which was a bit annoying. Traders work flawlessly though.
And lol, ok, how do I put guns on my defence platform? I chose high-preset!
That would have been useful to know a lot earlier. To use it now would feel like cheating
